Precision-Focused French Window Installation Services
Every French window installation has its unique challenges. Here’s how we approach common obstacles with methods that actually work:
- The Problem: You’ve been noticing drafts coming from your old windows, especially during the winter months.
Our Solution: Using thermal imaging technology, we locate gaps and air leaks before installation. Then, we seal the openings with high-performance materials like expanding polyurethane foam to ensure no heat escapes. - The Problem: Your walls aren’t perfectly even, leading to potential alignment issues.
Our Solution: Instead of forcing a standard frame into place, we adjust the installation with precision shims and laser levels to achieve flawless alignment. - The Problem: Concerned about security in ground-floor installations.
Our Solution: We install reinforced multi-point locking systems and use laminated safety glass to deter break-ins, meeting PAS 24 certification standards.
Step-by-Step Window Installation Breakdown
When it comes to installing French windows, no detail is overlooked. Here’s a practical breakdown of how we handle the job from start to finish:
- Pre-Site Inspection: We check for structural issues, wall conditions, and existing cavity insulation. This eliminates surprises and lets us plan for any extra work, such as adding damp-proof barriers.
- Frame Preparation: Whether you’ve chosen uPVC, aluminium, composite, or timber, we’ll ensure your frames are ready. Reinforced frames are pre-drilled with anchor points that suit your wall type, whether it’s brick, block, or plaster.
- Old Window Removal: Safely dismantling old frames without damaging brickwork requires precision tools and methods like oscillating saws to prevent overcuts.
- Weatherproofing: For UK homes, we use weatherproof membranes and acrylic-based sealants to withstand heavy rainfall and prevent water ingress.
- Precise Frame Fitting: Using spirit levels and spacers, we mount the frame while ensuring correct tolerances for movement during seasonal changes.
- Final Checks and Testing: Once the windows are installed, we check for draughts, operation smoothness, and locking integrity. A final customer walkthrough ensures satisfaction.
Common Challenges and How We Handle Them
Every installation comes with its own set of hurdles, but with the right approach and tools, we ensure each challenge is resolved effectively and without compromise.
Uneven Wall Surfaces
It’s common for older UK homes to have uneven brick or plaster surfaces. For these situations, we use self-levelling adhesives and purpose-built trim kits that eliminate visible gaps while maintaining structural integrity.
Security Concerns in Urban Areas
We install internal beading to prevent intruder tampering, coupled with laminated glass that holds together even when struck. Our locking systems are designed to meet British Standard BS 3621.
Energy Efficiency Worries
Using warm-edge spacers and argon-filled glazing units, we significantly reduce heat transfer. These features cut energy bills while meeting EPC rating improvements for property value.
Selecting the Right Materials
When choosing materials for your French windows, each option offers distinct advantages based on your needs:
- uPVC: Highly durable and resistant to rot. Its affordability makes it the go-to option for budget-conscious homeowners.
- Aluminium: Known for its slim frames and high tensile strength. Best for larger openings.
- Composite: Combines durability with excellent insulation, making it suitable for extreme weather conditions.
- Timber: Classic and elegant, ideal for maintaining the character of period properties, especially when treated for rot resistance.
