A custom order is a sequence, not a promise.

Four steps Drawings · sample · batch · loading
01 / Overview

From drawing to container, four checkpoints.

Each checkpoint has a defined input and output. Nothing moves forward until it is confirmed.

STEP 01

Drawings & schedule

Sizes, build-up, wind and thermal requirements checked; shop drawings and a question list issued.

STEP 02

Sample & approval

A corner or full leaf confirms colour, hardware and feel, and becomes the production benchmark.

STEP 03

Production & QC

Built to the signed sample, checked stage by stage, with performance sampling at the agreed frequency.

STEP 04

Packing & loading

Film, corner guards, crates and vertical glass loading, shipped against a loading plan.

02 / The four steps

Who does what, at each step.

Writing the responsibilities down is faster than confirming them again by email.

STEP 01

Drawings & opening schedule

The order starts as a set of dimensions, not a photo. We check what the opening has to do before we price it.

You provide

  • Elevation drawings and an opening schedule with sizes
  • Target market and the wind / thermal requirement
  • Glass, hardware and finish preference
  • Delivery sequence and site access constraints

We deliver

  • Reviewed shop drawings with profile and glass build-up
  • Hardware schedule and fixing details
  • A written list of deviations and open questions
  • Confirmation of the assumptions used in the price
STEP 02

Sample & approval

A colour chip is not a window. We build a corner or a full leaf so the joint, the gasket and the handle can be judged in the hand.

You provide

  • Approval of the colour and finish reference
  • Confirmation of hardware and glazing sample
  • Written sign-off on any change after sampling

We deliver

  • Corner or full-leaf sample
  • Colour chip and hardware set
  • A signed sample record used as the production reference
STEP 03

Production & in-process QC

The approved sample becomes the benchmark. Every batch is checked against it at each stage, not only at the end.

You provide

  • Batch call-off and delivery sequence
  • Packing marks, label format and private-label artwork
  • Third-party inspection booking, if required

We deliver

  • Production against the signed sample
  • Stage checks and performance sampling
  • Photo updates at agreed milestones
  • Packing list issued before shipment
STEP 04

Packing & container loading

Windows are heavy, fragile and non-standard. Packing is engineered for the route, not chosen at the last minute.

You provide

  • Container type, loading date and destination port
  • Any special marking or unloading requirement
  • Confirmation of the shipping terms

We deliver

  • Protective film, corner guards and crates
  • Vertical glass loading and a loading plan
  • Container photographs before departure
  • Documents released against the agreed terms
03 / What can be customised

The boundaries of custom work.

These items can be adjusted per order. Changes that affect structural safety or tested performance require the drawing and report to be re-confirmed.

SizesWidth and height to the opening schedule; structural review first where a leaf exceeds the recommended size.
ColoursStandard colour range or project-specific colour, confirmed by chip or signed sample.
GlazingInsulating, laminated, Low-E, tinted or frosted, configured to the market and thermal requirement.
HardwareMulti-point locks, concealed hinges, rollers and soft-close selected per system.
Private label & packingLabels, manuals and packing marks can carry the buyer's brand; the packing method is confirmed against the shipping route.
04 / Export packing

Packing is part of a non-standard product.

Packing is set by the shipping route, handling conditions and destination climate — not summed up as “standard export packing”.

01Protective film on profiles and hardware
02Corner guards and edge reinforcement
03Crates or pallets by batch
04Vertical glass loading
05Loading plan and bracing
06Photographs before departure

Vertical glass loading, crates and corner guards are confirmed per order and route. If third-party inspection is required, tell us before production is scheduled.
