Window Installation

Window installation is the process by which made to measure glazing and window frames are fitted to a property. These measurements will have been taken by the installation team to ensure that the glazing and frames are a true fit for the window opening. Window installation will also usually include the removal of existing windows. This has to be done carefully to ensure that the integrity of the window opening is maintained and is ready for installation of the new windows.

While it may be tempting to try and save money by installing windows yourself, it could end up costing you more in the long run to put right potential problems.

Can you install windows yourself?

These days it’s possible to find online guides and videos that tell you how to install new windows on your property. While these go through some of the steps you would need to take during window and glazing installation, it’s important to remember that window installation is a highly skilled job. Every window is different, and a range of factors will impact on the installation. The age of the house, awkward angles and the materials around the window frame can all create challenges when it comes to installation.

Professional window installation teams will be highly experienced in overcoming these challenges and know what to do should they be faced with a particular difficulty. Poorly installed windows may move, have gaps that allow draughts and rain to enter, and may need to be repaired or replaced relatively quickly.

Why choose professional window installation?

As well as being a lot less stressful than attempting to install windows yourself, professional window installation has several advantages:

• Energy Efficiency - Professionally installed windows have better insulation and energy efficiency properties. This helps to reduce energy costs and improves the comfort of your home or business.
• Longevity - Professionally installed windows will be less prone to issues and are likely to last longer. This reduces the need for repairs and replacements, saving you money over time.
• Improved Comfort - Windows that are fitted correctly should eliminate draughts, creating a more comfortable environment for occupants.
• Added Security - Poorly fitted windows can create security risks for property owners. When windows are installed correctly they provide a strong, secure barrier against potential intruders.

Increased Property Value - Well-installed windows increase the kerb appeal of your property, adding value and making it more attractive to potential buyers.
