Your project in the canton of Solothurn
The canton of Solothurn extends along the foot of the Jura and the Aare. The town of Solothurn, with its churches and Baroque houses, has an old town where getting around by vehicle is difficult. Olten, a railway hub, and Grenchen, shaped by watchmaking, have rental blocks and districts of family homes. Zuchwil and Biberist form a more residential suburban area, while Balsthal opens onto the Thal valley and its farms. In the north, Dornach lies within Basel's orbit. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can still be written in English. In the old town or for a change to a façade, it is essential to check with your municipality. Give the municipality, postcode and delivery access restrictions, especially if the building is in an old town.
- In Solothurn's old town, say whether access is via a pedestrian street or a courtyard.
- For a family home in Grenchen or Olten, give the year of construction and any work already carried out.
- For a farmhouse in the Thal, describe access to the building and the parts to be renovated.
Doors and windows in the canton of Solothurn
In the canton of Solothurn, the baroque old town of Solothurn leaves its mark: its limestone façades and small-paned windows require careful replacement, to be discussed in advance with the municipality. In Olten and Grenchen, apartment blocks and workers' housing linked to industry and watchmaking undergo many replacements of old windows, often managed by a property management company. At the foot of the Jura, around Balsthal, village houses and farms endure harsher winters and appreciate well-insulated timber joinery. Towards Dornach, houses close to Basel readily opt for sliding panels and a reinforced entrance.
- For a house in Solothurn's historic centre, ask for a timber window model with glazing bars bonded to the glass.
- In an apartment building, coordinate the installation date with the property management company so that every tenant is informed and at home.

Frequently asked questions
How should I choose new windows in Solothurn?
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.
