Edinburgh specifics
Housing: New Town and Old Town UNESCO protections govern 4,500+ listed buildings; traditional Scottish sash and case windows are legally mandated in core zones.
Climate: Long cold winters with driving easterlies; high-performance glazing and insulating shutters reduce heat loss in sandstone tenements.
Price driver: Scotland's highest labour rates mirror London; conservation compliance and specialist timber replication push costs further.
Installers: Small cohort of Historic Environment Scotland-accredited joiners; booking 8-12 weeks ahead is standard in EH1-EH3.
