Clearview PVCu Windows & Doors is an Aberdeen-based company that has over 25 years of industry experience. Their extensive experience makes them the go-to for the local community’s window and door needs.

First off, we are impressed by the wide selection of windows and doors they carry. Windows include tilt and turn, casement, fully-reversible, and flush sash while doors include French, composite, patio, and bifold.

What’s unique about their windows is that all of them come with added features for higher security. These features include fully reinforced frames and toughened glass, ensuring that they are hard to break into.

They also have a Build Check certification which is reassuring. This signifies that their products are being tested to the most relevant and up-to-date UK and international standards, and they also go through regular audits.

They also provide a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee. This solid coverage would certainly provide their customers with some peace of mind which we appreciate. 

Speaking of peace of mind, we also like the fact that they are highly-responsive to repair requests. Some customers mentioned how repairmen came within an hour after their requests which really made them happy.

Unfortunately, this shop is closed three days a week– from Fridays to Sundays. 

In addition, we heard reports of improper window installations. Some Clearview windows had gaps which allowed water seepage to go through, causing mildew.

Thistle Windows & Conservatories Ltd  is another good option for installing windows and doors in Aberdeen. Unlike other shops, they are open seven days a week which is highly-convenient for customers.

If you have a limited budget, do check their website periodically. This will let you know which seasonal discounts they currently offer.

You can also choose from their incredibly useful finance options. You can apply for their 0% interest-free credit, or you can buy now and pay later– the first repayment is nine months after purchase.

In terms of their products, we admire the innovative roof window solutions they have. These include VELUX and FAKRO, sun tunnels, and transforming balcony windows–all of them have energy-efficient, triple glazing, & double glazing options.

Not only do they have unique roof windows, they also have a wide range of stylish and secure interior and exterior doors. Customers can choose from PVCu doors, composite doors, and aluminium doors.

If you want to design your own door, simply visit their spacious and well-lit showroom. You can use their Interactive Door Designer in order to design and create a customised, one-of-a-kind door for your home.

Sadly, we heard reports of shoddy window installations that needed to be replaced. 

Customers also mentioned that their fitters were untidy and even damaged their walls. These customers had to hire another service to repair and repaint their damaged walls.

We hope these issues are looked at sooner rather than later, so that the skills of their workers would match the high quality of their doors and windows.

MTC Windows & Doors’ impressive 30 years of industry experience really caught our eye. They provide professional and quality home improvements, which include replacement windows and doors, in the Aberdeen area.

We like that they offer a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee on windows and doors unlike other shops.

Additionally, they are experts in installing modern PVCu windows. This option is not only cost-effective, it is also secure, energy-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing.

For those who own businesses, we think they might be a good option since they also specialise in commercial glazing services. If you need double-glazed windows or doors for your business, simply call them up for a free quote.

On top of basic window and door installations, they also have extension and conversion services. If you are looking to convert an unused loft or garage and turn it into a living space, they’d give you a reasonable package, including the doors and windows.

Unfortunately, compared to other shops, they have a more limited selection of window and door types.

Also, former customers were annoyed with their installers. They were quite messy and did not pick up after themselves.

Not only were they messy, they were said to be careless as well. Some of the home items they broke were toilet seats, garden slabs, and light switches.

These issues seem to be all personnel-related rather than product-related. Thus, we hope these can be fixed by the management to help provide customers with a smooth installation experience.

Another locally-based installation company that has over 30 years of experience is McGregor Glazing. Their service area covers all properties within a 50-mile radius of Aberdeen.

What’s great about this shop is that they provide free in-home assessments, measures, and quotes. These are no-obligation services, so customers should not feel pressured at all.

If you are looking to save electricity costs, you’d be happy to know that they specialise in energy-efficient glass windows and doors. This is done by taking advantage of their double glazing expertise.

This shop also carries the award-winning range of VEKA PVCu windows. They can supply and professionally install them, and they have the Reichs-Ausschuss für Lieferbedingungen (RAL) Colour Chart available for you to choose from. 

If you are concerned with privacy and security, then you’re in luck. They sell a range of crime shields, toughened glass, and window films which will help add to your peace of mind.

Sadly, former customers mentioned their unskilled fitters. After the free home visit and measure, they came back to install the products, but they did not fit at all.

They were also annoyed by the pushy sales representatives of the shop. Some even complained that they showed up at their doorsteps unannounced!

We believe that by properly training their workers, this company will be able to improve the way they service their customers.

Bon Accord Glass prides themselves in their ability to improve Aberdeen homes since they’ve been doing it since 1974. 

One thing that gives them an edge is that they are open on Saturdays unlike other shops. Those who are free only during weekends will be able to check out their windows and doors selection in their lovely, bright showroom.

In terms of savings, they also have seasonal discounts. Do check their web page from time to time in order to take advantage of these special offers and promos.

On top of these discounts, they also offer finance options to make the purchase easier on your wallet. You can apply for their 3 years 0% interest-free credit available on all windows & doors, or you can buy now and pay 12 months after the installation.

Another amazing deal they offer is their price promise guarantee wherein they promise to give you their best prices possible without going through lengthy negotiations.

What we also like about this shop is that every door and window installation carries a 10-year guarantee which I’m sure is quite reassuring to customers.

Compared to other shops, however, they can be a bit pricier. However, most customers seem to think that the quality of their products are worth the price.

Also, some customers were dismayed with some of the errors their workers made during the installation of the windows. Up to now, some of these errors were not yet rectified.
