Triple glazed aluminium windows in the Highlands and Islands
Homes across the Highlands and Islands, including Inverness, Stornoway and Dingwall, can have triple glazed aluminium windows measured, made to order and fitted. Island and remote districts are by arrangement, with travel and access costs shown separately on your quote.
Thermally broken aluminium carries heavy triple glass in slim frames, in any RAL colour. Triple glazed aluminium windows use thermally broken aluminium frames, where an insulating strip separates the inside and outside of the frame, holding a three-pane sealed 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
Are aluminium windows cold?
Not if the frame has a proper thermal break. Modern thermally broken systems with triple glass reach whole-window U-values around 1.0, well inside the Building Regulations limit for replacement windows.
Do aluminium windows suit older houses?
They suit many 20th-century homes well. For Victorian and Georgian houses, or conservation areas, timber or heritage-style frames are usually a better match.
How much do triple glazed aluminium windows cost?
Our guide runs from £1,095 for a small window to £2,795 for a large one, fitted and inc VAT. UK quotes typically sit 20 to 35% above uPVC.
Do you cover all of the Highlands and Islands?
We arrange surveys and fitting across the Highlands and Islands. Island and remote districts are by arrangement, with travel and access costs shown separately on your quote.
Do I need permission for triple glazed aluminium windows in Scotland?
In Scotland, replacement windows on houses are widely permitted development since May 2024, with front elevations expected to match closely; listed buildings need consent.
