Rules in Scotland
Scotland sets replacement door limits through the Building Standards Technical Handbook (Domestic), section 6: 1.6 W/m²K. Replacing a door or window, frame and all, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
Before ordering: A replacement door on a house that looks similar to the existing one is generally permitted development; check with your council for flats and conservation areas, and 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.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
Questions
Do I need building regulations for new bifolds?
Replacing an existing door is covered by the replacement rules. A new or widened opening is structural work that needs building control approval.
Are bifolds warmer with triple glazing?
Yes. The glass is most of the door area, so triple units cut heat loss and keep the inner surface warmer.
Are bifold doors secure?
Good systems lock at multiple points on each panel and use anti-snap cylinders. We specify tested doorsets where available.
Do you cover all of Edinburgh and the Lothians?
We arrange surveys and fitting across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Do I need permission for triple glazed bifold doors in Scotland?
In Scotland, a replacement door on a house that looks similar is generally permitted development; check with your council for flats and conservation areas, and listed buildings need consent.
