I finally had enough of Thai wooden windows. They are, my opinion, total shit. They leak during the rain season something terrible. So 9 years of mopping up after down pours I decided to act. I decided uPVC is/was the way forward. My missus asked a Thai guy about uPVC windows 2 years ago. 'Them no good, them leak said he. He wanted us to install aluminum. Thai aluminum windows are also shit IMO.
Anyways a few months back I did a few alterations to my outbuilding and I installed uPVC. I did it all myself. A total of 5 windows. My missus was over the moon with them. So I put me foot down and told her I was going to do the whole house.
Off to 'HomePro' and we ordered 9 windows measuring 2.4m x 1.10m. The maker was 'Hoffen'. They're just over half the price of 'Windsor' windows sold by other DIY stores. Quality was about equal. Price for the 9 windows plus 700 Baht delivery was a fraction over 50,000 Baht.
The windows are too big for me to undertake the job myself so I got a builder to help.He brought two other men and I was to be part of the team. To fit he wanted 12,000 Baht. A bargain IMO as there was no way I could do it on my own. Anyway we're 2 days into the job and 5 windows fitted. It's hard work but all's good so far.
The old windows.

One installed but snagging not been done yet.

Another window fitted. Waiting on being pointed up. To fit all 9 windows I expect job completion to be 5 days tops.
