uPVC and Aluminium Windows in Arun Vihar, Sector 37, Noida

Arun Vihar, the Army Welfare Housing Organisation colony that makes up Sector 37, was built to a common design, and its homes have aged together. The windows fitted with the original construction are now the part owners most often want to change: frames that no longer close tight, sashes that stick on worn rollers, single glass that lets in dust and the sound of traffic heading for Botanical Garden metro and the Sector 37 bus terminal. Because the colony is run by a resident welfare association, replacing them also means keeping the outside looking consistent.

uPVC or aluminium for an Arun Vihar home?

Both are made to the measured opening and fitted after the old frame is removed. The choice comes down to what bothers you most about the current windows:

The longer comparison is in uPVC vs aluminium windows, and soundproof windows in Delhi NCR explains what actually reduces traffic noise: mostly the seal and the glass, not the frame material alone.

What does the RWA usually ask for?

Planned colonies commonly agree an external standard so that rows of homes stay uniform: a frame colour, sometimes a grill pattern, sometimes rules about projecting anything beyond the wall line. Ask the association what applies before the visit, so the quote is for windows that will be approved. Inside the home, the choice of sliding or casement, glass type and mesh is yours.

• Confirm the approved frame colour, usually white or a standard shade.
• Check whether existing grills must stay; new windows are normally fitted behind a sound grill.
• Arrange gate entry for the team and the delivery vehicle in advance.
• Plan noisy work for daytime hours, since homes share walls and lanes.

What happens on installation day?

1. Each old frame is cut out carefully, keeping damage to the plaster around it small.
2. The opening is cleaned and made good where needed, so the new frame sits square.
3. The new frame is fixed, packed and sealed on both sides, and the sashes are hung and adjusted.
4. Mesh shutters, if ordered, are fitted on the same day.

The opening usually needs a little plaster or paint touch-up afterwards, which is worth knowing before you book a painter. Windows have no fixed rate; the free, all-inclusive written quote after the visit states the price and timeline, and fabrication starts on a 50% advance with the balance due on completion.

Mesh, glass and small fixes

Most owners replacing windows also add mosquito mesh; the types are compared in mosquito mesh types. Where only one pane has cracked, a plain glass replacement may be all you need. If the frames are sound but the windows are just hard to move, sliding window hard to slide and window gap letting in dust and noise explain whether a repair will do before you replace everything.
