Planning glass for the light in Edinburgh
The midday sun over Edinburgh ranges from about 11° at the winter solstice to about 57° at midsummer. Low-angle winter light reaches further into a room through a tall door, which is one reason taller panels are worth considering; on south or west walls, pair them with solar-control glass.
How it works in Edinburgh
Start with a guide price online or by phone. A surveyor then measures your opening in Edinburgh, checks levels and the lintel, and you receive a fixed written quote. After you approve it, the door is made to measure and fitted, to the Scottish building standards.
Approvals in Scotland
Scottish building standards still apply to a replacement door even where no warrant is needed, so the door must meet the energy and safety glazing requirements. If the opening is being formed or widened, a building warrant is required before work begins.
Sliding doors in Edinburgh: questions
Can you widen my opening in Edinburgh?
Yes. We can form or widen an opening for a larger sliding door, with structural calculations, a steel beam and Scottish approvals arranged. That work is quoted alongside the door.
How much are sliding doors in Edinburgh?
Guide prices are the same across mainland Britain. A 2.4 m wide aluminium door is a guide £4,295–£5,295, fitted, including VAT; uPVC starts from £1,695. Your exact price is fixed after survey.
Who fits the doors in Edinburgh?
Doors are fitted by installers we appoint and manage under our contract, so your contract and guarantees stay with us. The same surveyed specification goes from the quote to the factory to the fitters.
