Window Replacement in South City 1 & 2, Gurgaon
In South City's original houses, window work means taking out rusted steel or early aluminium frames and fitting uPVC or aluminium, plus slide-and-fold doors to the lawn and mesh throughout. Everything is measured and quoted after a ₹99 site visit.
Window replacement in South City, Gurgaon, usually means removing something old. The original houses of South City 1 in Sector 41 and South City 2 off Sohna Road were built with steel windows or the early, thin aluminium sections of their day. Steel rusts at the sill and stops closing; old aluminium wears its rollers and leaves gaps that let in dust, heat and mosquitoes. Owners renovating these houses in this part of Gurugram replace them, often room by room.
What comes out, and what goes in
Taking out a steel frame is messy: it is usually grouted into the wall, so the plaster around it is cut back and made good afterwards. Plan window replacement before painting, not after. The new frame is fixed into the opening and sealed on both sides.

Sliding or casement?
Sliders are compact and familiar, but they always leave a small gap at the interlock. Casement windows, hinged at the side, close against a gasket and seal tighter, which matters for a bedroom on a busy road. Casements need room to swing outward, which is where grills come in. Our sliding vs casement windows guide explains the trade-off; casement window not closing covers the usual faults.
Grills and windows together
Many South City houses keep grills for security. A new window has to fit inside or behind the grill, open fully and still be cleaned. If a casement opens outward, the grill must sit far enough out to let it swing. Measuring both at once avoids a window that cannot open.
Opening up to the garden
Generous plots mean many houses have a lawn or a large terrace beside the living room. A slide-and-fold door replaces a wall of old windows with panels that stack to one side, opening the room completely in winter and closing tight in summer. The threshold detail and drainage matter here, because rain blows straight at a garden-facing door.
Before booking
- List each room and how the windows open now.
- Note where rain comes in; see window leaking rain water for common causes.
- Decide which grills stay, which go and which are replaced.
- Plan the work before painting, since removal disturbs the plaster.
The ₹99 visit, usually within 24 to 48 hours, measures every opening, because old openings are rarely square. The written quote follows within about 2 hours, valid for 3 days, and fabrication starts on the 50% advance.

Common questions
Can old steel windows be replaced without breaking the wall?
The wall is not broken, but the plaster around the steel frame is usually cut back to free it, because steel frames were grouted in. The new frame is fixed and sealed, and the plaster is made good. That is why window replacement should come before painting.
uPVC or aluminium for an old South City house?
uPVC for bedrooms where sealing and quiet matter; aluminium for large living-room openings where slimmer frames look better. Many houses use both. The uPVC vs aluminium guide compares them, and both are quoted after the site visit once each opening is measured.
Lawn ki taraf poori deewar khulne wala door lag sakta hai?
Yes, a slide-and-fold door does that. Its glass panels fold and stack to one side, opening the room fully onto the lawn. It needs a sound lintel above and a threshold that drains rainwater. It is quoted after the site visit.
How much do new windows cost for a South City house?
Windows have no fixed published rate. The number and size of openings, uPVC or aluminium, the glass type, mesh and any grill changes all affect the price. After the ₹99 site visit you get a written, all-inclusive quote, valid for 3 days.
