choosing a window
Speak the same language. The technical terms used in construction and renovation are not always easily understood by the layperson. We therefore offer the following illustrations to help you visualise your project and better understand our representatives.
Take the measurements - New construction
Measure the window opening at three different locations (width, height and depth), as shown in the illustration. If these measurements differ from one another, use the smallest measurement. Carefully verify the distances between studs and the size of masonry openings. Your dealer will deduct an inch to the outer dimension (height and width) when he takes your order.
Take the measurements - Renovation
In the case of renovations, it is important to remove the interior frames. According to the type of siding on your home, measure the window opening at three different locations (interior and exterior width, interior and exterior height and depth), as shown in the illustrations. If these measurements differ, use the smallest measurement. Your dealer will deduct 1/2 inch to the outer dimension (height and width) when he takes your order.
Choose the characteristics
You should now decide which characteristics you wish your windows to have, notably, the type of moulding, the type of pane, etc. This information is necessary in ordering the appropriate windows.
