What Is Window Inspection?
The windows and aluminium inspection is an engineering visit after the aluminium windows and doors are installed, in which our engineers check the fixing of frames and glass, opening and closing, and the silicone and weep holes.
The inspection matters because window defects show up with the first dust or rain: water leaking down the wall, dust getting into the house, or a window that does not close properly. All of these affect your comfort and your air conditioning bill.
Handover of Windows and Aluminium
We inspect the windows and aluminium once at handover, after installation.
