I’m interested to know how you all “count” windows. On a number of occasions customers have said how many windows they have (i dont ask as i price in person via viewing, but in their mind its to help me gauge size of the house i guess ?)
e.g. front of semis with bay windows, there are often 4 or 5 windows on the bay, now to some customers that classes as “a window” to me it classes as 5 windows (you’d have to move the ladder & get up & down it 5 times, you also have to shuffle your feet and wfp 5 times) same at the bottom, one bay but 5 windows.
so theres 10 straight away before the front door or single window at the top above the door. It crazes me to think people class bay windows as one window.
As for a 4 pane unit e.g. 2 top openers and two larger bottom panes i just class that as one large window.
Some people would say if it has a pane, surrounded by a frame, its a window.
still. It doesn’t really matter as in my mind i’ll price what a jobs worth...but just generally interested, as i do scratch my head when people say they’ve got 12 windows, you show up and there’s more like 25 ? cheers.
- my general assumption would be is each individually fitted unit is a window?
