1 The Golden Rules of Measuring
These three rules remove most DIY mistakes before they happen.
Use a Steel Tape
Always use a fresh metal tape measure. Cloth tapes stretch and lie.
Millimetres Matter
Measure to the exact millimetre. Do not round up or down.
Measure Every Window
Even matching windows can vary as homes settle over time.
2 The Diagonal Squareness Test
Measure your window diagonally from corner to corner in an X shape.
If the two diagonals differ by more than 6mm, choose a Face Fit or recessed Z-Frame to hide out-of-square gaps.
Pro Tip: Do this quick check before checkout so your frame style is right the first time.
3 Pick the Perfect Frame
Inside Mount L-Frame
A clean, minimalist fit for square windows with enough recess depth.
Inside Mount Z-Frame
The Aussie favourite for hiding small gaps and uneven reveals.
Outside Mount Face Fit
Best for shallow windows, obstructions, or windows that tilt inward.
4 Install Like a PRO
No rush, no guesswork. Keep each window kit separate and follow this sequence.
