Crieff, Scotland
Introduction
Scandinavian Windows & Doors recently completed a project on a new build property in Crieff, Scotland. Nestled in the scenic yet often unforgiving Scottish countryside, this property showcases the perfect marriage of innovation and sustainability. A key feature of this project was the installation of solar control glass, a technology that helps reduce solar glare. This project was not just about constructing a home; it was about redefining what modern sustainable living can look like. From installing modern energy efficient glass to overcoming logistical and environmental challenges, Scandinavian Windows & Doors delivered a final result that has not only transformed the property but has also earned it the prestigious Scottish Home of the Year award.
Solar Control Glass
At the heart of this project lies the use of solar control glass, an innovative material which is a type of glass designed to reduce the amount of solar energy that enters a building. It helps to manage heat and glare from sunlight, improving comfort indoors and reducing reliance on air conditioning and heating.
​
Due to the amount of glass specified within the project, solar control glass was a strategic choice. It provides durability and resilience against strong sunlight, ensuring the home remains energy-efficient and functional throughout the year. Additionally, the seamless integration of the solar control glass into the property’s design enhances the architectural appeal, maintaining the sleek and modern aesthetic envisioned by the architects.
The installation of the windows in such a remote location posed several challenges. Crieff’s unpredictable weather and the property’s countryside setting required careful planning and an experienced team to execute the project. The transportation and handling of the windows were particularly complex due to their size and weight.
To address these challenges, Scandinavian Windows & Doors employed a crane to carefully manoeuvre each window into place. This required precision and expertise, as even a small error could have compromised the quality of the installation. The team worked diligently to ensure that every unit was installed correctly, taking into account not only technical considerations but also the property’s overall design and aesthetic goals.
Despite the logistical hurdles, the installation process was a resounding success. Scandinavian Windows & Doors’ meticulous attention to detail and commitment to excellence shone through, ensuring that the finished product met the highest standards of quality.

A Lasting Impact
This project goes beyond being just another installation; it represents a shift in how homes can be designed to meet the challenges of the modern world. The use of solar control glass enables the property to retain energy, reducing costs for the homeowners while contributing to the fight against climate change.
Moreover, the project demonstrates how sustainability and style can go hand in hand. The solar control glass not only enhances the property’s energy efficiency but also elevates its visual appeal, proving that environmentally conscious choices do not have to compromise on design.
The challenges faced during the installation process serve as a reminder of the importance of expertise and planning on such projects. Scandinavian Windows & Doors’ ability to overcome these obstacles demonstrates their leadership in the industry and their dedication to delivering innovative, high-quality solutions.
