How Belgian Steel-Look Profile Windows Are Measured On Site

t446-0

Belgian steel-look profile windows are measured on site by a technician who records the exact opening dimensions, frame depth, wall type and any obstacles such as shutters or railings. These measurements are turned into a detailed drawing and written specification, which the client approves before production in the factory begins.

Starting with an inquiry and photos

Most projects begin with a simple inquiry. Send photos of each window or door opening, the building facade, and a short note about what you want to change, such as replacing old frames or improving insulation and appearance. Photos from inside and outside help us understand how the opening sits in the wall and which surfaces are visible.

Tell us the floor, the room use and any known issues, such as drafts or condensation. This information helps us suggest a suitable profile and configuration before the site visit.

The on-site measurement visit

A technician visits the property to measure every opening individually. Walls are rarely perfectly square, so we record width and height at the top, middle and bottom, and the diagonals as well. Each opening is measured where the new frame will sit, not only from the old frame.

Drawing and written specification

After measuring, we prepare a drawing that shows each window or door with its dimensions, opening direction, glazing layout and profile sightline. The written specification lists the materials, finish and any hardware, so there is no confusion later about what is being built.

Take time to read the drawing carefully. Check that every opening is listed, the sizes match what you expect and the opening directions suit how you use each room.

Client approval before production

Production starts only after you approve the drawing and specification in writing. This step is important because steel-look profiles are made to measure, and changes after manufacturing are costly and slow. If something does not look right, ask questions now.

Once approved, your order is scheduled in our factory at Rival Street 37 in Tel Aviv, where the frames are cut, assembled and finished to your specification.

Factory production and finishing

The profiles are cut and welded or assembled according to the approved drawings. Each unit is checked for square, fit and glazing before finishing. The steel-look appearance is completed with a protective coating, and the surface is inspected so the final look is even across all frames.

Because the frames are built in the factory, the site work at installation is much faster and cleaner than traditional on-site fabrication.

Installation and final check

On installation day, the team fixes each frame into the prepared opening, sets it level and plumb, and seals the gaps to keep out air and water. Operation of opening sashes and locks is tested before the team leaves.

Ask the installer to walk you through the operation and cleaning of the windows, and keep the drawing and specification for your records.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the on-site measurement take?

Most homes can be measured in one visit, though larger projects with many openings may take longer. The technician will confirm the schedule when your inquiry is reviewed.

Do I need to be home during the measurement?

It is helpful to be present so you can point out obstacles, show how each window is used and answer questions about the openings. Arrange access for the technician in advance.

Can I change the drawing after I approve it?

Changes are possible before production starts, but once frames are being manufactured, modifications become difficult. Review the drawing carefully before giving final approval.

Why not measure from the old window frame?

Old frames are often out of square or have been altered over time. Measuring the actual wall opening gives a more accurate fit for the new profile windows.

Common mistakes to avoid

Approving a drawing without checking each opening size and direction is the most common error. Also avoid measuring only once, since walls can vary and every opening should be recorded individually.

Our recommendation

Ask the technician to measure each opening at three heights and check the diagonals, then compare the drawing against your own notes before signing. Keep copies of the drawing, specification and photos together for future reference.

Summary

Belgian steel-look profile windows are measured carefully on site, turned into a drawing and specification, approved by the client, made in our Tel Aviv factory and then installed. Careful measurement and approval are the keys to a good fit.
