The Stages of Buying PVC Windows

Purchasing PVC windows is a significant investment that requires a clear sequence of steps. Let’s review the key stages.

1. Defining Your Needs

• State your goals (thermal insulation, noise protection, design).
• Assess the number and sizes of openings.
• Choose preferred opening types (pivoting, tilt‑only, sliding).

2. Measurement and Quotation

• Book a site visit from your chosen company — precise dimensions are critical for airtightness.
• Discuss add‑ons (mosquito nets, ventilation flaps, anti‑burglary hardware).
• Get a detailed quote (windows, installation, reveals).

3. Contract Signing

• Document: dimensions, components, materials, timelines, and responsibilities.
• Pay a deposit
• Agree on delivery and installation dates.

4. Work Acceptance

• Check frame geometry and absence of scratches/chips.
• Test opening/closing of all sashes.
• Verify airtightness (no drafts, condensation).
• Sign the acceptance act with any remarks (if applicable).

7. After‑Sales Service

• Keep the warranty card and contract.
• Contact service at first signs of issues.

Following these stages minimises risks and ensures long‑term window performance.
