    Measure the bead depth

    This sets the right bracket size. Place a credit card flat against the glass and measure from the glass to the edge of the bead. Record the bead depth in millimetres.

    Account for window handles

    If your window has a handle, measure from the left bead to the pivot point of the handle. This lets us make an accurate rebate.

Step 1: Measure the width

Before you order

  • Repeat the same measurements for any upper or secondary sections of the window.
  • Always use the smallest width and height you measured.
  • Double-check all figures before placing your order.
  • Handles, vents or locks inside the recess can affect installation. Include their position.
