A good tape measure
Preferably use a sturdy metal tape measure. A digital display can make it easier to read the measurement in a corner.
Stick & Fit measuring instructions
Measuring for Stick & Fit: how to measure the glass correctly
A good fit starts with calm, accurate measuring. Measure each separate pane of glass in millimetres, check every measurement a second time and write the measurements down straight away.
- Measure the width and height in at least two places.
- Always use the shortest measurement.
- Do not deduct anything from the measurement yourself.
- Measure each pane of glass separately, even with windows side by side.
Well prepared
Take your time and use good measuring tools
A few extra minutes of checking prevents a wrong measurement. Have everything ready before you start and work window by window.
2
Pen and measurement list
Write every measurement down in millimetres straight away. Do not rely on your memory when you are measuring several windows.
3
A stable step
Only use a sturdy household stepladder or step. Never stand on a chair, windowsill or loose piece of furniture.
4
Calm and good light
Clear the area around the window. Measure in sufficient light and without rushing, so that the measurement remains easy to read.
Practical tip: with tall or wide windows, have someone hold the end of the tape measure. This keeps the tape straight and prevents it from sagging.
Window without trickle vent
Measure from glass edge to glass edge
Only measure the pane of glass on which the adhesive profiles will be placed. Do not include the window frame in the order size.
- Measure the width twice
Measure horizontally at the top and bottom, from glass edge to glass edge. Keep the tape straight.
- Measure the height twice
Measure vertically on the left and right, from the bottom to the top edge of the glass.
- Note the shortest measurements
Use the smallest width and the smallest height as the order size.
- Check everything again
Measure both chosen sizes once more before moving on to the next pane of glass.
Provide the measurements exactly in millimetres. Do not deduct anything yourself; the necessary adjustments are made during production.
Window with trickle vent
Measure the height to just below the vent
The trickle vent must remain clear. The top of Stick & Fit therefore ends below the vent.
- Width stays the same
Measure at the top and bottom from glass edge to glass edge and use the shortest width.
- Height on the left and right
Measure from the bottom edge of the glass to exactly the underside of the trickle vent.
- Use the shortest height
If the left and right measurements differ, take the smallest size.
- Check the clearance
Check that the controls and flaps of the vent remain accessible after fitting.
Do not measure over the trickle vent and do not include the vent in the height of the product.
Safety first
Measure calmly and avoid unnecessary risk
You do not need to measure outside the window for Stick & Fit. Stay on the inside and make sure you are always standing steadily.
- Close the window while measuring and do not put a tilt-and-turn window in the tilt position.
- Do not lean out and do not climb onto the windowsill.
- Open a household stepladder fully on a level floor.
- With taller windows, have someone stay nearby and hold the tape.
- Stop if you cannot read the measurement safely or clearly.
Final check
Avoiding common measuring mistakes
Including the window frame
Stick & Fit is fitted on the glass. So measure the pane of glass and not the outer dimensions of the window frame.
Measuring only once
A pane of glass can vary slightly. Measure both the width and the height in at least two places.
Choosing the largest measurement
Always use the shortest measured width and height, so that the product fits within the pane of glass.
Deducting clearance yourself
Provide the exact glass size. Do not deduct a few millimetres from the measurement yourself.
Mixing up measurements
Always write the width first and then the height: W × H, both in millimetres.
Measuring several panes as one window
Measure each separate pane of glass individually. One Stick & Fit product is ordered per pane of glass.
Write it down straight away
Work with a fixed measurement list
Give each window or pane of glass a clear number. Note the shortest width and height immediately after the check measurement.

Check before ordering
- Each pane of glass has its own number.
- All measurements are in millimetres.
- Width and height have been measured at least twice.
- The shortest measurements have been noted.
- Nothing has been deducted from the measurement.
- With a trickle vent, the height has been measured to its underside.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about measuring for Stick & Fit
Should I deduct a few millimetres from the measurement myself?
No. Provide the exact, shortest glass size in millimetres. Do not deduct any clearance yourself.
What do I do if two measurements differ?
Always use the smallest measured width and the smallest measured height. Then check these measurements again.
Do I include the rubber seal?
Measure the visible glass size from glass edge to glass edge. The window frame is not part of the order size. Make sure the tape lies tight against the edges of the pane of glass.
How do I measure with a trickle vent?
Measure the width as normal in two places. Measure the height on the left and right, from the bottom edge of the glass to just below the underside of the trickle vent.
Can I measure several panes of glass at once?
No. Measure and note each pane of glass separately. Even two panes side by side can differ from each other by a few millimetres.
Which tape measure is best to use?
A sturdy metal tape measure is the most practical. A model with a digital display can be handy when the measurement is hard to read in a corner, but even then, check every measurement twice.
