How to measure a replacement window?
The measurement is taken from the external opening of the building (brick or cladding opening).
If measuring for timber to timber replacement, existing window size should work, less 10mm to height and width (this allows for any structural movement and ease of install).
When going from timber to Aluminium, if the new Aluminium window is having reveals, you will need to deduct 50mm from the height and width (this is to allow for the 20mm reveal surround and clearance for easy install) additional to the new Aluminium window you will require angled trims to cover the gap created from the edge of the aluminium and the reveals. Always consult with a professional before submitting finalised sizes.
What is a timber reveal?
The Reveal is a timber surround fitted to the fin of the window or door and used for installing the product into timber framing.
The reveal becomes the frame of your window or door covering the stud.
The architrave attaches to the reveal to cover the gap between the reveal and the plasterboard (or internal lining)

What is the lead time on custom made Windows?

What is the difference between Single-glazed and Double-glazed glass?
Single-glazed windows consist of one pane of glass. The glass is usually between 4-10 mm thick, but because there is only one layer of glass between the inside and the outside of your home, heat can transfer through the glass. Single-glazed windows do tend to be cheaper, however they are not as energy efficient as Double Glazed.
Double-glazed windows are constructed with 2 panes of glass and either air or argon gas is between the two layers. This acts as an insulator, so that heat can’t escape and the cold from outside can’t come in. Because of this, these windows are thought to be around 80% more efficient than single glazed windows.
I have an energy report, can you meet these requirements?
Depending on your energy rating requirements if our stock does not comply we can certainly custom make to meet the energy value you need.
