What Information Do I Need to Order Aluminum Windows?
t394-49

To order aluminum windows you need the exact width and height of each opening, the type of opening you want, the glass and colour you prefer, and a few site details such as floor level and wall thickness. With these ready and a few photos, the factory can prepare an accurate drawing and specification for your approval.
Measurements you must have ready
Measurements are the most important part of any order. Measure each opening at the wall, in at least three places across the width and height, because walls are rarely perfectly straight. Record the clear opening, the wall thickness, and whether the window sits flush with the inner or outer face of the wall.
- Width and height of each opening
- Wall thickness and the depth of the reveal
- Sill height from the floor
Write every measurement on a simple sketch so nothing gets mixed up later.
Choosing the type of opening
Decide how each window should open before you contact the factory. Common options include sliding, casement, tilt-and-turn, and fixed units. The opening type affects where the window needs clearance, how ventilation works, and which hardware is used.
Think about furniture, curtains, and whether anyone needs to clean the outside from inside the room. A fixed pane is often the cheapest and most secure option for areas that do not need airflow.
Glass, profile, and colour
Tell the factory what glass you want. Single or double glazing, tinted or clear, and safety glass for lower levels are all possible choices. Glass thickness depends on the size of the pane, so the factory will confirm what suits each unit.
Choose the profile look and the colour finish as well. Powder-coated finishes come in many colours, and a sample or photo helps avoid surprises when the windows arrive.
Site and installation details
Describe the building and the place where the windows will go. Note the floor and the floor level, the type of wall (concrete, block, or brick), and whether the windows are new or replacing old frames. Mention any access limits, such as a narrow staircase or a lift size that could affect delivery.
If there are existing shutters, roller blinds, or railings close to the opening, include them in your photos so the installer knows what to expect.
Photos and written inquiry
Send clear photos of each opening, taken straight on and from a little further back to show the surroundings. Include a photo of the inside and outside if possible. Add your measurements, the number of windows, the opening types you want, and your location in Israel.
A short written list next to the photos saves time and reduces back-and-forth questions.
Drawing, approval, and next steps
After reviewing your inquiry, the factory prepares a drawing and a written specification. Read both carefully and check every dimension, opening type, glass, and colour against what you asked for. Ask questions before approving anything, because changes are easier at this stage.
Once you approve the specification, production begins in the factory, followed by finishing and installation at your site.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an exact measurement, or is an estimate enough?
Exact measurements are best. The factory measures on site when needed, and accurate numbers prevent fitting problems later.
Can I order aluminum windows without photos?
You can, but photos help the factory understand the opening, the wall type, and nearby obstacles. They speed up the process considerably.
Do I need to choose the glass before ordering?
It helps to decide early, since glass type affects thickness and weight. The factory can advise you on suitable options for each window.
Who installs the windows?
Installation is part of the process after production and finishing. Confirm the installation arrangements when you approve the specification.
Common mistakes to avoid
The most common error is measuring only once or from the wrong face of the wall, which leads to windows that do not fit. Also avoid choosing an opening type without checking where furniture and curtains will sit.
Our recommendation
Measure every opening at least three times, sketch it, and send photos with your inquiry. Review the drawing and specification line by line before you approve, because it is the reference for production.
Summary
Prepare accurate measurements, the opening type, glass and colour choices, site details, and clear photos before you order aluminum windows. This preparation leads to a smoother process and a better fit.
