A guide to measuring your old windows for replacement

Measuring up for new windows is not quite as simple as it sounds. But you do need to get your measurements exactly right otherwise you risk being lumbered with a lovely new window that doesn’t fit.

Here chehelsoton Iran provided some guidelines on how to measure up your home for new windows. But if you’re not sure, it makes sense to get a professional to help you. Chehelsoton Iran is ready to help you in this case.

Use metric

The first rule of thumb is to make sure you take accurate measurements in millimetres. This gives you a finer level of accuracy and means there’s no room for error from the window manufacturer when they have to convert your measurements to metric.

Measure the opening outside

So firstly step outside. You need to take height and width measurements for the brickwork opening. Bear in mind that the height measurements must be from underneath any existing removable windowsill. If your property is rendered, simply take off a little of the render and measure to the brickwork edge.

Measure brick to brick in at least three different places

Remember the opening may not be exactly square so take a minimum of three measurements – top, middle and bottom, for the height and the same again for the width. This means your window manufacturer can get an accurate view of the exact size of the space the finished product will be fitted into. The final width and height measurement the manufacturer will use is the smallest one.

Never measure the old frame

This is a common error and certainly one to avoid. Ignore the old window frame – this is going because it is no longer suitable. Consider the fact that it may well have warped so the last thing you want to do is take measurements from it!

Be sure of your measurementsMake sure you check (and double-check) your measurements so you are 100% sure you have them correctly. This is important because no window manufacturer will accept responsibility for incorrect measurements and you will still have to pay for a window that doesn’t fit. If you are unsure, consult a professional installer or builder and give yourself total peace of mind. It’ll be worth it

Measuring Glass

How to measure your own glass

We get asked this question a lot – “I want to place an order but how do I measure my glass correctly?”

Understanding how to measure your glass is the most important part of ordering your new decorative glass. We use toughened glass for most orders and this type of glass cannot be cut down once it has been toughened so by spending just 10 minutes reading our tips below will ensure that the ordering process runs smoothly. For larger orders we can make a site visit to measure but this will incur high costs to most orders.

We require you to supply us with Glass sizes and the Visible sizes. We do not want Tight’ sizes’. These are all explained below.

IMPORTANT:

If your chosen decorative glass design contains a border or other elements of the design that are located near the edge of the glass, it is very important that you supply us with the ‘visible glass sizes’ as well as the ‘glass size required’.

Some older doors have a very wide bead and this could obstruct some of the pattern/design. It is important that you also supply these dimensions so we can ensure that your design is not obstructed by the frame or beading

Double glazing glass installation

Chehelsoton Iran is perfect in many types well-known double glazed glass.

In the center of the glass rabbet, regularly drop some elastomeric sealant, on the vertical part of the window .

Carefully add it to the frame. Be aware that double glazing is much heavier. Center the insulating glass as best you can. If need be, ask for someone else to help.

It is very important to correctly fix your double glazing, if required you can use shims provided by the manufacturer. Measurements should be strictly the same length, otherwise the double glazing will force the window frame to change shape, given its weight.

Chehelsoton Iran, in order to make it stick to the sealant. Do not use traditional putty, like linseed oil, as it is much less sticky than the elastomeric silicone sealant, and may not withstand the weight of the double glazing.

Attach the double glazing by planting spikes around the jamb of the window. Above them, replace the glazing if you still have room in the rabbet. If not, add some sealant that you’ll have to cover with nails on the window frame. If there’s still some free space, add some more sealant that you’ll spread out with moistened fingers.

Replace the window opening on its hinges.

The Window Consultant offers Affordable, Practical and Effective Business Advice, Sales & Marketing Solutions and Manpower to the UK Window Industry

Choosing an installer

Choosing a small window and door installer above a large national company could save you money. These large double glazing giants have huge running costs in the form of TV, newspaper and radio advertising, internet adverts and flashy show rooms. They will normally claw back overheads through their customers. By going local, you will get a more personal hands-on approach.

When you enlist the help of glazing consultants Window Advice Centre, we will assign a local consultant to run through all of your window and door needs in detail.

Sales representatives

Generally speaking, double glazing representatives in Scotland operate on a commission and are likely to tease as much profit out of customers as possible. But at Window Advice Centre, things are done differently.

A consultant will survey your property and discuss the merits and probable costs of windows and doors and types of double glazing, such as UPVC windows, with you, before popping your wishes in a tender document. The consultant will then use this document to source costs on your behalf from up to 10 of the most cost-effective approved double glazing companies, who are best suited to your needs.

The right type of glass

Today’s glass technology is at its best and well insulated.

The double glazed glass units fitted into the doors and windows are graded A, B or C – with A being the best. There are several to choose from, such as self-cleaning glass, toughened safety glass and obscured.

Choosing the correct glass for the specific room can be made easier by speaking to a good consultant.

Window Security

It is a good idea to clarify window security features with the double glazing companies. There are some that come as standard with double glazing but not all windows and doors are the same. It may be cost effective in the long run to discuss upgrades. It’s not usually that expensive to upgrade locks and is often well worth the extra spend.

External noise and heat

Double glazing is great for reducing external noise as well as being a great insulator for the home. If you are looking into window replacement due to noise pollution alone, it’s worth bearing in mind that secondary glazing is considered to be better in reducing noise. Again, this type of glazing is useful when you are looking into insulation. It will reduce your carbon footprint as well as keep heating bills down.

They need replacement not only to improve the appearance of the house but also to take advantage of modern energy efficient windows that bring about an overall improvement of the ambiance of the house at low recurring cost of heating and cooling.

Replacement windows can increase resale value[2] and energy efficiency. Several types of typical windows are listed and discussed here.

Metal and steel windows were used from the early 1900s to the present. Steel and aluminum casements and Steel Vertical Operators were used from the 1950s through the 1960s. Aluminum windows were used in the 1960s through the present. The last decade has also seen the admission of composite materials such as fiberglass and vinyl-wood-polymer type products.
