Submit Drawings for Custom Aluminum Window Fabrication

t400-42

To request custom aluminum window fabrication, submit your drawings with clear dimensions, opening types, profile preferences and finish requirements. Our team reviews the drawings, confirms measurements on site when needed, and returns a written specification for your approval before production starts.

What to Include in Your Window Drawings

Clear drawings save time for both sides. Include an elevation view of each window with overall width and height, the frame and sash layout, and the opening direction of every leaf. Mark the position of hinges, handles and any fixed panels.

Overall and opening sizes in millimeters
Glazing type and thickness, if known
Sill, head and jamb details
Floor and wall finish levels at the opening

Preferred Formats and File Sharing

PDF, DWG or clearly scaled JPG files are all workable. Name each file with the floor, unit and window code so we can match drawings to the schedule without confusion. If you have a window schedule, send it as a spreadsheet alongside the plans.

Multiple windows of the same type can be grouped in one schedule row, with the quantity noted. This keeps quoting and production organized.

On-Site Measurement and Verification

Drawings describe intent, but openings in older buildings often differ from the plan. For that reason we usually verify critical dimensions on site before cutting profiles. This step is especially important for openings that were already built in masonry or concrete.

If you already have measurements taken by your site team, mark which dimensions were measured and which were taken from drawings. That distinction helps us decide where to check first.

Specification, Approval and Production Steps

After reviewing your drawings, we send a written specification covering profile system, frame and sash dimensions, glazing, hardware and finish. Please approve it in writing before we begin fabrication, since changes after production starts are harder to absorb.

Finish and Performance Details to Specify

State the surface finish early, including powder-coat color reference and whether the finish must match other building elements. Also note any performance requirements your project carries, such as acoustic or thermal targets, so the right components are selected.

For exact structural or code values, please confirm with your engineer. We build to the requirements you specify and to the applicable standards your project follows.

Coordinating With Your Project Team

Architects often work with contractors, interior designers and site engineers at the same time. Share one drawing set with a revision date and name a single contact who approves changes. This prevents conflicting versions from reaching the factory.

If a window interfaces with a glass railing, a steel structure or a building opening detail, include those drawings too so the connections fit correctly on site.

Frequently asked questions

Can I send hand-drawn sketches instead of CAD drawings?

Yes, clear hand sketches with dimensions are acceptable for a first review. For final production we usually need dimensioned drawings or confirmed on-site measurements.

Do you check the drawings before fabrication?

Yes. We review dimensions, opening types and details, and raise any questions in writing. Production begins only after you approve the specification.

What if the actual opening differs from the drawing?

We measure on site where needed and flag differences before cutting. The written specification is then updated for your approval.

Can you work from a window schedule instead of individual drawings?

Yes, a schedule with sizes, quantities, opening types and locations works well, provided it is accompanied by elevation details for unusual windows.

Common mistakes to avoid

Submitting drawings without dimensions or opening directions causes the most delays. Changing the design after the specification is approved also adds time and rework.

Our recommendation

Send one current drawing set with a revision date, mark which dimensions were measured on site, and approve the written specification before production starts. This single habit prevents most fabrication issues.

Summary

Submit complete, dimensioned drawings, verify critical openings on site, and approve a written specification before production, so your custom aluminum windows arrive right the first time.
