Measuring
Measure the width and height of the aperture, plus any bevelled edges on the window frame.
Add 25mm of flat surface on each side (for the screen frame to rest against). If you are short of flat surface, you can have as little as 10mm, but the frame will overlap some of the aperture.
Allow space for such things as a locating wedge for cock-spur handles.
We manufacture to the sizes given to us, subject to +/- 2mm manufacturing tolerance. Please ensure you have read our measuring instructions carefully and made any deductions required.
Width: Aperture (and bevelled edges) + 50mm of flat surface.
Height: Aperture (and bevelled edge) + 50mm of flat surface.
Additionally
Ensure you have an additional 15mm of flat surface to fit hinges and 20mm to fit turn buttons.
If the screen is being used in a reveal, an additional 43mm of flat surface beyond the hinge will be required, to allow the screen to open fully (90° to the face) with out stopping against the reveal.
Do not include these amounts in the manufacturing measurements you give us.
Do you need to build a sub frame ?
If the window handle extends more than 35mm beyond the flat surface you will need to build a sub frame around the window to bring the screen away from the window handle when it is closed. Alternatively let the screen rest against the handle (hinged screen).
