Windows Or Doors |

| Measure
the height of the opening in the brickwork from outside
and check this dimension in 3 or 4 points across the
frame. Use the smallest dimension and from this
deduct 6mm (1/4") to find the height of the frame
you require. Measure the width of the opening
in the brickwork (ensuring that your measuring tape
is level) and check this dimension 3 or 4 times up
the opening and use the smallest measurement.
Deduct 10mm if you are using pvc-u windows or 6mm
if you are using aluminium or wood from this measurement
to find the width of the frame you require. |

| If
you have render on the outside of the property, you
will note that the window is fitted behind this.
It will be necessary to remove the external render
around the opening to fit the new window or door and
the frame measurement will need to be carefully measured
as above. |
| |
| IMPORTANT:
Where windows are fitted directly below soffit boards
side hung openings can be obstructed by the fascia.
Measure the distance the fascia board drops below
the soffit and if this is more than 20mm (3/4") please
advise us and we will ensure that we design the window
to ensure it opens fully. |
