Triple glazing for new builds and self-builds in Oban
New-build triple glazing for homes in Oban (PA34) are surveyed and fitted by arrangement: we confirm availability first, and any travel or access costs are shown separately on your quote.
U-values, g-values and installation details for your assessor. Triple glazing is not required by Building Regulations for new homes, but it helps a new dwelling meet its overall energy target.
Winter light and glass choice in Oban

Rules for new builds and self-builds in Scotland
For a new home in Scotland, windows and doors are part of the building warrant for the build: they must average 1.6 W/m²K across all windows, doors and rooflights, with no single unit worse than 3.3. The house itself needs planning permission.
VAT: supply and fitting by a VAT-registered contractor in the construction of a new home is normally zero-rated, so new-build guide prices are shown without VAT; supply-only purchases carry 20% VAT, which self-builders can usually reclaim through HMRC’s DIY housebuilders scheme.
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.
- 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
