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.
