Private House Aluminum Window Installation Timeline Explained

Phase 1: Inquiry and On-Site Measurement

The process starts when you send us photos of the existing openings and a short description of what you want to change. Windows are always measured on site, because the openings in older houses rarely match the plans exactly. Our team checks the frame depth, the sill height, the wall condition and how the shutters or blinds are fitted.

Measuring is usually completed in a single visit. Ask us to note any cracks, damp areas or old frames that need attention, since these can affect the schedule.

Phase 2: Drawing, Specification and Your Approval

After measurement we prepare a drawing and a written specification that lists each window, its size, opening type, glass and colour. This is the document you approve before production starts. Taking time to review it carefully prevents delays later, because any change after production begins affects the timeline.

• Check every window size and opening direction
• Confirm glass type and colour finish
• Agree on the installation dates in advance

Phase 3: Production in the Factory

Once you approve the specification, the windows are cut, assembled and finished in our factory at 37 Rival Street, Tel Aviv. Production is made to measure, so the frames are built for your exact openings rather than taken from stock. This is the phase in which most of the waiting happens, and it is why the approval step matters so much.

We will tell you when production is scheduled and when the windows are ready for delivery.

Phase 4: Installation Day by Day

Installation is normally carried out in stages rather than all at once, so that the house stays usable. A typical house has several windows, and each one is removed, the opening is prepared, and the new frame is fixed and sealed. Work is done room by room, which means you may be without one window for part of a day but not the whole house.

Plan for dust and noise, and move furniture and curtains away from the openings beforehand. Ask your installer how many windows they expect to complete each day.

Realistic Disruption and How to Reduce It

Disruption is the main concern for most homeowners. The biggest factors are the number of windows, whether plaster or wall repairs are needed around the frames, and whether any old frames must be broken out. Choosing a time when you are home less often, or arranging temporary cover for openings overnight, makes the work easier.

• Clear the area around each window before the team arrives
• Keep a plan for security and weather overnight
• Plan painting or finishing work after installation is complete

Final Checks and Handover

When the last window is fitted, we check that each frame opens, closes and locks correctly, and that the seals are in place. We also look at the finish and ask you to walk through the house with us. Any small adjustments are noted and dealt with before the job is closed.

If you have questions about a specific opening, raise them at handover so they can be resolved while the team is still on site.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to replace aluminum windows in a private house?

The timeline depends on the number of windows, the finish you choose and how quickly you approve the drawing. We confirm the schedule in writing after on-site measurement, once the scope is clear.

Do I have to move out during the installation?

In most cases no, because installation is done window by window and room by room. Some disruption from dust and noise is normal, and we plan the work to keep it manageable.

Why does the approval step affect the timeline?

Windows are made to measure in our factory, so production begins only after you approve the written specification. Changes made after production starts can delay delivery.

Can the work be done on the existing openings without major wall work?

Often yes, but older openings sometimes need repair around the frame. We identify this during measurement so you know in advance whether extra work will be needed.

Common mistakes to avoid

The most common delay comes from changing window sizes or finishes after production has started. Skipping the on-site measurement and relying only on old plans also causes problems at installation.

Our recommendation

Approve the written drawing carefully, check every window size and opening direction, and ask for the installation sequence in writing before you agree to the schedule.

Summary

Replacing aluminum windows in a private house follows a clear sequence of measurement, approval, factory production and staged installation. Planning around this sequence keeps the timeline and daily disruption under control.
