  • You Too Can DIY uPVC Windows. Ask Frank.

    Posted on March 8th, 2010 No comments

    I called in to see my old friend Frank last week and found him admiring his new uPVC windows.  They looked really well and I told him so.  I also asked him who did the job for him, as I was considering getting some windows installed myself.  ‘I did them myself’, he laughed.

    I was very impressed that Frank was able to DIY uPVC windows.  ‘Was it difficult?’ I asked.   He said that it was not the easiest project he had ever undertaken, but as he had done some home improvement work before, he had decided to have a go at it.  He said that the most important thing to do was to plan properly.

    ‘I was fairly sure that  did not need planning permission, but I did check with the local planning office anyway, just to be sure’, he said.  ‘Then I went online to research how to DIY uPVC windows.  There are good sites out there like http://upvcwindowsguide.com that have articles on all aspects of uPVC windows’.  He went on to say that he had to pick a style of window that suited the house and he took his time to make sure that he picked the right type.

    He actually bought his windows online from a supplier that gave a very good deal on shipping costs.  ‘Be careful though’, he said. ’Shipping costs for heavy items like windows could be high and you might end up being better of purchasing from a local supplier’.

    When he started to install his DIY uPVC windows he kept his laptop close to hand and he was able to get answers to any problems he came up against online.  ‘The window supplier was a great help to me’, he said. ‘ He gave me excellent instructions on how to install the windows and it worked out great’.

    I had to admit he was right, the job did look really well.  And will I DIY uPVC windows in my own house?  Well, I am thinking about that!

  • Fitted with upvc windows

    Houses that have not been fitted with upvc windows can lose 60% of heat through the windows as they do not have the excellent technology that upvc windows do. This shows that people with upvc are saving a lot more money on their energy bills than those without.

    There are different kinds of houses built in different times, but unless they are protected buildings they can have the benefit of upvc windows without having to compromise the look of the house, this is because there are so many different varieties of upvc windows available. As well as this there are many modern kinds of uptick windows also available, but whatever the kind of building you have you can benefit from having uptick windows installed.
