uPVC Installation Mistakes to Avoid

If you're commissioning uPVC windows, these are the installation mistakes worth watching for.

What to watch for

You don't need to be an expert to spot the signs — a frame that isn't level, gaps that get filled rather than sealed, or a window that doesn't close smoothly on the day are all early warnings.

What to know

Look for this

  • Check frames are level and square
  • Sealing should be complete, not patched
  • Windows should operate smoothly on day one
  • Drainage holes must be clear
  • Ask about reinforcement on big frames

The practical takeaway

A competent installer welcomes these questions. If someone bristles at being asked whether the frame is square or the reinforcement is in, that itself tells you something.

Questions

Can I check the work myself?
