uPVC casement windows across Lisburn
The price of uPVC windows depends mainly on size, the number of opening sashes, frame colour, glass specification and hardware. Bay windows, openings that need a tower or scaffold, and difficult removal of old frames add labour. See the guide prices for typical ranges; your written quote fixes the exact figure.
Windows are replaced room by room, so each opening is only exposed for a short spell. A single window is usually changed within a day, and a typical house takes a few days depending on the number of windows, bays and access. Inside, reveals are finished with trims, sealant or filler.
Bay windows need extra care. Some older bays carry load from the wall or roof above, so the glazier checks the support before removal and may fit bay poles or ask for structural advice. Replacing a window in the same opening is different from widening it, which needs a new lintel.
uPVC frames need washing a few times a year with warm soapy water and a drop of light oil on hinges and locking points. Drainage slots along the bottom of the outer frame let rainwater escape, so keep them clear of dirt and leaves to stop water collecting in the cill.
Included as standard
- Fitting, packing and fixing into the existing opening
- Made-to-measure frames with sealed double glazed units
- Written guarantee terms and advice on building regulations sign-off
- Sealing inside and out, with trims to make good
About Lisburn for this job

- Coast
- Lisburn sits roughly 12 km from the nearest coastline, close enough that exposure on open or high ground is worth considering. Near the coast, salt spray and wind-driven rain test seals, drainage and hardware. uPVC itself does not corrode, but stainless or coated locking parts, well-sealed joints around the frame and clear drainage slots matter, and exposed elevations may need frames with higher weather ratings.
- Daylight and sun
- In Lisburn the midwinter sun reaches about 12° above the horizon at noon, with roughly 7.0 hours of daylight, rising to about 59° and 17.0 hours in midsummer. uPVC frames are bulkier than aluminium, so they take a little more glass area from small windows. On south and west elevations, solar-control or neutral low-E glass limits overheating, while north-facing rooms benefit from high light-transmission glass and warm-edge spacers that reduce condensation.
- Access and setting
- In terraced streets and flats, old frames are usually removed and new ones fitted from inside to avoid scaffold. Parking for the van, access through communal areas, leaseholder consent and the lack of permitted development rights for flats all need checking before ordering.
- Rules in Northern Ireland
- Technical Booklet V covers safety glazing in Northern Ireland, including glass in and around doors and low-level glazing where people could walk into it.

Choosing your uPVC windows
Double or triple glazing
Low-E double glazing suits most homes; triple glazing adds a third pane for lower heat loss and quieter rooms, but units are heavier.
Georgian or astragal bars
Bars set between the panes or applied to the faces of the glass for a traditional divided-pane look.
Tilt and turn
Opens inwards from the side for cleaning or escape, or tilts from the top for secure ventilation; practical for flats and upper floors.
uPVC Windows in Lisburn: questions
How long does it take to fit uPVC windows?
Most single windows are changed within a day, and a typical house usually takes a few days. Bays, large picture windows and openings that need a tower or scaffold take longer. Manufacturing comes first, because every frame is made to the survey measurements, and the lead time is confirmed with your quote.
What guarantee comes with new uPVC windows?
Manufacturer guarantees apply to new frames, sealed units and hardware, and the terms are confirmed in writing. Guarantee terms for the installation are set out in writing with your quote, so you know what is covered and for how long before you commit. Keep this paperwork with your building regulations certificate, because buyers' solicitors usually ask for both.
How much do uPVC windows cost?
The cost of uPVC windows depends on the size and number of windows, how many sashes open, the frame colour, the glass and the access. White casements with standard double glazing sit at the lower end, while foiled colours, triple glazing and bay windows cost more. See the guide prices for typical ranges; the written quote fixes the price for your specification.
Should I choose double or triple glazing?
Well-specified double glazing with low-E glass and warm-edge spacers can meet the energy standard for replacement windows, and the certified rating confirms it. Triple glazing adds a third pane, which helps on cold, noisy or north-facing elevations, but the units are heavier and need frames designed for them. We can quote both so you can compare.
