Triple glazed sealed unit replacement in Kelso
Looking at triple glazed replacement sealed units for a home in Kelso? We survey, quote and fit across the Scottish Borders, and the TD5 postcode district is part of that.
Triple units for frames that can take them; better double units when they cannot. Sealed unit replacement means changing only the glass in an existing frame.
Winter light and glass choice in Kelso
By midsummer Kelso has about 17 h 31 min of daylight, but in December only around 7 h 02 min, with the noon sun at about 11°. 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 glass-only replacement in Scotland
In Scotland, replacement windows must meet 1.6 W/m²K. Replacing a window or door, frame and all, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
Planning: 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
The surveyor measures every opening, checks ventilation, escape windows and safety-glass zones, and talks through styles. Your written quote lists each item with its glass build-up and U-value, and the price is fixed for that specification.

Questions from Kelso
Can I put triple glazing in my existing windows?
Usually not in a way that helps. Most frames take up to about 28 mm units; a triple unit that thin performs about the same as, or worse than, good double glazing. We check your frames before recommending anything.
Why are my windows misting between the panes?
The seal around the unit has failed and moist air has got in. Only replacing the unit fixes it.
How long does it take to get triple glazed replacement sealed units fitted in Kelso?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 1 to 2 weeks for units, and replacing the units usually takes a few hours to a day.
