How Long Will It Take to Install My uPVC Door?

---

 

You may want to know how long it will take to install your uPVC door if you are looking for a replacement door. The answer depends on what kind of door you want. In general, unless you have specific, non-standard, requirements, you can expect about 10 to 21 days. However, this is the total time from ordering till installation, and it varies from style to style.

Your clock starts ticking from the time of your agreement. At this point, we try to ensure that a double glazing surveyor visits you within 48 hours. The surveyor will assess your property, make sure your measurements are correct, and plan out the installation. This is an important step as the surveyor would be able to spot any problems early on.

After this, you can expect to wait for the door to be manufactured and installed. This depends on the door style and finish.

How Long Does it Take to fit a uPVC Door?

So, how long does it take to fit a uPVC door? Once the survey is done, your door will be manufactured according to your specifications. The time for this varies according to the complication of the design. A standard front door, or French doors, can be supplied and installed in around 10 to 14 days.

Patio doors may take 14 to 21 days to be installed. Similarly, composite doors have a longer and more complex manufacturing process. However, they are simple to install so the overall time is about the same at 14 to 21 days.

The most complicated and time-consuming doors are bi-fold doors. They take longer in the manufacturing stage. When you add in the installation time, you can expect anything from 6 to 8 weeks.

Large panels of glass need to be reinforced. This is to prevent damage and injury in case someone accidentally falls against it. Reinforced glass breaks into non-lethal crystals instead of sharp shards. This way, an accidental breakage will not lead to serious injuries. If you have special glass requirements, that will add to the installation time.

For example, a conventional white door will take less time than a customised colour like Chartwell Green. Similarly, if you want door hardware with custom finish, you can expect a longer installation time.

Upgraded security fittings from Yale may also make it longer to install your uPVC door. In fact, installing a higher security door will take slightly longer than a standard security installation.

Similarly, if you want a higher energy rating, you might expect a slight addition to the installation time. Additionally, design features like lead designs on the glass lead to longer manufacturing times. Georgian bars on your uPVC door will also increase the installation time.

However, our trusted network of FENSA and CERTASS approved double glazers try to ensure a quick installation for you.
