Aluminum Window Replacement Process: What Homeowners Can Expect

t395-29

The aluminum window replacement process runs from an initial inquiry with photos, through an on-site measurement and a written specification, to factory production, finishing and professional installation. Each stage is approved by you before the next begins, so the windows are made to your exact openings.

Step 1: Sending your inquiry

The process starts with a simple inquiry. Send us photos of the existing windows, the building facade and the rooms they serve, along with a short note on what bothers you today, such as drafts, noise, condensation or a worn frame. Tell us roughly how many windows you have and which floor they are on.

This early information helps us understand whether you need a full replacement or only specific units, and it lets us prepare for the visit so the measurement day is efficient.

Step 2: On-site measurement

A technician visits your home to measure every opening. Measuring on site is essential because old openings are rarely perfectly square, and walls, sills and lintels can differ from the original plans.

Condition of the surrounding structure and sill
Access route for bringing the finished windows up or in

Step 3: Drawings and written specification

Based on the measurements, we prepare drawings showing each window, its opening type, sash layout and dimensions. You also receive a written specification listing the profile system, glazing, hardware, colour and finish.

Please read this carefully. Ask questions about opening direction, handle position and any detail that matters for your daily use. Nothing goes into production until you have approved the drawings and specification in writing.

Step 4: Approval and production in our factory

Once you approve the drawings, production begins in our workshop at Rival Street 37 in Tel Aviv. Profiles are cut, assembled and fitted with glazing and hardware under controlled conditions, which allows careful checking of each unit before it leaves the factory.

Because the windows are made to measure, changes after approval can affect the schedule, so confirming details at this stage saves time later.

Step 5: Finishing

Finishing protects the aluminum and gives it the look you chose. Depending on your specification, components may receive powder coating in the colour and texture you selected. Powder coating is durable and resists weather, which is important for windows exposed to sun, wind and salty coastal air.

Colour samples and finish options are discussed during the specification stage so there are no surprises when the windows arrive on site.

Step 6: Installation and handover

Our team installs the windows and checks that each unit opens, closes and locks smoothly, is level and plumb, and is sealed correctly to the wall. Old frames are removed carefully and the surrounding area is cleaned up before we leave.

At handover we walk through the operation of each window with you, explain how to care for the finish and seals, and answer any questions before we close the job.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the aluminum window replacement process take from start to finish?

The timeline depends on the number of windows and the current production schedule, so we confirm it once the specification is approved. Measurement and drawings are usually completed before production starts, which keeps the rest of the schedule predictable.

Do I need to be home during the measurement and installation?

For measurement, it helps if someone can show the openings and give access, but it is not always required. For installation, a responsible adult should be present to approve the final placement and go through the handover.

Can I change the design after the drawings are approved?

Changes are possible but may affect cost and schedule, so it is best to finalize everything at the drawing stage. Once production has started, adjustments become more difficult.

Will the new windows fit my existing openings exactly?

Yes, because we measure each opening on site and build the windows to those measurements rather than to standard sizes. Any irregularities in the wall are accounted for in the drawings before production.

Common mistakes to avoid

The most common mistake is measuring the windows yourself and ordering from those numbers, since old openings are rarely uniform. Approving drawings quickly without checking opening direction and handle position also leads to frustration later.

Our recommendation

Ask for an on-site measurement and go through every drawing line by line before approving, paying attention to opening type, sash layout and finish colour. Take your time at this stage, because it is the cheapest point in the process to make changes.

Summary

The aluminum window replacement process moves from inquiry and on-site measurement to approved drawings, factory production, finishing and careful installation. Approving each stage in writing keeps the result accurate and stress-free.
