New Windows and Doors in Balerno, Edinburgh
Take a look at the photos below from one of our recently completed projects on Lanark Road, Balerno.
This beautiful self-build property combines modern architectural design with large-scale aluminium glazing to create bright, open living spaces filled with natural light. A standout feature of the project is the impressive 10-panel aluminium bifolding door, extending over 10 metres wide and allowing the living area to open seamlessly onto the outdoor space.
Throughout the property, oversized triple glazed units were installed to maximise daylight while delivering exceptional thermal performance and energy efficiency. All systems were supplied using our fully thermally broken aluminium frames, helping the home achieve the high standards expected from a contemporary self-build project.
As part of the final design, the client also selected one of our stylish aluminium double entrance doors complete with sleek stainless steel handles, perfectly complementing the modern appearance of the home. The completed project delivers a contemporary, energy-efficient living space with clean lines, expansive glazing, and a premium finish throughout.

Making Better Use of Natural Light
Many homeowners in Balerno look for ways to make their homes feel brighter and more open. Modern glazing systems can help achieve this by using slimmer frames and larger glass panels than older window and door systems.
This is especially popular in:
Kitchen extensions
Rear renovations
Open plan living areas
Garden facing rooms
The right glazing can completely change how a space feels without altering the overall character of the property.
Sliding Patio Doors Balerno
Sliding doors are designed to create large glazed openings with minimal visible framing.
Because the panels slide horizontally, they are practical in spaces where traditional opening doors may take up too much room.
Homeowners often choose sliding doors for:
Wide garden openings
Modern extensions
Patio access
Rooms with countryside or garden views
Large glass panels also help maximise daylight throughout the room.
