Getting the right glass for your building

Laminated or standard

A laminated inner pane adds security for a small extra cost while the unit is being made.

Replace the frame instead

If frames are rotten, warped or very old, new windows may be better value. We will tell you honestly.

What the rules say in Scotland

Scotland

Replacing glass in an existing frame

In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.

Security rules for new homes

Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Bathgate: questions

Which areas near Bathgate do you cover?

We can arrange work in Bathgate and in nearby Livingston (5 miles), Grangemouth (8 miles) and Falkirk (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Do I need a new window frame?

No, if the frame is sound. We replace only the sealed unit.

Why is there condensation between my window panes?

The seal around the unit has failed, letting damp air into the gap. The only lasting fix is a new unit.

Does replacing a unit need building regulations approval?

Replacing glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair rather than new building work, across the UK. Replacing the whole window is different and is controlled.
