Acoustic triple glazing in Edinburgh and the Lothians
Homes across Edinburgh and the Lothians, including Edinburgh, Livingston and Haddington, can have acoustic triple glazing measured, made to order and fitted.
Laminated acoustic panes and mixed glass thicknesses for noisy roads. Acoustic triple glazing combines a three-pane unit with at least one laminated acoustic pane and panes of different thickness, which together reduce traffic and aircraft noise more than a standard unit.

Rules in Scotland
The rules for replacement windows in Scotland are set by the Building Standards Technical Handbook (Domestic), section 6: 1.6 W/m²K. Replacing a window or door, frame and all, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
Planning: Since May 2024, replacement windows on houses are widely permitted development, including in many conservation areas, with front elevations expected to match the existing closely; your council tells you if prior notification applies. Flats outside conservation areas generally need permission only if the opening size changes. Listed buildings need listed building consent.
How it works
After the free survey you get a written quote naming the frame system, the glass build-up and the whole-window U-value for every item. Windows are made to order, then fitted, sealed and made good, one opening at a time.
- Free survey and a written quote fixed for the specification
- Glass build-up and whole-window U-value on every quote
- Written handover pack at the end of the job
- Guarantees on frames, units and fitting in writing
Questions
How much extra is acoustic glass?
Comparing our guide prices, acoustic glass adds about £50 to £200 a window, inc VAT, depending on size.
Does triple glazing reduce noise more than double?
A little: the third pane adds about 3 dB, sometimes less. Laminated acoustic glass makes the bigger difference, whether in a double or triple unit.
Will acoustic glazing block all traffic noise?
No glazing makes a room silent. Well-specified acoustic glazing makes a clear, noticeable reduction, especially in the low rumble of traffic.

Do I need permission for acoustic triple glazing in Scotland?
