Triple glazing for new builds and self-builds in Stornoway
We take enquiries for new-build triple glazing in Stornoway. Because HS1 is a remote or island district, surveys and fitting are by arrangement, with travel costs agreed before you commit.
Window and door packages priced from drawings and fitted to your programme. 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 Stornoway
By midsummer Stornoway has about 18 h 15 min of daylight, but in December only around 6 h 23 min, with the noon sun at about 8°. 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 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.
- Guide prices published, not hidden
- No pressure: the quote is yours to keep
- Frames, glass and fitting in one contract
