Triple glazing for new builds and self-builds in Newtownards
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle new-build triple glazing for homes in Newtownards and the rest of County Down.
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 Newtownards
Winter days in Newtownards are short: about 7 h 15 min of daylight on 21 December, with the sun peaking near 12°. That low angle reaches deep into south-facing rooms, so we match the glass to each elevation rather than using one spec for the whole house.

Rules for new builds and self-builds in Northern Ireland
For a new home in Northern Ireland, windows and doors are approved through the build’s full plans application to council Building Control: they must average 1.40 W/m²K, with no single unit worse than 3.00. 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
