Apartments change hands for over a million pounds on a usual basis. There are also huge numbers of tower blocks that sprung up during the late 20th century, some of which now assist as reminders of design trends of the past.
All of these buildings need to be regularly maintained, both to improve their appearance and to maintain good safety standards. Fortunately, Spiker Windows are professionals in installing brand new uPVC windows in high-rise apartments.
The Process
Installing windows is commonly seen as an activity that takes place from the outside, but this practice is slowly changing. Obviously, there should be clear safety issues to take into account if you’re working outside the window opening – and there’s the problem of getting fitters up to get the windows in place. For many reasons, including security concerns, windows now tend to be fitted from the inside anyway.
In an apartment blocks, working inside allows us to work relatively freely, and avoid lifting glass outside the walls of the apartment where it would certainly cause serious injury if dropped.
On some floors, our fitters can use platforms to get a good view from the outside too. This is not essential with some frames, but it can be important when your working with timber. If your apartment is located within 3-4 stories of the ground, then this is something to consider if you want the real wood finish. Remember that the cost of erecting scaffolding can add a convincing sum to the price, so wood-grain foil on uPVC may be a cost-effective alternative.
Even though your windows will be over high up, we will still fit high quality locks. Many apartment windows can be reached with a ladder, and locks are essential in keeping vulnerable adults and children safe.
The Preparation
New windows always require planning permission in apartment or flats blocks, unless you have purchased an exact match for the original windows. That’s why it’s important to work nearly with your supplier to ensure you’re compliant with the rules.
Never attempt to fit a window by yourself, or measure your own windows from the outside. Climbing ladders is dangerous enough without the weight of a window to carry, or the complexity of trying to hold a tape measure while balancing precariously on the top step.
