FAQs

How long does it take professionals to install a window?

Once the windows and doors have been manufactured and delivered, the installation process goes pretty quickly. On average, it would take about 45 minutes to install a window in New Zealand.

How long do custom windows take?

Custom windows take longer to manufacture as they have specific requirements, materials and functions that set them apart from the standard produced items. Generally, it can take between four to 15 weeks to complete the project from the moment you hire a window specialist.

What time of year is best to replace windows?

Window and door installations are best planned for a time of year when there is little wind and rain. As such, late spring or early summer is usually the best time of year in New Zealand for these installations.

How long does door installation take?

When installing an exterior door, it can take anywhere from four to six hours, depending on if you have to remove the old one. Interior doors do not require the same steps, so the installation typically goes much faster.

Do interior doors need a header?

Door headers aren’t required on interior doors unless the door is located on a load-bearing wall. Headers offer structural support to doorways and should be at least two times the width of the door frame.
