Slim Cavity Glazing across Scotland Central Belt
Ask three firms about Slim Cavity Glazing in Scotland Central Belt and you will get three different answers. Most of what we survey locally is sandstone tenements, Georgian New Town terraces and post-war housing schemes, which is not built to any modern module. cold wet winters with strong westerly exposure sets the pace of decay, and sash and case failure in tenement stock and cill decay at stone junctions is how it shows up first. The part that matters is getting a sealed unit into a historic sightline without bulking it out.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Send what you have, even if it is only a phone photo, and we will take it from there.
One thing that catches people out here: Scottish sash and case construction differs from English box sash and needs matching.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Scotland Central Belt?
Yes. We cover the whole of Scotland Central Belt including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Falkirk and the surrounding villages. Scottish sash and case construction differs from English box sash and needs matching. Because cold wet winters with strong westerly exposure, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
