Acoustic Windows and Doors Measuring Your Window

The most important part of the installation procedure for double glazed windows and doors, comes before you even order your windows. It is critical that you measure your old window opening properly and accurately. Pvc double glazed windows and doors are custom-built and can't be returned if the size ordered was inaccurate. This is why for all replacement windows and doors and some new constructions, our trained technicians will take their own measurements before manufacture. All of our double glazed windows and doors are manufactured to a high accuracy, so ideally you should get the closest fit possible.

The following instructions can be used for cost estimating purposes only:
To measure the width, take size of frame wall-to-wall, in three places-near the top of the window, at the middle and close to the bottom. Consider if you want to keep the same number of openings, and if the size allows for it. To measure the height, also measure from top of the window cavity to the bottom.

Don't assume that all your windows are the same size. Draw a rough sketch of your house and number each window you plan to replace, then measure each of them separately. If you have a number of fixed panels, which are separated by a beam or brickwork - they are considered separate double glazed window panels and are priced accordingly.

Remember that we don't have any standard windows and doors in stock, and we manufacture each window and door to your individual specifications.

It is customary to report your sizes in millimeters, width first, but to avoid confusion it is advisable to always label the sizes with width and length and the window number and/or location. Generally, there is no significant difference in sizes taken by clients and us, so as to affect the price. We would, generally, bear the cost of any marginal rounding or measurement errors, however, this does not extend to accidental omission of half the window length.

Installation of Double Glazed Windows in new homes or buildings is usually performed by the builder and his team, however, we are prepared to quote and provide an installation service if required.

Many people have the impression that all silicone gels on the market are the same, but we have found that their properties and, therefore, suitability varies dramatically. Generally, the descriptions of silicone offer little information as to the correct grade and type for a given application, and because of performance variability, there is no one type of silicone sealant that should be used for everything. Using the incorrect silicone or improper use may cause joint failure, contamination of surfaces because of poor application, excessive movement in the sealed joint.   Get the answers on your questions on double glazed sealing on this page
