It’s all in the details
Cottage windows are defined by many things, including what coloured finish they parade and the handles and hinges married into their design. ProGlaze invites you to dictate every detail as it’s only right that you get to personalise such a vital home component.
Classic shades and woodgrain finishes
Choose from a broad selection of colours, textures and realistic woodgrain effects for your cottage windows. From understated heritage tones to richer shades, you can create a finish that feels at home with the character of your property. Slim glazing bars, putty-style joints and fine sightlines can also help capture the look of original cottage joinery.
Contemporary finishes with lasting appeal
Eclipse aluminium cottage windows can be finished in a range of durable powder-coated colours, such as delicate neutrals and richer shades. For a warmer, more traditional appearance, Oak, Rosewood and Walnut woodgrain finishes offer the look of timber but with the benefits associated with aluminium.
Finishing touches that really do matter
Window handles should make the opening, closing and securing of cottage windows hassle-free. All our traditional and contemporary designs, with their dependable locking mechanisms, will be a firm defence against intrusion, giving you maximum protection.
Customise your cottage windows
Small changes to the glass can make a big difference to the finished cottage window. Be decorative, bring in colour or stop unwanted views in private spaces.

Common questions about cottage windows
Cottage windows remain hugely popular in Scotland for many reasons. If you have any queries about them, scroll down to our common questions for an answer. For anything else, just pick up the phone to ProGlaze and ask to speak to one of our friendly design experts.
1. What are cottage style windows?
Cottage windows recreate the small panes and fine detailing associated with traditional country homes. Georgian bars divide the glass to produce a familiar multi-pane appearance, while traditional proportions help retain that distinctive cottage look.
2. Can cottage windows work on a modern home?
Absolutely. Cottage windows can add warmth and individuality to newer properties as well as older homes. Choosing an appropriate colour, glazing pattern and frame style can give a modern house a softer, more distinctive appearance.
3. Are cottage windows suitable for conservation areas?
They can be considered for conservation-area properties, but local planning requirements should always be checked before replacing windows. Scottish listed buildings may require listed building consent, while conservation areas can have specific rules covering materials, proportions and glazing patterns.
4. Can I personalise cottage windows?
Yes, you can. There are plenty of ways to give them an individual touch, including colours, woodgrain finishes, glazing patterns, Georgian bars, privacy glass, decorative glass – you name it! You can choose details that closely reflect old cottage windows or fashion a more personal design.
5. Do cottage windows offer good security?
Just because they have a heritage-like aesthetic doesn’t mean cottage windows provide old-fashioned security. Modern cottage windows can incorporate multi-point locking, strong frames and secure hardware to help protect your home against forced entry.
6. Which cottage window material lasts longest?
The lifespan depends on the material, manufacturing quality, installation and maintenance. Aluminium is particularly durable and resistant to weathering, while good-quality UPVC can also provide many years of reliable service. Timber can last for decades when properly maintained.
7. Is UPVC or aluminium best for cottage windows?
It depends on what matters most to you. UPVC offers low maintenance and can be a more affordable option, while aluminium provides strength and slim profiles. ProGlaze can help you weigh up the differences.
8. Do cottage windows require lots of maintenance?
Modern UPVC windows and aluminium cottage windows require considerably less upkeep than traditional timber. They don’t need regular sanding and repainting, so routine cleaning and occasional checks are generally enough to keep them looking and working well.
