IvorBiggun2 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Go to Homepro and buy their uPVC windows. Take your time and fit them yourself. No problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansombeast Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Unfortunately this is a stairwell window and definitely not a standard size. It would have to be made to size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they would be already assembled and ready to fit??? If the OP,s house was a self build, he would likely need windows made to measure.

If the new window is bigger than the old one you chase out the masonry to accommodate it. If the new window is smaller than the old window you will have to infill the gaps. It's not rocket science. More like common sense. I replaced 9 windows in all and a new double sliding door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I got a guy to come round and do some made to measure. That way I get the windows the size that I want and I'm not restricted by the size of pre made ones.

IvorBiggun2 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 3 minutes ago, youreavinalaff said: I believe they are in the region of 320 cms wide At that size you'd be really struggling due to the weight of the frames etc. Just to lift and fit a 240x110 would take 3 men or more just to lift it off the ground. Look at the size again Having done it myself I don't believe you have windows as big as 320cm. The sheer weight of the frame would cause distortion on fitting.

hansombeast Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Thankx for the replies guys, however I am unable to work from ladders or scaffolding and I have no way of lifting the window into place as it's 6 ft from the middle landing inside the house The window size long ways is approx 8ft X 4.5 ft. From the outside you would need scaffolding at 5 metres. And at least 3 mtrs inside. That's why my original question was about window makers not a lecture on window fitting Edited September 4, 2022 by hansombeast additional information 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do it yourself or did you need help? @hansombeastI'm not that well up with KK. However, I guess it's like most other towns and there will be an area where fabricators work. I found our window guy in amongst the guys doing stainless steel gates and fences. They usually all work together. Have a drive around. You'll not miss them as their workshops usually spill over to the pavements outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in below post you just explained why you NOT should get your uPVC windows from Homepro or the likes, since they are cheap <deleted>. Quality uPVC windows have a steel frame inserted, so they don't distort by the weight of the frame. My biggest uPVC sliding door is 5 meters by 2.45 meter high.

Another sheet size produced is the 3210 x 5100 (Jumbo). These are both, a single float glass and come as laminated sheets Thailand are a major manufacturer/exporter of glass for the export market to the Southern Hemisphere. Production is in Bangkok, Contact the Manufacturer and work backward from their recommendations to find if all is viable.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
