Below we have listed three questions that should be considered key questions, if you are considering installing uPVC windows.  We will give you the questions and will then offer some analysis on the correct answer.

1.    Why do I want to install DIY uPVC windows?

a)    Because I am bored
b)    Because It sounds easy.
c)    Because I can save a considerable amount of money.

The correct answer is C.  If you have some knowledge of home improvement work or construction, then you should be able to purchase uPVC windows from a supplier and install them yourself.  If you install them properly then you will be saving a lot of money.  However, if you do not carry out the work to a good standard and end up having to get in someone to finish the job or to repair your work, then it could end up costing you more in the long run.

2.    Before I start to DIY uPVC windows I should?

a)    Have a cup of tea.
b)    Plan the project properly
c)    Have a good nights sleep.

While C is not a bad idea, answer B is the best answer.  Make sure that you have a good idea of what the project entails and that you are going the right way about it.  For example, make sure that you either have planning permission to change your windows before you commence work, or have received confirmation for your local planning department that you do not need planning permission to change your windows.

3.    When installing DIY uPVC windows I should use my computer to?

a)    Book a holiday for when I am finished.
b)    Do plenty of online research into all aspects of uPVC windows.
c)    Play solitaire

Here answer B is the best answer, but again answer A is not bad.  Look into the types and style of uPVC windows you want and look up sites such as http://upvcwindowsguide.com in order to get information on all aspects of uPVC windows.  Make sure the windows you choose have a high ‘R-value’ which will mean they have a high resistance to heat loss.  Communicate with suppliers online in order to get installation tips and above all be confident before you start to DIY uPVC windows.  If you are having any doubts, get a window installer.
