Triple glazed sliding patio doors in Edinburgh
If you live in Edinburgh (EH1) and want triple glazed sliding patio doors, start with a free survey: every opening measured, then a written quote that fixes the price.
More glass, less cold: sliders that stay comfortable in winter. A sliding patio door has large glazed panels that slide past each other on a track, so it opens without swinging into the room.
Winter light and glass choice in Edinburgh
By midsummer Edinburgh has about 17 h 37 min of daylight, but in December only around 6 h 58 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 sliding patio doors in Scotland
In Scotland, replacement external doors must meet 1.6 W/m²K. Replacing a door or window, frame and all, does not need a building warrant, but the work must still meet the building standards.
Before ordering: A replacement door on a house that looks similar to the existing one is generally permitted development; check with your council for flats and conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
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.
- Free survey and a written quote fixed for the specification
- Glass build-up and door U-value on every quote
- Written handover pack at the end of the job
- Guarantees on frames, units and fitting in writing
