WINDOW REPLACEMENT GEELONG

Window Replacement Geelong: new timber and aluminium windows

When a window is past repairing, we replace it. Timber windows made to measure for older homes, aluminium windows when you want less upkeep, and corner windows rebuilt to suit the house. The old one comes out, the new one goes in flashed and sealed, and the trims, cladding and paint are made good around it.

WINDOW REPLACEMENT

How we replace a window, from the opening out

The order matters: a window that is measured, flashed and finished properly lasts as long as the house.

Measuring and ordering

Every window is measured in its opening: width, height, the brick or frame depth and the reveal. The new window is ordered to those sizes, so it fits without packing it out.

Taking the old one out

We cut the old window free without damaging the brickwork, cladding or the trims we plan to keep, and cover the opening if the new window isn’t going straight in.

Fitting the new window

Set level and square, fixed into the frame, flashed at the head and sides and sealed to the wall. Then the reveal, the architraves and the outside trims go back on.

Making good

Weatherboards, cement sheet or plaster around the window repaired where needed, and new timber primed and painted to match.

WHEN TO REPLACE

When a window is worth replacing rather than repairing

The frame has rotted through

Rot in a sill or a corner can be cut out. Rot through the whole bottom of a frame usually can’t, and a new window is the better job.

It no longer fits the opening

Frames that have moved, warped or been patched too often leak and rattle however they are adjusted.

You want something different

A different style, obscure glass for a bathroom, double glazing, or aluminium in place of timber that needs painting every few years.

It is one of a matching set

We match the frame, the glass layout and the reveal to the windows beside it as closely as we can, including double-hung sash windows made to the old profile.

WINDOW QUESTIONS

Window replacement: common questions

Timber or aluminium windows?
We put in both. Timber suits older homes and weatherboards and can be painted to match; aluminium needs less upkeep and comes double glazed. We talk through what suits the house before we measure.
Who makes the windows?
New windows are made to measure by a local joinery or window maker. We measure the opening, order the window to suit, and install it ourselves.
Can you keep my existing trims and architraves?
Often, yes. We take the old window out carefully, keep the trims intact and refit them around the new frame, then fill and paint the joins.
What stops the new window leaking?
Flashings. The window is flashed at the head and sides and sealed to the brickwork or cladding, so water runs past it instead of into the wall.
Do you paint new timber windows?
Yes. Painting is done alongside our carpentry, by the same team, so the window is primed, painted and finished when we leave.
