Triple glazed casement windows in Galashiels
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle triple glazed casement windows for homes in Galashiels and the rest of the Scottish Borders.
Side- and top-hung sashes with hinges sized for heavier glass. A casement window has sashes hinged at the side or top that open outwards, the most common window style in UK homes.
Winter light and glass choice in Galashiels
By midsummer Galashiels has about 17 h 31 min of daylight, but in December only around 7 h 02 min, with the noon sun at about 11°. 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 casement 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
We start with a survey, not a sales pitch: measurements, the structure above any bays, trickle-vent needs and escape windows. The quote that follows fixes the price, and anything unexpected on the day is agreed with you first.
- 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
