Best install upvc video on youtube well done

Hey Craig. Perfect timing that I've come across this video as I'm doing a fitting in a day or two. As always after viewing your video it'll make it much easier. Top videos, top DIY bloke. Thanks

Craig, I've been watching uPVC fitting videos since 2018 as have done this myself now and again but always need a refresher, your video is by far the best one.

I've just got a job as a trainee window fitter and I'm watching lots of these types of videos to get me ready to start in 2 weeks. :)

Good video. I have a house that's going to be demolished in approx 10 yrs time but it only has single glazing at the moment. I'm hunting down free discarded upvc windows to fit myself and this has been very helpful. Thanks!

Good video but the cill and frame should also have a bond between the frame and upstanding lip of the cill to prevent water Ingres from any driving rain 👌🏻

Finally someone did a good job explaining all the steps, thanks man, youve saved me a few hundred pounds not hiring a guy that would rip me off to do that in 30 minutes

Hi Craig very good video however, just a few things you don't toe and heal a sash with it open!! plus it wasn't packed currently
When fixing the frame to the substrate you need to use packers adjacent to the fixings to stop twisting of the frame.
You only need to fix up/down on windows or doors over 1201 foam is sufficient.
Also the fixings guild is 150mm to 250mm on upvc and 600mm Centres.
Please don't think I'm having a go it's just videos like these need to be better.

Eurocell should have given you all the current information.

Thank you so much for this. Please why are "Brown coloured" windows more expensive. Where can I buy upvc ones? Thanks

[johncrawford]

Great video, just wondering how windows should be measured and fitted to a building with an external (pebbledash) render? thanks.

Great lesson for bignner, thanks for video.

[bradleysaunders]

Very helpful. But you made drilling the fittings look a piece of cake. Did you pilot hole the brick work too before putting the window in place? I ended up using those nylon window anchors which I didn't really rate

[DanielPaprocki]

Thanks for this easy to follow instructions 😊👍🏻
Do you know what are current thermal requirements for loft conversion windows? 🤔

[traceyhills]

Hi Craig, great video xx i just wondered if you would ever us expanding foam tape (compriband) rather than spray foam?

[lizireland-skies]

Great video and information, many thanks!

[BSmith]

I have 2 windows to fit and was wondering how best to secure them to the brickwork. I see there are hammer type fixings which I assume you drill a hole for, hammer in and then finish off with a screwdriver. You covered every part of the install except this bit

[psisky]

If you're doing this in an old house could the bricks split when you put the screws in?
