How to Order Made-to-Measure Windows and Doors
Ordering made-to-measure windows and doors allows you to select products that suit the dimensions, appearance and practical requirements of your property. However, accurate measurements and careful product selection are essential before placing an order. Choose the right product Begin by deciding which type of window or door is best suited to the opening and how it will be used. Popular window options include uPVC casement windows, French windows, sliding windows and tilt and turn windows. For entrances and access to outdoor spaces, suitable options may include uPVC single doors, French doors, sliding patio doors, bifolding doors and composite entrance doors. Consider the available space, required opening direction, access requirements, ventilation and the style of the property. Measure the opening carefully Made-to-measure products are manufactured using the dimensions supplied when ordering, so measurements must be accurate. Measure the structural opening in several places because brickwork may not be perfectly square. Record the smallest width and height measurements and follow the manufacturer’s guidance regarding any required fitting allowance. Do not rely solely on the dimensions of the existing frame, as it may have moved, warped or been installed incorrectly. Measurements should be checked more than once before an order is submitted. If you are uncertain, ask a professional installer or builder to measure the opening. Select the product options Made-to-measure windows and doors can be configured with options that affect their appearance and operation. These may include frame colours, glazing and frosting styles, cills, handles, trickle vents, decorative glazing and opening configurations. Think about privacy, natural light, ventilation and how the new product will complement the rest of the property. Bathrooms and entrance doors may require greater privacy, while living areas and extensions may benefit from larger glazed sections. Plan for installation AWM Glass provides a supply-only service, so installation should be planned before ordering. Confirm that your installer is comfortable fitting the selected product and understands the measurements and specifications. Building regulations and safety requirements may apply depending on the product and its position within the property. For example, safety glazing may be required in doors and in certain low-level glazed areas. A suitably qualified professional can advise on the requirements for your project.
