No two homes in the UK are the same, and the same goes for their windows. From period properties to contemporary builds, window dimensions can differ significantly depending on the design, location and age of the house.
Even though there’s no universal window size, knowing the most common measurements can help you get a better idea of what to expect when planning your replacement windows, especially when it comes to pricing.
It’s worth keeping in mind that professional installers will always take exact measurements on-site to ensure a perfect, draught-free fit.

Room-by-Room Window Tips
Bathroom – Typically compact with privacy in mind, often using obscure or frosted glass.
Living Room – Expect larger windows here to flood the space with daylight.
Kitchen – Windows are usually placed higher up, often above the sink and slightly shorter.
Bedroom – Sizes and styles vary depending on the feel you want – from bright and open to more intimate.
How Materials Can Influence Window Size
The material you choose isn’t just about looks – it also impacts sizing options and flexibility.
UPVC: Comes in standard sizes, offering an easy and budget-friendly solution.
Timber: Frequently bespoke, ideal for homes where tradition and detail are key.
Aluminium: Known for strength and sleek frames, perfect for maximising glazing and creating contemporary looks.
