Secondary Glazing · Edinburgh

Working in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage city centre combined with growing airport corridor demand makes for varied work. Listed-building secondary glazing across the New Town and Old Town, residential window replacement in EH postcodes, and acoustic glazing for properties under Edinburgh Airport flight paths in EH12, EH28 and EH29.

For acoustic glazing in Edinburgh, aircraft noise from Edinburgh Airport (EDI) shapes the brief — overhead noise here reaches 80+ dB on busy approach paths. Our acoustic specifications start at Rw 38 dB reduction for standard double-glazed acoustic units and scale to Rw 52 dB for triple-glazed asymmetric builds with laminated PVB interlayers. Most commonly we're working across EH12, EH28 and EH29 postcodes. We can normally survey within a week and return a proposal showing measured baseline noise alongside the projected indoor level after install.

Our process

How we deliver in Edinburgh

01

Heritage-sensitive survey

We measure existing reveal depths and assess the primary window's condition. Our surveys are accepted by listed-building officers and planning departments.

02

Bespoke manufacture

Each unit is made to fit your exact reveal — slim aluminium frames in white, brown, black or RAL-matched colours. Glass options include acoustic laminated and Low-E thermal.

03

Discreet installation

Installed entirely from inside the property with no disruption to the original window. Most installations are completed in a single day.
