BFRC tested and approved UPVC windows in Edinburgh, supplied and installed by Viewforth Glazing. As well as being the first window created to gain the new 'A' Rating for energy efficiency, they were also the first fully reinforced double glazed window system to excel the tests. The Window Energy Ratings are a simple way of telling how energy efficient your new windows and doors can be. In the process of creating your individual windows and doors we will design them to keep the heat in and the elements out.
All our aluminium windows and doors offer a very slimline design which is energy efficient, highly secure and because there is less frame, offers a large glass area that lets in more light. They are polyester powder coat painted to marine standards, providing a scratch resistant colour finish that is guaranteed against fading and flaking. Aluminium windows are also very sustainable. The lifespan of aluminium windows can be in excess of 50 years and the frames can be fully recycled to use again. High technology thermally broken frames and the EPDM weatherseal system we use means our aluminium windows are thermally efficient, exceeding all Building Regulation U-Values for windows and achieving up to an A Energy Rating.
Whether installing Velux windows, roof windows or Cupolas you will be impressed with the natural light flooding in from above. The view of the sky and surroundings will add a new quality to your life.

Although we also have an option available for triple glazing. Cupolas can be manufactured using various materials either timber, aluminium or PVC.
Glass splashbacks make an attractive and contemporary addition to any kitchen or bathroom. Our glass splashbacks are manufactured with the Pilkington toughened safety glass known as OptiWhite, which is a low iron glass that does not have a green edge tint, which regular float glass has. This makes the glass ideal for back painting allowing the true bright colours to show through without a peppermint tint. This can be with any number of colours, including your own specified RAL colour code, our own range of colour codes, which include a large number of metallic and sparkle paint finishes.
One of the age old curses of installing window blinds to UPVC windows has been the potential damage when fitting with screws. Knowing that the instant the first screw pierces the UPVC surround you have probably invalidated any guarantee issued with the window. How frustrating, when you know the lifetime warranty has just been consigned to the waste bin. Perfect Fit® resolves this and many other concerns whereby a blind is fitted without the use of screws or adhesives. Perfect Fit is a remarkable innovation, by using a simple snap-fit operation the perfect blind is fitted neatly and without fuss, every time and in less than 30 seconds.
