New uPVC window arrived today for daughter's bedroom (that's teh last of
the iron single glazed windows going).

It is 1480 wide x 880mm high.

Side fixings are no problem - I reckoned on 3-4 each side of my personal
favourite Fischer FS 8x100mm frame fixings with caps. All into solid
brick.

However - how many should I be looking to do along the top and bottom?

I've seen some forums saying "none".

I have two rather wider than that - from Screwfix - and the original
fitting instructions only mentioned side fixings. And given I have
pre-stressed concrete lintels above I'm pleased about this.
The important thing is the window should sit on a good solid level base,
and any fixings not distort it. The foam used for gap filling will hold it
solidly.

Two fixings per side were as supplied.
