Your role

What does a Window Fitter do?

As a Window Fitter (kozijnmonteur) in the Netherlands, you are essential to both new-build construction and the national energy transition — installing high-performance frames that keep homes secure and insulated.

cnc-role-photo

Site preparation & measuring

Analyse technical drawings and work orders to outline installation details. Measure window openings accurately to guarantee a perfect fit for new frames.

Frame installation

Install PVC, aluminium, or timber windows following manufacturer guidelines and NEN quality standards. Ensure all frames are perfectly level, plumb, and securely fixed.

Insulation & weatherproofing

Apply moisture-proofing compounds, rubber seals, and flashing around installed frames. Ensure proper insulation to improve energy efficiency and prevent water infiltration.

Renovation & removal

Carefully remove old window frames during renovation projects without damaging the surrounding masonry. Clear debris and make necessary repairs to the opening before installation.

Quality control & adjustment

Conduct final inspections of installed windows to verify proper operation, fit, and finish. Adjust hinges, locks, and window-raising mechanisms to ensure smooth functionality.

Team collaboration & safety

Work effectively in pairs or alongside other tradespeople like carpenters and bricklayers. Adhere strictly to site safety protocols and maintain a clean, organised work area.
