Your project in the canton of Neuchâtel
The canton of Neuchâtel rises in tiers from the lake to the high plateaus of the Jura. On the lakeshore, the city of Neuchâtel is marked by the yellow stone of its old buildings and its sloping streets, while Boudry and Cortaillod are surrounded by vineyards and residential districts. In the mountains, La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle, watchmaking towns laid out on a grid plan, are lined with large old apartment buildings at an altitude where winter is long. The Val-de-Travers, around Fleurier, and the Val-de-Ruz offer a more rural setting of farmhouses and village houses. Building conditions vary greatly between lakeside and heights. For a façade in an old town or an extension, check with your municipality whether approval is needed. State the municipality, postcode and site access, especially if outdoor work is planned during winter.
- For an old building in La Chaux-de-Fonds or Le Locle, give the floor and describe access via the stairwell.
- On the lakeshore, for a house on a slope, describe the steps or paths leading to the entrance.
- In the mountains, plan outdoor work outside the snow season and say so in your request.
Doors and windows in the canton of Neuchâtel
The canton of Neuchâtel combines the lakeshore and the mountains, two quite distinct climates. In Neuchâtel, the old-town buildings in yellow Hauterive stone retain elegant timber windows that should be replaced with care, asking the municipality for its opinion beforehand. In La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle, the watchmakers' buildings laid out on a grid have numerous large windows, valuable for light but exposed to the harsh cold of the altitude. Their renovation seeks a balance between insulation and respect for the architecture. By the lake, in Boudry or Cortaillod, recent villas appreciate sliding patio doors opening onto the garden and the view.
- In a watchmakers' building in La Chaux-de-Fonds, ask for slim-framed triple glazing to preserve the brightness of the large windows.
- For a house on the lakeshore, choose corrosion-resistant fittings if the windows are exposed to the lake winds.

Frequently asked questions
How should I choose new windows in Neuchâtel?
Compare frame materials such as wood, plastic, aluminium or wood-aluminium, depending on appearance and maintenance. Look at the glazing, the thermal and acoustic performance and the security features. Ask the installer how the old frames will be removed and the new ones sealed.
Can new glazing be fitted while retaining the existing frame?
The frame's condition, dimensions and hardware determine whether this is practical. Explain the problem and provide photographs of the complete opening. Ask for an inspection of seals and surrounding construction; changing the glass alone will not address every source of draughts or moisture.
What should I compare in doors and windows quotes?
Compare frame and glass specifications, opening functions, removal and installation. Check sealing, internal and external making good, and work on blinds or shutters. Ensure performance claims relate to the specified assembly and ask what documentation and maintenance information will be provided.
How should I prepare for the doors and windows visit or work?
Photograph the opening inside and outside from safe positions. Note furniture, blinds and access restrictions that affect fitting. Agree final measurements and frame colour before manufacture, and discuss how rooms will be protected while the old openings are removed.
