Please refer to the following guidelines when measuring your windows.

Accuracy in measuring is very important as Fixhome will build your grilles based on the window dimensions you provide. Please read the following information carefully to ensure a proper fit.

Pictured below is a representation of a common window sash with a straight stile & rail profile. Fixhome offers grilles with a square end cut. If your window sash has contoured stiles & rails you may wish to specify the grille be made at a larger size and modify the grille to fit.

You will be responsible for making any modifications to the grille to fit beyond our normal square end cut. Fixhome will not make custom end cuts.

If you are going to make end cut modifications and are using a fastener that requires a machined slot (Standard Push Pin or Star Wars Pin) indicate the amount Fixhome should increase the slot depth beyond normal.

Fixhome will not be responsible for grilles that do not fit after customer has made modifications.

All custom grille sales are final and nonrefundable. Fixhome will manufacture the grilles to the dimensions provided and will not be responsible for incorrectly measured sash sizes.

If it is determined that Fixhome incorrectly manufactured a window grille to the customers specified size or light pattern, Fixhome will repair or replace the incorrect item at no charge. (See Warranty page)

Measuring Guidelines

• The DLO (Day Light Opening) of the sash should be measured to within the nearest 1/32" of an inch width first then height. (Note: If you are replacing existing grilles please provide the exact dimensions of the grilles you are replacing). There is a field to enter your DLO window size for each grille pattern located on the right side of the ordering page.
• Grilles are manufactured scant of the day light opening to allow for sash and paint thickness variations.
• The openings between the bars are called "Lights". Each grille will produce multiple lights in a window sash. (See the "Special Sizes & Patterns" section below for Non Standard Patterns)
• There are three different fastening devices to choose from. Please be sure to select the appropriate fastener for your window. Fixhome will apply the Standard Push Pin unless another fastener is selected.
• NOTE: For Double Hung & Slider/Glider windows make sure you have enough slideby clearance between the glass on one sash and the check rail on the other sash. (See "Check Rail Clearance" below).

When ordering window grilles the following information should be provided:

• DLO Day Light Opening size of each quantity ordered
• Type of window: casement, awning, double hung, glider,  picture unit, etc.
• Type of fastener that will best work with your type of windows

Check Rail Clearance

The following diagram is a representation of a double hung or slider window. When installing a grille in a window has two sash that slide past each other, there needs to be enough room between the surface of the glass on one sash, and the back of the rail on the other sash. This is called the "Check Rail Clearance".

In the diagram below the dimension of 9/16" indicates the minimum amount of clearance needed for a Fixhome grille to be installed without interfering with the window's operation.

Special Sizes & Patterns

If you want a grille pattern that has more lights than what is shown within the size range of your window but is shown in a larger size range, order the grille pattern shown in the larger size range and specify the Day Light Opening size of your window. 

If you want a grille pattern that has less lights than what is shown within the size range of your window but is shown in a smaller size range, order the grille from the correct size range and specify your desired light pattern in the field along with your Day Light Opening size.
