Cost to replace windows in brick house

It is no secret that the brick house, compared to the home of panel houses, is more problematic in the issue of replacing old window designs with new perfect plastic windows. If we talk about one-room apartments in brick houses, you will need to install the following plastic products:

- Plastic window with one opening and one blank sash, size 1290*1530 mm.

- Plastic window with a balcony door, a total size of 1504 * 2130 mm.

 Brick buildings are more popular with residents than panel buildings. Buildings erected with bricks are distinguished by a considerable wall thickness of at least 400-600 mm, sometimes even more, and by wide soffits and window sills. In addition, brick buildings are more comfortable and warmer. But old wooden frames can negate these advantages, letting the cold into the room.

Improving the thermal insulation of a brick building will help modern plastic windows. They perfectly retain heat and protect from dust and noise. Moreover, modern technologies allow you to produce profiles of any color and original texture. In manufacturing windows, our company uses the world's leading firms' metal and plastic profiles, guaranteeing high quality and long service life. Although plastic window fittings are used daily, they have special requirements. Therefore, we install fittings, which will ensure comfortable opening and closing for the whole service life of the construction.

Installation of plastic windows begins with measurements, the choice of profiles, insulating glass, window sills, and fittings. Also, added delivery and installation work can vary significantly in different regions. Thus, the window in the complete assembly can cost from the budget version of 77 dollars to a premium - of 800 dollars. As for the installation work, it will depend on the complexity of the design and type of house.

Several factors contribute to the installation cost, so even the same company will have different rates for installing windows. The calculation considers the house type, the need for disassembly work, and the window design. The price of the work to install plastic windows depends on the house:

• installation of one window in a wooden house - from $36;
• in a brick house - from $34; in a panel house - from $31;
• in a panel house - from $31; in a brick house - from $34; in a brick house - from $31.

Balcony blocks "turnkey" economy version will cost installation work from 60 to 82 dollars and above. Again, everything will depend on the house's construction material and the task's complexity. Sometimes, you will need to install sills for an additional $2 to $6. Prices for installation of soffits: in the range of $ 4-8 dollars. Window removal will cost $4-$7.

Many companies provide:

• Warranties on the windows for up to 50 years.
• Free removal of debris after removal and installation.
• A customer warranty service for 3-5 years.

Therefore, it is beneficial to order windows with installation from such companies.

But when choosing famous brands' products, you should check the accompanying documentation because the well-known brands are often counterfeited. 

A year or two later, when the window frames will "decorate" with mold due to improper installation, there will be gaps and draughts, and you will still need to resort to the services of professionals. However, the cost of installation of PVC windows is not so high. In any domestic region, you can find a fast firm (usually 2-3 days) and inexpensive (for $ 15) that will provide installation services without a prior order for the window itself.

Important! What to pay attention to when installing PVC windows: the slope of not more than 2 degrees, temperature conditions (installation is not allowed at temperatures below -15 0 C), the availability of waterproofing and vapor barrier on the frame, the integrity of the insulating glass unit. 

Brick is a common enough material in construction. It is used to build high-rise buildings and cottages. However, as in the case of panel houses, most often, plastic windows are preferred for glazing.

When it comes to buildings made of brick, first of all, it is necessary to highlight their differences and features. First, this material is often used to implement non-standard projects, so you must be very careful to take all measurements before starting the production of windows. Secondly, there are other not insignificant features of brick walls:

• thicker walls - wide sills and window sills slightly increase the final cost of plastic windows in a brick house;
• massive soffits;
• voids of practical brick.

The company has been working in the market for more than 20 years. Our specialists have completed hundreds of thousands of projects, implementing many non-standard solutions during this time. With us, you can order replacement windows in any brick house.

When glazing a brick building with plastic profiles, you need to consider:

• heterogeneity of masonry;
• the thickness of the walls - such houses have wider windowsills and sills;
• The massiveness of soffits;
• the hollowness of "effective" bricks.

Before ordering glazing, it is advisable to find out what the construction of the walls is, what condition they are in, and what the openings' dimensions are. Thick plaster soffits often hide their actual dimensions. To maximize the accuracy of measurements, you should remove some of the slopes.

Choose the correct width of the sills and window sills. Provide a margin. Accessories are more accessible to cut than to "increase." Install PVC, and select the profile's correct position on the masonry's depth. To avoid condensation, the plastic should not be too close to the outer surface of the building.

PVC windows in a brick house are mounted in two ways:

• in the opening - with the organization of the outer slopes, more thorough fixation of the frame;

• with a quarter - with a tighter seal due to the external projection, overlapping the outer part of the frame on 3-4 cm.

Why plastic

• Affordable price and high quality.

• Variety of design - a wide choice of profiles and finishes.

• Maximum sound and heat insulation.

• Wear resistance, easy care.

• Functionality - depends on the type of double-glazed window, profile, and fittings.
