Garden

A garden window projects outward with glazed sides and a glazed top, creating a deep shelf near daylight. It is often considered above a kitchen sink for plants or display. Shelves, venting side panels and load limits depend on the chosen system.

Before you choose

Plan for plant watering, condensation control and cleaning the top glass. The projection needs sound support and careful water management. Strong sun may overheat plants; a garden window is not a climate-controlled greenhouse.

What changes the quote

Projection depth, shelf configuration, venting panels, support and exterior flashing affect the quote.

Measurement and preparation

Photos and approximate width and height help start a conversation, but are not ordering dimensions. A site survey checks the opening at several points, squareness, frame condition, wall depth and safe access. Tell us about leaks, sticking or previous repairs before a final specification is agreed.

Installation scope

Agree whether the existing frame stays or the full assembly is removed. The written scope should explain protection of the room, removal, support and fastening, water management, insulation, interior and exterior trim, disposal and final operation checks. Hidden damage discovered during removal needs a separate agreed response.

Care after installation

Use the selected manufacturer’s cleaning and lubrication instructions. Keep seals, tracks and drainage paths clean, inspect exterior joints and check locks periodically. Avoid abrasive cleaners and blocked weep holes. Report new leaks, difficult operation or damaged seals rather than forcing the hardware.
