What are windows projects?
Window replacement involves choosing frame materials such as uPVC, timber, aluminium or a combination, the glazing type (double or triple glazing with different coatings) and the opening style. Good installation is as important as the product: the window must be fitted square, sealed and insulated properly, and the reveals and plaster finished to keep draughts and damp out.

FAQ
Windows projects – questions & answers
When should I replace windows?
Consider replacing windows if the frames are rotting, the glass is misted between panes, draughts are noticeable or the windows are hard to open or close. A window fitter can check the condition and advise.
What is the difference between double and triple glazing?
Triple glazing has three panes instead of two, which gives better insulation and sound reduction. It is heavier, so the frame and fitting need to be suitable for the extra weight.
Do new windows need planning permission?
Usually not for like-for-like replacements in ordinary homes, but changes to size, style or colour in listed buildings or conservation areas can need approval. Check with your local authority.
Should I replace all windows at once?
Not necessarily. Many people replace windows in stages, starting with the most draughty or damaged ones. A fitter can recommend an order that fits your budget and keeps the look consistent.
Can I visualise new windows with AI?
Yes. CraftMe's AI room ideas let you upload a photo of your room and try window frames and colours. Use the preview as a guide, then have a window fitter take exact measurements on site.
