Installation of frames in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert

Brussels Grants for Frames

In the Brussels Region, the replacement of frames is subsidized provided that a Uw coefficient ≤ 1.5 W/m²K is achieved and a licensed contractor is used. The amounts vary according to household income. We help you identify applicable grants and compile the file.

Frames and Thermal Bridges: The Importance of Sealing

A high-performance frame installed in a poorly treated reveal loses part of its thermal efficiency. The sealing between the frame and the masonry, expanding foam or compriband seal, the interior plaster reminder: these finishes determine the quality of the air tightness of the installation. A thermal bridge at the reveal (common in poorly executed installations) causes condensation on the edges of the glazing in winter. We take care of this step just like the rest of the project.

Roller Shutters and Integrated Blinds: Comfort and Energy Savings

Closing roller shutters at night reduces thermal losses from a window by 25 to 35% according to studies. In Woluwe homes without external shutters, replacing frames is an opportunity to integrate roller shutter boxes into the window reveal, often possible without additional masonry work. Motorized models with centralized or home automation control are increasingly in demand in high-end renovations. They also improve the passive security of the home.

Triple Glazing: For Whom, For What?

Triple glazing is not always necessary. For facades facing south, east, or west, high-performance double glazing offers a good balance between thermal performance and solar gain. Triple glazing is relevant for north-facing facades, rooms exposed to noisy axes, and homes aiming for low energy or passive performance levels. It is slightly heavier, which requires checking that the openings can support the additional weight.

Lifetime and Guarantees

A well-installed frame lasts 30 to 50 years depending on the material. PVC degrades little over time but may yellow with prolonged sun exposure. Anodized or painted aluminum withstands the elements very well and requires no structural maintenance. Wood lasts indefinitely if the stain or paint is regularly reapplied. Glass can be replaced independently of the frames if a pane breaks or becomes cloudy. We guarantee our installations and products according to manufacturer conditions.
