Rules for Passivhaus and EnerPHit 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.
Before ordering: 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.
