Dimensional Calculation Methodology

How dimensions become exact cuts

From rough masonry opening to final profile cuts, see the exact math and clearances applied to every frame, sash, and glazing pocket.

Calculation PipelineStep 1 of 5
01

Rough structural opening

-10 mm perimeter

Perimeter expansion allowance between the masonry brickwork and outer aluminium extrusion to accommodate structural settling and sealant backing.

W_frame = W_opening – 20mm | H_frame = H_opening – 20mm
Nominal gap10.0 mm/side
Shim tolerance± 1.5 mm
02

Outer frame extrusion

45° miter / 90° butt
03

Sash profile & daylight

+16 mm overlap rebate
04

Glazing pocket & glass

-8 mm total per axis
05

Stock bar yield & kerf

3.2 mm kerf per cut
