How to take measurements
Correct measuring of a window even before the purchase is one of more important steps which determines its proper functionality.
How to measure a window
The dimensions of a window should enable its correct positioning and levelling. In order to maintain the proper functionality of a window, appropriate space should be kept between a window and the wall. The width of the clearing (a gap) depends on the colour, size and material of the window. The recommended gap width is presented in the table below.
The most common openings for installing windows are openings without a jamb and with a jamb.
For windows installed in openings without jambs, the recommended width of the gap between the wall and the window is:

Note: when measuring the height of a window, you should leave some space under the window where a 30-mm high mounting bar will be installed.
An example how to measure a pcv white window with the width of up to 2.5 m (opening without a jamb)
Measure the width of the opening and deduct 3 cm. Then measure the height of the opening and deduct 5 cm (3 cm for the mounting bar and 2 cm for the gap at the top)
Practically it looks as follows:
The width of the opening - 2m, i.e. 2000 mm minus 30 mm (2x15mm) gives 1970 mm
The height of the opening - 1.8 m, i.e. 1800 mm minus 50 mm (30 mm for the mounting bar plus 20 mm for the gap at the top of the window) gives 1750 mm
You should order a window with the dimensions: width 1970 mm, height 1750 mm
For windows installed in openings with jambs, the recommended width of the gap between the wall and the window is:

An example how to measure a pvc white window with the width of up to 2.5m (an opening with a jamb).
Measure the width of the opening in its narrowest place and add 7 cm (3.5 cm for each side) to achieve a symmetrical view of the windows from outside of the building)
Then, measure the height from the outside windowsill to the bottom edge of the jamb and add 3.5 cm to achieve a symmetrical view of the windows from outside of the building.
Practically it looks as follows:
The width of the opening - 1.8 m, i.e. 1800 mm + 70 mm (2x35mm) gives 1870 mm
The height of the opening - 1.7 m, i.e.1700 mm + 35 mm gives 1735 mm
You should order a window with the dimensions: width 1870 mm, height 1735 mm
The above measurement provided for the replacement of the windowsill with a new one of the approximate thickness of 30mm.
To avoid responsibility for measurement errors, it is recommended to commission such measurement to authorised persons or installation companies.

Prawidłowe wymierzenie okna jeszcze przed samym zakupem jest jedną z ważniejszych czynności determinujących jego prawidłową funkcjonalność.
Jak zmierzyć okno
Okno powinno mieć takie wymiary, by umożliwiały prawidłowe ustawienie i wypoziomowanie. Dla zachowania prawidłowej funkcjonalności okna, powinna być zachowana odpowiednia przestrzeń pomiędzy oknem, a ścianą. Szerokość luzu (szczeliny) jest uzależniona od koloru, wielkości oraz materiału z jakiego wykonane jest okno. Zalecane szerokości szczelin przedstawia poniższa tabela.
Najczęściej spotykane otwory, w których montowane są okna to otwory bezwęgarkowe i węgarkowe.

Mierzymy szerokość otworu i odejmujemy 3 cm. Następnie mierzymy wysokość otworu i odejmujemy 5 cm ( 3 cm na listwę montażową i 2 cm szczelina na górze)
W praktyce wygląda to tak:
Szerokość otworu 2 m tj.2000 mm minus 30 mm (2x15mm) to jest 1970 mm
Wysokość otworu 1,8 m tj 1800 mm minus 50 mm (30 mm listwa montażowa plus 20 mm szczelina na górze okna ) to jest 1750 mm
