Why Choose Double Glazed Windows?
A double glazed window consists of two glass inserts separated by an air gap or insulating gas, like argon. It manages to minimise heat transfer, ushering in a cosier indoor feel during the winter months, whilst exploiting the sun’s heat in summer.
Thermal bridging aversion is accomplished by the window materials of UPVC and aluminium, elevating home insulation. Without double glazing in Scotland, you’re increasingly likely to experience a low level of comfort due to profuse heat loss through single-paned windows and excess draughts. Whereas, there will be no such downsides with double-paned windows.
Superior Thermal Efficiency with A+ Windows
We insist on every customer benefitting from A+ energy rated windows so their home offers first-class thermal efficiency. Replacement windows are issued with an energy rating of A+ to E and it signifies how effective a window is at heat retention and restricting energy loss.
Double glazed windows in Scotland that achieve an A+ rating are as good as it gets for heating homes and keeping energy costs down. Heat loss is measured in a U-value – the lower the U-value, the greater the insulation. A+ windows manage to achieve the lowest U-values through their amalgam of insulating frames and advanced double glazing.
Glass That Keeps You Safe
Supplementing a double glazed window’s multi-point locking mechanism and accompanying security features is a toughened or laminated glass. Toughened glass is incredibly difficult to break having been heat-treated to resist impact, while laminated glass upon any shattering will still hold together due to its durable interlayer, minimising threats of injury and being a deterrent to intruders.
This trusty mix of details will give you a dependable barrier against thieves and help make you feel safe within your space.

Answering your questions
We recognise that windows come with many nuances, which is why we’ve addressed the most important ones in the Q&A section.
How long does double glazing last?
For a minimum of 10 years when purchased from Bon Accord Glass, as detailed in our comprehensive customer guarantee.
That doesn’t mean that window performance ceases after a decade or your designs will become unsightly. There’s every chance that the windows will outlast the guarantee and this is just a rough indicator of how long they will last.
Aftercare is available to all customers if you experience issues with the windows during the guarantee period and we’ll make sure we put any problem right promptly.
Does double glazing reduce noise?
Double glazing can minimise how much external noise reaches your home interior if you live in a noisy area.
You get less pane vibration caused by noise when you have two glass sheets rather than just one, a blessing for residents whose habitats are located on a busy street or close to a major transport network.
There is the potential for double glazed windows to reduce sound levels by as much as 31 decibels.
It’s important to say that complete soundproofing won’t be achievable with double glazing, however it can make a noticeable difference.
How much does double glazing cost in the UK?
Several factors will influence the cost of double glazing, such as the number of windows ordered, their required sizes, glass and style type, and so on.
UPVC double glazing comes in at a lower price than aluminium windows – that’s one of the first things to point out, but aluminium-crafted solutions are in no way expensive for what you get.
Is double glazing secure?
You bet it’s secure, not least because you have an extra protective layer of glass than a single glazed window and the two glazed units are internally beaded to prevent their removal from outside of a property.
Furthermore, double glazed windows have a host of secure components, including a multi-point locking mechanism that engages them at the top, middle and bottom of the design. Subjected to extreme force, this locking system won’t budge.
Durable framework also plays an integral part in overall window security and UPVC and aluminium are two of the strongest materials going, both harnessed separately by Bon Accord in the window manufacturing process.
