Why Choose WaveTech for Double Glazing in Arbroath
Double glazing Arbroath is our core specialism. WaveTech Exteriors has built a reputation on precision fitting, quality materials and honest pricing. We comply fully with Scottish Building Standards — every installation we complete meets your local authority's requirements, and we handle the Building Warrant process on your behalf where required.
Our installers are fully trained in fenestration installation and work exclusively with Veka profile systems. That matters because poorly fitted double glazed windows and doors fail faster, leak heat and develop condensation between panes. We measure, manufacture and install to tolerances of 2mm or less, so your new uPVC frames sit flush and your sealed glass units perform exactly as rated. All sealed units are manufactured to BS EN 1279 standards, and every product we fit is fully certified and traceable.
We offer a price-match promise against any like-for-like written quote from another reputable installer in Arbroath or Angus. If it really does come down to price, we can source alternative window systems to meet your budget — but we always explain the trade-offs so you can make an informed decision. No pressure sales. No inflated "discounts." Just a fair, transparent quote based on the actual specification you need.
Every project we complete is backed by a 10-year WaveTech Exteriors guarantee covering frames, sealed units, moving parts and rubber seals. We also provide aftercare visits at 12 months post-installation to check drainage channels, adjust hinges and confirm your double glazed units remain condensation-free.
Our Double Glazing Systems
Veka uPVC Windows
Our primary window system comes from Veka, the trusted German manufacturer. These uPVC frames offer exceptional thermal performance, low maintenance and proven durability in Scottish conditions. Veka profiles are engineered with multi-chamber construction — better insulation and a lower U-value. Available in white, grey and black finishes, they blend with period properties and modern homes alike.
As Veka-certified installers, we assess the entire window system — not just the glass. Veka's Window Energy Ratings evaluate three critical factors: U-value (heat loss), G-value (solar heat gain) and air leakage. Certification is based on how the whole installation performs once it's fitted, not just the spec sheet. The truth: you can have the best windows in the world, but if they're not fitted properly the cold still gets in around the gaps. Our job is to make sure every joint is sealed properly so the thermal and security benefits actually land.
Triple Glazing
Triple glazing is about 15% more expensive than double, and although it delivers a better U-value, it doesn't really justify the extra cost for most homes. Properly fitted double glazed windows are genuinely enough. We recommend triple only in specific situations — mainly for noise reduction or very exposed properties. Even then, acoustic glass in a quality double-glazed frame can deliver equivalent sound insulation at lower cost. Installation always matters more than premium specs.
Coloured & Woodgrain Finishes
Our Veka uPVC frames come in foil finishes — a wrap rather than paint — in a curated range of options. Available finishes include rosewood, golden oak, anthracite grey, black (catching up in popularity) and chartwell green (popular for cottage-style properties). Standard white remains the most common. We stick to finishes that are popular and consistently available.

Signs You Need New Windows
5 Signs Your Glazing Needs Attention
Double glazing in Arbroath faces constant exposure to North Sea winds, salt air and driving rain. If any of these apply to your home, get in touch for a professional assessment.
Condensation Between Panes
Misting or fogging inside a sealed glass unit means the perimeter seal has failed. Moisture has entered the cavity and the argon gas providing thermal insulation has escaped. The unit can't be repaired — it needs replacing. A failed sealed unit can increase heat loss through that window by 30% or more.
Draughts Around Frames
Run your hand along the edges on a windy day. If you feel cold air, the gasket seals or compression weatherstripping have degraded. In older uPVC frames, rubber gaskets harden and shrink after 15–20 years. New quality double glazed uPVC will solve this and you'll notice the comfort difference from day one.
Difficulty Opening or Closing
Stiff handles, dropped sashes, or windows that jam point to worn hinges, failed friction stays or frame distortion. Sash windows are particularly prone to balance-mechanism failure. Forcing a window risks cracking the glass or snapping the espagnolette locking bar — replacement is safer than continued forcing.
Visible Damage to Frames
Cracked, warped or discoloured uPVC frames lose structural rigidity. Timber frames with flaking paint or soft spots indicate rot. Both compromise the thermal performance and security of your double glazed units. A panel cracked or bowed beyond adjustment has to be replaced.
Rising Energy Bills
If your heating costs climb year on year despite no change in usage, your windows may be the culprit. Single glazed or failed double glazed windows account for up to 25% of a home's total heat loss. Replacing them with A-rated, properly fitted double glazing meaningfully reduces annual heating costs on a typical three-bedroom Arbroath home — the exact saving depends on what's currently fitted, how the rest of the house performs, and how warm you keep it.
Local Installs
Real Arbroath Properties, Real Installs
We've fitted windows across most of Arbroath's housing stock — Victorian sandstone, post-war semis, modern estates and conservation-area cottages. The right system depends on the property, the orientation and how exposed it is to the coast.

Our Double Glazing Arbroath Process
A structured six-step process designed to deliver accurate results with minimal disruption to your home — from initial survey through to Building Warrant compliance and handover.
Free Survey & Quote
One of our glazing team visits your property to measure every opening. We assess existing frames, check for structural issues and discuss your preferences for style, colour and glass spec. We also discuss your preferred interior finish — trim, full or plastered. You receive a detailed written quote within 48 hours.
Specification & Order
Once you approve the quote, we finalise the technical spec — glass type (low-emissivity, self-cleaning or acoustic), gas fill (argon or krypton), frame colour and finish, handle style, trickle vents. We confirm stormproof casements (standard) or flush casements (heritage-appropriate). Bespoke units ordered from Veka.
Removal of Old Glazing
On installation day, our team carefully removes existing windows or doors. Floors, walls and furniture protected with dust sheets and frame guards. Old frames and glass disposed of responsibly.
Fitting New Frames & Sealed Units
New Veka uPVC frames installed, packed and levelled precisely. Double glazed sealed units fitted. Every frame mechanically fixed and foam-sealed to prevent draughts and water ingress. Each door and window plumb, square and operating correctly before we move on.
Finishing & Hardware
Handles, locks, hinges and restrictors fitted. Internal and external trims applied. Silicone pointing seals frame to brickwork or render. If chosen, our in-house window spraying service colour-matches frames to your exact spec — we're the only Scottish company offering installation and spraying under one roof.
Compliance & Handover
Installation meets Scottish Building Standards. We arrange any required Building Warrant documentation, issue your 10-year WaveTech guarantee paperwork and walk you through operation and maintenance. A care guide so you can maintain your uPVC double glazed windows long-term. 12-month aftercare visit included.
