Step by step

Measure windows correctly: step-by-step guide

Measuring windows correctly takes more than raw dimensions: you need a reliable workflow so ordering, preparation and installation do not leave gaps.

The right sequence for window surveying

  1. Define the position and installation situation unambiguously.
  2. Measure width at top, middle and bottom.
  3. Measure height at left, middle and right.
  4. Add reveal, meeting rail, junction details and any special conditions.
  5. Take photos and mark critical points.
  6. Check data on site before exporting or ordering.

Dimensions you should not forget

Clear opening dimensions

Width and height at several points so taper, slopes and tolerances become visible.

Reveal and junction

Depth, meeting rails, junction joints, existing boxes or adjacent components.

Extra information

Opening type, special conditions, material state and images help downstream office work.

Plausibility check

Before finishing, check that all fields are complete and values are consistent.

Short on-site checklist

  • • Create or prepare job and position in advance
  • • Capture several measuring points per opening
  • • Note special cases directly in the dataset
  • • Take photos clearly tied to the position
  • • Clarify queries and open points on site, not only back at the office
