There’s a real mix of architectural styles when you look at UK homes, everything from classic Victorian terraces to sleek new builds, and everything in between. Naturally, that means window sizes vary too.
There’s often no single ‘standard’ size, as the dimensions often depend on the style of window, the age of the property, and its layout.
That said, there are common window sizes that give you a useful starting point, especially when you’re looking for rough pricing before getting a quote.
It’s important to remember that while typical sizes can be helpful at this stage, your installer will take exact measurements to ensure a perfect fit.
UPVC Windows
Chosen for their affordability and low maintenance, UPVC windows usually follow the following standard sizes:
- Heights: 600mm, 1050mm, 1200mm, 1350mm, 1500mm
- Widths: 488mm, 630mm, 915mm, 1200mm, 1770mm
Casement Windows
A very versatile, classic and popular choice all across the UK. Typical sizes include:
- 635 x 890mm
- 736 x 1194mm
- 736 x 1498mm
Tilt & Turn Windows
These windows are great for flexibility and easy cleaning. They generally come in:
- Single: 600 x 500mm (min), 1900 x 1300mm (max)

A Room-by-Room Window Guide
Bathroom – Windows are usually smaller to maintain privacy, often paired with frosted or textured glass.
Living Room – Often features the largest windows in the home, bringing in plenty of natural light.
Kitchen – They are typically positioned higher on the wall and shorter in height, which is ideal for providing a view above the sink.
Bedroom – A range of styles and window sizes work here, from large openings for more daylight to smaller windows for a cosy feel.
Common Window Materials & How They Influence Size
The window material you choose can also affect sizing options. Here’s what to expect:
UPVC: Generally available in standard sizes, making it a cost-effective and efficient option to install.
Timber: Usually made to measure, especially in period homes or properties with specific heritage requirements.
Aluminium: Offers strength and style, allowing for slim frames and expansive panes, ideal for modern designs and for homeowners looking to create panoramic views.
