Sectors 56 & 57 · Aluminium & uPVC Windows and Doors
How a Window Replacement Runs in a Sector 56 or 57 Flat, Gurgaon
In a Sector 56 or 57 flat, an old aluminium window is unscrewed and cut out, the opening checked and the sill re-sloped, and the new frame fixed, packed and sealed, with the work planned room by room so that, wherever the opening allows, no room is left open overnight. Windows and doors are quoted after a ₹99 site visit.
The group-housing flats of Sectors 56 and 57 were mostly fitted with aluminium sliding windows and balcony doors when they were built in the 2000s. Many of those frames are still straight; what has gone is everything around them, the rollers, the brush seals and the sealant between frame and wall. When a replacement is the right call, owners in this corner of Gurugram mostly want to know one thing: how disruptive will it be? This page walks through the job as it usually runs.
Day zero: deciding which openings to replace
Not every window in a flat needs to go. The visit checks each one, and the quote separates replacements from repairs where a repair will do. As a rough guide:
| Opening | Usual answer in a 2000s flat | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom window with sound frame, worn rollers | Repair rollers and seals | Quoted from a WhatsApp video |
| Bedroom window with bent or corroded frame | New aluminium sliding window or uPVC window | Quoted after visit |
| Balcony door that jumps its track | New aluminium sliding door | Quoted after visit |
| Any opening without insect screening | Add mosquito mesh | Quoted after visit |
On the day, one room at a time
- Furniture is moved back and the floor covered; dust sheets go over beds.
- The old shutters are lifted out and the frame unscrewed or cut free from the wall.
- The opening is cleaned, the sill checked, and any broken plaster at the edges patched.
- The new frame is set, packed level and fixed, and the gap between frame and wall sealed inside and out.
- Shutters, locks and mesh go in, and the room is closed before moving to the next one.
Doing it room by room means the flat is never open to the weather, and a family can carry on living in it.
Balcony doors need a proper sill
The old balcony slider usually sits on a sill only a little above the balcony floor. In heavy rain, water on the balcony backs up through the track; see balcony door leaking. A new door is set on a track with weep holes to let water out, and where the sill is too low the step is built up slightly. The frame itself, made from extruded aluminium sections, is chosen heavy enough for a door that is opened many times a day.
Mesh that gets used
Monsoon mosquitoes make mesh a priority in these sectors. A pleated mosquito mesh folds aside on balcony doors; a sliding mesh shutter suits windows. A mesh door that will not stay shut is usually a magnet or track issue; see mesh door not closing.
Booking it
The ₹99 site visit is adjusted against the bill and is usually arranged within 24 to 48 hours. Every opening is measured, and the written quote, valid for 3 days, comes within about two hours. Production starts after the 50% advance. Many blocks here have small lifts or only stairs, so long frames are carried up by hand, and work runs within the society's permitted hours.
The Sectors 56 and 57 page covers the neighbourhood; see aluminium and uPVC windows in Gurgaon and the windows and doors catalogue. If dust and noise come in round closed windows, see window gap dust and noise. Newer towers on Golf Course Extension Road have very different windows.
Common questions
How long does it take to replace the windows of a 3BHK in Sector 56?
Fitting usually goes at about a room or two a day, depending on the number and size of openings and how the old frames come out. Frames are made to size after the 50% advance, so there is production time before fitting. The schedule is set out in the written quote.
Will the flat be left open overnight during the replacement?
No. Each opening is taken out and the new frame fitted, sealed and closed before the team moves to the next room. That way no room is left open to rain or security risks at the end of the day.
Can only the balcony door be replaced and the windows repaired?
Yes, and that is often the sensible mix. Sound window frames can get new rollers, seals or locks, quoted from a WhatsApp video, while a door that jumps its track is replaced. One visit can measure the door and list the repairs together.
Society wale kaunsa colour allow karte hain?
That varies by society. Most want new frames to match the building's existing outside colour, often white, silver or a shade of brown. Ask the society office before ordering, and tell us at the visit so the frames are made in the approved colour.
