Wind off the Tay at Dundee, and what it asks of a window

Dundee faces an open estuary. Wind off the Tay reaches waterfront blocks, Broughty Ferry elevations, The Law’s slopes and higher streets above the centre differently from a sheltered back court.

Exposed sites

On the waterfront and in Broughty Ferry, driving rain and gusts test seals, hinges and how firmly a frame sits in the opening. Higher streets catch more weather than low inland terraces. The Law itself is a reminder of how quickly height changes the feel of a facade.

What that asks of a window

Hardware, locking points and glazing choice all come into the survey conversation. Some rooms justify discussing triple glazing Dundee; others are well served by a sound double-glazed unit in a correctly fitted frame. We do not publish invented wind maps — the survey reads the elevation in front of you.
