Mirdif Family villa 3 weeks Representative scope

The challenge

  • Sashes dragging on every window across the villa
  • Dust ingress through hardened gaskets on the sun-facing elevation
  • Tracks worn through and taking no replaceable insert
  • Family living in the property throughout the works

FixUp Fab solution

  • Honest assessment: rollers alone would not fix worn-through tracks
  • Thermally broken profile with deeper, drained tracks
  • Double glazing with a low-emissivity coating on sun-facing elevations
  • Single glazing retained where openings are permanently shaded
  • Room-by-room phasing so no room was open overnight

Scope of work

Full window survey Repair-versus-replace assessment Thermally broken system fabrication Phased room-by-room installation Making good and disposal

Results

  • Windows that run freely with tracks that clear sand instead of holding it
  • Noticeably reduced solar heat gain on the sun-facing elevation
  • Glazing spend concentrated where it actually pays back
  • No room left open overnight during a phased installation
