You can order made to measure uPVC windows from us online: choose one of 15 systems from four German brands, enter the frame sizes and see the price straight away. Production takes 3–8 weeks from payment, and the windows arrive on racks at your address; fitting is up to you. Before you order, go through the checklist below, because once you have paid the sizes can no longer be changed.
What does "made to measure" mean for uPVC windows?
Every window is made for a specific opening: you set the width, height, sash layout, opening type and colour. There are no catalogue sizes, only technical limits. An opening sash must be at least 450 mm wide and a door sash at most 2300 mm high (above that we add a fanlight). Coloured tilt and slide (PSK) doors have a smaller maximum width than white ones. The configurator keeps you within these limits.
The profiles come from VEKA, Kömmerling, Salamander and Gealan. They differ in depth and in the number of chambers and seals. AD versions have two seals; MD versions have three, including a centre seal. The warmest include the Kömmerling 88 MD with Uw from 0.73 and the Salamander bluEvolution 82 with Uw from 0.75. The full list is on our uPVC windows page.
Made to measure uPVC windows: checklist before you order
Sizes and opening:
- Are you entering the frame size, not the opening size? Measure the opening in three places, take the smallest figure and deduct the fitting gap agreed with your fitter.
- Have you described the opening side standing inside the room?
- Is every sash at least 450 mm wide? Instead of two narrow sashes, one sash plus a fixed pane works better.
System, glass and colour:
- Does the chosen system take the glazing you want? Some systems only take double glazing, others only triple.
- Do you know the Uw of the whole window, not just the glass? In Germany, the GEG requires Uw ≤ 1.3 W/(m²K) when windows are replaced in residential buildings.
- Does the colour fit the rules? White is in the base price. You can have a colour outside with white inside, or the same colour on both sides, one colour for the whole order.
- Have you picked the right frame: standard, renovation (over the old frame) or Dutch-style (NL)? Availability depends on the system.
Extras:
- Did you decide on shutters before measuring? A top-mounted roller shutter box makes the window taller.
- Are your fly screens on opening sashes? Those are the only ones the configurator offers them for.
- Do you have external sills and fitting materials: foam, tapes, fixings and wedges?
Delivery and fitting:
- Does the order include at least 2 windows or one lift and slide door? With less, delivery eats up the saving.
- Do you have a forklift or 2–3 people for unloading, and a dry place where the windows can stand upright?
- Is your fitter booked for after delivery? Remove the protective film no later than 4 weeks after the windows arrive.
What we check on our side
We have been working with windows since 1997 and have completed more than 5,000 orders. With every quote we check the sizes, opening sides and descriptions. If something will not work technically, we tell you straight away. Before production you receive a drawing and specification to approve. Made-to-measure windows cannot be returned within 14 days (Directive 2011/83/EU, Article 16(c)), so read the drawing line by line. The declaration of performance and CE documentation come with the delivery, and the GALI warranty runs for 2 years.
Checklist done? Build your windows in the configurator and compare the same project in two systems. We prepare a quote including delivery within 3 working days. If you are torn between materials, read uPVC or aluminium.
