Across the UK, homes come in all shapes and sizes, so there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to replacement windows. Window dimensions often vary depending on the type, style and age of the property.
That’s why professional installation is so important. Fitters will take precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit in your openings. Draughts and leaks can occur otherwise.
Let’s explore some of the most common window sizes in the UK, so you can get an idea of what size windows you’ll need. It’s often useful for getting accurate quotes.

Room-by-Room Window Guidance
Bathroom – Windows are typically smaller, prioritising privacy with frosted or obscure glazing.
Living Room – Often home to the largest windows, welcoming natural light in spades.
Kitchen – Windows are usually placed higher and they are shorter in length, often above the sink.
Bedroom – Windows in bedrooms can vary greatly, from wide openings for an expanse of light to smaller, cosier windows designs.
