Windows Installation

A window is only as good as the way it sits in the wall. Even an expensive frame will stick, whistle or let rainwater creep in if the opening is out of square, the fixings are wrong or the gap around the frame is simply stuffed with foam and left exposed. That is why the installation itself deserves as much attention as the product you choose.

This service is for fitting windows into new or newly formed openings: a house under construction, an extension, a converted garage, a room where a wall has been opened up, or a renovation where the old openings have already been cleared. Through FixNow you can describe your project, share drawings or photos, and receive offers from local installers who handle this kind of work across Cyprus, from Strovolos to Paphos.

What a professional window installation covers

• Site measurement: checking each opening for width, height, diagonals and plumb, so frames are ordered to the right size with proper fitting tolerances.
• Product guidance: help comparing thermally broken aluminium, uPVC and timber frames, plus glazing options such as double glazing with low-emissivity glass.
• Fixing and levelling: setting each frame on packers, fixing it securely into concrete or block, and checking that sashes open, close and lock without force.
• Weatherproofing: insulating the gap between frame and wall, then sealing inside and out with a sealant suited to strong sun and movement.
• Hardware set-up: fitting handles, adjusting hinges or rollers, and checking drainage slots on the outer frame are clear.
• Tidy finish: trims or reveals finished as agreed, protective film removed when appropriate, and packaging taken away.

Choosing frames and glass for a Cyprus home

Summers here are long and fierce, so the priority for most homes is keeping heat out rather than keeping it in. Aluminium frames with a thermal break and double-glazed units with solar-control or low-e glass make a noticeable difference on south and west elevations. uPVC performs well thermally and suits many homes inland; near the coast in Larnaca or Ayia Napa, ask installers how their chosen profiles and hardware cope with salty air.

Think too about how each window will be used. Sliding windows save space on balconies and terraces, tilt-and-turn windows give secure ventilation in bedrooms, and fixed panes can bring in light where no opening is needed. If you plan roller shutters or mosquito nets, mention it now so the frames and openings are planned around them.

What shapes the price of new windows

• Number and size of openings: large sliding doors and floor-to-ceiling glazing need more material and more hands to lift.
• Frame and glass specification: thermal breaks, triple seals, laminated or toughened glass all change the cost.
• Access: upper floors may need scaffolding or a lift, which should be handled by the installer's team.
• Finishing work: plastering, trims and sills can be included or quoted separately.
