HOW TO SOUNDPROOF WINDOWS IN YOUR HOME
Perfection takes time. In our case, it generally takes between 12-14 weeks from order date to final installation. Because it’s one of our most recently asked questions, the following is a simple breakdown of our process, so you can get to grips with what to expect from us.
By stocking products manufactured with the finest quality hard and softwoods, all of our soundproof windows and doors come with up to 10 years guarantee. Safeguarded against swelling and disease, they’re built just for you.
1
You contact us either via phone or email and we have a good chat.
2
After the initial talk, we provide a provisional quote with our products suggestions.
3
We will then book a survey of your property and inspection of your windows.
4
During our survey our technician will:
- Measure all windows
- Measure noise pollution
- Talk you through your options
5
A final quote will be produced, with 50% of the cost expected as a down payment.
6
Production will take place in the factory of your bespoke windows (this can take up to 10 weeks depending upon amount of orders).
7
An installation date will be decided upon what works best for you.
8
Our technicians will remove your old window frame for disposal and replace them with our windows on the same day. They will also make good.
OUR TIMELINE
The below is an example of our estimated timeline of the manufacturing process.
We hope this visual breakdown can give you more insight into our process. Actual delivery dates are subject to survey and approval date. Delays due to supply chain issues may occur.
INSTALLATION OPTIONS
Our products are top of the line, but our installation method is a cut above the rest. We have refined the whole process to be able to guarantee optimal performance of our windows and doors in every home. Below is a list of the options that we provide*.
We can of course also arrange and specify a bespoke installation that meets your individual needs, requirements.
