Triple glazing for new builds and self-builds in the Scottish Borders
Homes across the Scottish Borders, including Hawick, Galashiels and Jedburgh, can have new-build triple glazing measured, made to order and fitted.
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.

Rules 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
You will know exactly what you are buying: the quote states the unit build-up, frame, finish, fitting work and how Building Regulations compliance is handled. On fitting day each opening is replaced and closed up before the team moves on.
- 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 you supply performance data for SAP?
Yes. Your energy assessor gets the U-values, g-values and frame data for the systems quoted.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send your drawings or window schedule and we will price a package, then confirm sizes on site before manufacture.
Is triple glazing mandatory for new builds?
No. Neither the current rules nor the Future Homes Standard make it compulsory. Triple glazing helps meet the overall energy target.
Do you cover all of the Scottish Borders?
We arrange surveys and fitting across the Scottish Borders.
Do I need permission for new-build triple glazing in Scotland?
In Scotland, a new home needs planning permission, and its windows and doors are approved through the build’s own Building Regulations application rather than as replacements.
