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.
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.
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.
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.
Open and close every sash before the team leaves. Look for even gaps of 3 to 5 mm around the frame. Run a damp finger along seals to find air leaks. Check sills with a spirit level. Water-test doors with a hose for 10 minutes before signing the completion form.
New frames often leave a 10 to 20 mm gap around the perimeter that needs filling. Ask whether the quote includes making good the plaster or just the foam and silicone seal. Photograph the wall before work starts so any cracks afterwards are easy to pin on the fitter.
Foam filling the entire gap stops the frame from moving with temperature changes. Packers left behind under the sill create cold bridges. Silicone applied over dirty trim peels within months. Ask the fitter how they seal the perimeter and how they pack the frame before screwing it in.
Standard white frames in common sizes arrive in 2 to 3 weeks. Coloured, foiled or non-standard sizes stretch to 5 to 7 weeks. Ask the supplier to print the order confirmation with the dispatch date and the delivery date so you can book the fitter with a real window.
Size, frame material, and glass rating drive most of the cost. Colour foil, woodgrain finish, or dual-colour frames raise the bill. Bay or shaped windows cost more because templates are custom. Removal of asbestos-lined sills, scaffolding, and skip hire add separate line items to the quote.
If you face a road or railway, acoustic laminated glass cuts noise by 6 to 10 decibels over standard double glazing. The panes have a sticky interlayer that dampens vibration. Ask for the Rw rating in writing and compare it across quotes rather than trusting vague terms like soundproof.
