Old glass and timber frames count as construction waste and should not go in a normal bin. Ask the fitter to break down the old units on site and take them away, leaving the driveway clean. Keep the waste transfer note with your invoice for proof of legal disposal.
Composite doors combine a timber core with a glass-reinforced plastic skin and resist warping. Solid timber looks great but swells in wet seasons. uPVC doors stay stable but can fade after 10 years of strong sun. Steel doors give the best security but need a thermal break to stop cold transfer.
Ask for a written warranty covering frames, glass units, and hardware separately. Sealed glass units often carry a 10-year fog-free guarantee. Installation labour should be warranted for at least 2 years. Keep the FENSA or equivalent certificate for insurance and future property sales.
Glazing beads hold the glass inside the frame. External beads are safer against intruders, internal beads are easier to service. Ask which type you have and how to pop a bead out without breaking it. Keep a spare bead set aside in case one cracks during future reglazing.
Frames come in uPVC, aluminium, timber, or composite. uPVC needs little care and holds heat well. Aluminium is slimmer but adds thermal breaks to fight condensation. Timber looks classic but asks for repainting every 6 to 8 years. Ask the fitter which profile rating matches your wall and local weather.
Windows should carry PAS 24 or Secured by Design certification. Multi-point locking on doors needs hooks at the top and bottom, not just a centre latch. Ask for 3-star euro cylinders, anti-snap barrels, and hinge bolts on the inside frame. A 1-star cylinder is too easy to bypass.
Choose the frame style to match your wall opening. Casement frames swing open, tilt-and-turn frames tilt in, and fixed frames do not open. Check the reveal depth in millimetres so the frame sits flush with plaster. Ask the fitter to confirm the wall makeup before ordering a profile.
Damp patches near the head or sill often point to a broken bridge in the frame, not the wall. Run your hand along the reveal and feel for cold spots. Ask the fitter to drill a small inspection hole in the frame cavity and confirm the insulation is continuous.
Double glazing is now the baseline for most homes. Triple glazing drops heat loss more but adds weight and cost. Low-E coatings and argon gas fill raise the U-value rating. Laminated glass blocks noise near busy roads. Ask for the exact U-value and glass thickness before signing anything.
Newer windows must include trickle vents or a mechanical extractor to meet building rules. Removing them causes mould and stale air, even with double glazing. Keep trickle vents open in kitchens and bathrooms. The 2-position slider lets you regulate airflow without leaving the window cracked open.
