New Windows and Doors in Balerno, Edinburgh
We supply specialist double glazing windows and doors, and are based in Edinburgh, covering all of Central Scotland.
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.
Balerno Aluminium and uPVC Doors and Windows
Vetro Trade Frames supplies and installs bespoke glazing products for homeowners across Balerno. We work with customers upgrading existing properties, improving extensions and replacing older windows and doors with modern aluminium and uPVC systems.
From contemporary patio doors to traditional entrance doors, every product is made to measure and tailored to suit your home.
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.
uPVC Windows Balerno
uPVC windows remain a popular choice for homeowners wanting practical and energy efficient replacement windows.
Modern systems offer significant improvements compared to older frames and glazing.
Benefits of modern uPVC windows
– Low maintenance
– Improved insulation
– Reduced draughts
– Reliable security features
– Suitable for many property styles
Different opening styles and finishes are available depending on the look and function you want for the property.
Composite Front Doors Balerno
A composite front door offers a balance between appearance, durability and security.
These doors are built using several materials combined together, creating a solid and well insulated entrance door.
Why composite doors are widely chosen
– Strong and secure design
– Traditional and contemporary styles available
– Weather resistant finish
– Minimal upkeep required
– Wide choice of colours and hardware
They work well in detached homes, family houses and renovated properties across Balerno.
Aluminium Windows Balerno
Aluminium windows are often selected for homes where slimmer framing and a more modern appearance are preferred.
The strength of aluminium allows for larger glazed sections while maintaining clean lines.
Aluminium windows are ideal for:

Key advantages include:
– Slim sightlines
– Strong frames

– Traditional homes
Both aluminium and uPVC French door systems are available.
Bifold Doors Balerno
Bifold doors are designed to open up larger sections of a wall, helping connect indoor and outdoor spaces.
The panels fold neatly together to create a wide opening.
Why bifold doors are popular
– They create flexible living spaces
– They allow more daylight into the home
– They work well in open plan layouts
– They help create a stronger connection to the garden
Aluminium bifold systems are especially popular because they can support wider openings with slimmer frames.

Heritage doors are often chosen for:
– Older properties
