UPVC ones always stood expensive, with the basic models (no grills) - 50% higher. The new models with grills cost even much higher. I am sure everyones agrees that windows with grills are a necessity on the security point of view.

I got UPVC windows, they are expensive compared to wood windows. But they do look really nice and I hope they last long too. Another benefit is they are better insulated and lower maintenance (no need to paint regularly etc.)

Hi blrsiteseeker,

Pls let me know, from where you purchased UPVC windows?
how much it cost you for 3 & 2 track window with grill cost you?

Thanks,

Hi All,
Can some one share the contact of Carpenter -who can fix the window shutters.

Earlier guy who had done the window work absconded.

As this is bit urgent appreciate early response from the team.

unfortunate , I am assuming wooden shutters , window fixing is actually the main and difficult work it can comprise almost 80% of the total labour of shutter work, depending on what state of window shutters are. U will see how easily one can show the shutters on ground and abscond by taking full money and giving a picture that the shutter fixing is a small task.

a) just the shutters is done , only wood work, without hinge fixing and glass fixing ( 20% of labour)
b) glass is fixed .
c) setting is done and hinge is fixed, windows are marked( ie which window goes where).
d) high wire act of finally fixing the finished windows , with some final adjustments .
e) the windows marking is wrong or the marking is not understood by a different carpenter. (complication)
f) final fittings of handles and gate hooks and other accessories.

b to f can cost almost 80% of the shutter labour and if there is a complication ...?, what stage is ur shutters ? what did you pay ur carpenter psft?
