Triple glazed bay and bow windows in Lerwick
We take enquiries for triple glazed bay and bow windows in Lerwick. Because ZE1 is a remote or island district, surveys and fitting are by arrangement, with travel costs agreed before you commit.
Three- and five-light bays, structure checked and supported. A bay window projects out from the wall in angled sections; a bow window curves in more, shallower sections.
Winter light and glass choice in Lerwick
By midsummer Lerwick has about 18 h 56 min of daylight, but in December only around 5 h 49 min, with the noon sun at about 6°. Triple glazing keeps more heat in during those long, dark months; big south and west windows may suit solar-control glass for summer.

Rules for bay and bow windows in Scotland
Scotland requires replacement windows to achieve 1.6 W/m²K, which good triple glazing passes comfortably. 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
You will know exactly what you are buying: the quote states the unit build-up, frame, finish, fitting work and how Building Regulations compliance is handled. On fitting day each opening is replaced and closed up before the team moves on.

Questions from Lerwick
Can I change a bay to a flat window?
That is a structural and planning change, not a like-for-like replacement. Ask and we will explain what it involves.
Will the bay be warmer?
Yes. Replacing old double or single glazing in a bay with triple glazing cuts heat loss through the glass and makes the glass surface warmer, so the room feels less draughty.
Do you fit triple glazed bay and bow windows in Lerwick?
By arrangement. Lerwick (ZE1) is a remote or island district, so we confirm availability before booking a survey and show any travel or access costs separately on your quote.
How long does it take to get triple glazed bay and bow windows fitted in Lerwick?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 5 to 8 weeks, and most homes are fitted in 1 to 4 days.
