Requesting Window Finish Samples Before You Order
t446-46

You can request physical finish samples of our Belgian steel-look profile windows and doors before placing an order, so you can compare colour and texture under your project's real light. Send us your inquiry with photos and the finish you have in mind, and we will arrange the sample as part of the planning stage.
Why Finish Samples Matter for Steel-Look Profiles
Steel-look profile windows and doors are chosen largely for their appearance, and a finish that looks right on a screen can read very differently in person. Surface texture, sheen and tone all shift with daylight, the colour of the surrounding walls and the materials next to the frame.
Asking for a sample before ordering lets your client and your team judge the finish on a real profile rather than a digital image. It is the simplest way to avoid a disappointing result after production has started.
- Compare the finish against stone, plaster or timber in the actual space
- Check how the surface looks in morning and afternoon light
- Confirm the finish suits the rest of the building's exterior
How to Request a Sample
Start with a written inquiry that includes photos of the building or interior, the opening sizes if you have them, and the finish you are considering. Clear photos help us understand the context in which the finish will be seen.
Tell us whether you need a sample of a single finish or a comparison between two or three options. We will confirm the request and the sample details before anything is prepared, so you know what to expect.
On-Site Measurement and Drawing
Once the inquiry is reviewed, we can arrange an on-site measurement so the openings are recorded accurately. Measurement is done on the actual structure, since walls and openings in existing buildings rarely match the drawings exactly.
From the measurements we prepare a drawing and a written specification covering profile type, dimensions, opening direction and the chosen finish. Exact structural and safety values are checked with the engineer on your project.
Client Approval Before Production
The drawing, specification and finish sample together form the basis for approval. We recommend the designer and the client both review the sample and the drawing before work is released to the factory.
- Confirm the finish against the sample, not a photo
- Check every opening dimension on the drawing
- Sign off the specification in writing
Once approved, changes become harder and slower, so this step is worth taking seriously.
Production and Finishing in the Factory
Approved windows and doors are manufactured in our Tel Aviv factory at 37 Rival Street, which has operated since 1945 and is run by the third generation of the family. Profiles are cut, assembled and prepared to the approved specification.
The finish is applied in the factory so the surface matches the approved sample. Where a galvanized or powder-coated base is part of the specification, it is completed before the final coat, which helps the finish hold up over time.
Installation and Final Check
Installation follows production, and we check each frame for alignment, operation and fit with the surrounding wall. Any gaps or sealing details are confirmed at this stage with the contractor.
Comparing the installed finish with the original sample is a useful final step, since it gives the designer and client a clear reference point and confirms the project matches what was agreed.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see a window finish sample before I order?
Yes, you can request a finish sample as part of the planning stage before any order is placed. Send your inquiry with photos and the finish you are considering.
Do I need to send measurements first?
Not necessarily. You can start with photos and approximate sizes, and we arrange an on-site measurement for accurate dimensions before production.
Why is the sample checked against the approved drawing?
The sample shows the finish, while the drawing records the exact dimensions and opening details. Both are needed to confirm the product matches the project.
Who should approve the finish?
The designer and the client should both review the sample and drawing together. Written approval before production helps avoid later changes.
Common mistakes to avoid
Approving a finish from a photo alone, or skipping the on-site measurement, often leads to surprises in colour or fit. Always judge the finish on a physical sample under the project's real light.
Our recommendation
View two or three finish options side by side in the actual space at different times of day, and make sure the client signs off the sample before production begins.
Summary
Requesting a finish sample before ordering lets designers judge steel-look profile windows and doors on real material. Combined with measurement, a written specification and approval, it ensures the finished result matches what was agreed.
