What to Expect on Install Day: Your Timber Window Transformation

At PORTICO, we know that installing new timber windows is a big step toward upgrading your home’s beauty, comfort, and energy efficiency. Whether you’re replacing old uPVC frames or upgrading your old timber windows, it’s natural to wonder what happens on install day. To make sure you feel confident and informed, here’s a simple guide to what you can expect during your timber window installation.

1. Pre-Installation Preparation

Before the install team arrives, it’s helpful to clear the areas around the windows—both inside and outside. This gives our installers space to work safely and efficiently. We’ll communicate with you ahead of time to coordinate access and timing, so the day runs smoothly.

2. Arrival and Introduction

Our experienced installation team will arrive promptly and introduce themselves. We take pride not only in our craftsmanship but also in professionalism and respect for your home.

3. Careful Removal of Old Windows

The first step on install day is carefully removing your old windows or frames. This is done with precision to avoid damaging your walls or surrounding areas. Our team uses specialized tools and techniques to ensure everything is prepped perfectly for the new timber frames.

4. Preparing the Opening

Once the old window is out, we inspect the opening to ensure it’s clean and structurally sound. Any repairs or adjustments will be made at this stage. Proper preparation is key to a perfect fit and long-lasting installation.

5. Installing Your New Timber Windows

Now for the exciting part! Your handcrafted timber windows will be fitted with precision, using modern insulation techniques to maximize energy efficiency and durability. We take extra care with every joint, seal, and finish to maintain the natural beauty of the wood while ensuring your windows perform flawlessly.

6. Final Checks and Clean-Up

After installation, our team performs a thorough inspection and functional test—checking that windows open, close, and lock smoothly. We’ll clean the work area and remove any debris, leaving your home neat and tidy.

7. Post-Installation Care & Advice

We don’t just install your windows and leave you to it. You’ll receive personalized advice on caring for your timber windows—how to maintain their finish, when to schedule inspections, and tips for keeping them looking and performing their best for years to come.

What Makes Timber Windows Special?

Installing timber windows is not just a home upgrade—it’s an investment in warmth, character, and sustainability. Timber naturally insulates better than plastic alternatives, adding to your home’s comfort and lowering energy bills. Plus, each window is a unique piece of craftsmanship that brings natural beauty and charm that lasts a lifetime.
