Survey the existing assembly

Identify framing or masonry, header, utilities, water history, exterior cladding, interior finishes and counter conditions before demolition.

Separate opening enlargement from product

Structural work, engineering, permits, temporary protection and finish repair may exceed the window installation scope.

Coordinate the counter early

New stone or solid-surface work often needs final frame and sill details before templates and fabrication.

Protect the occupied building

Weather protection, dust control, security, kitchen downtime, access and debris removal belong in the installation plan.

Turn the guide into a real opening schedule.

Keep every dimension, option, pressure, document, and delivery note connected to the same opening ID.

Start the configuration

Questions about this topic

Can the new pass-through use the old window opening?

Sometimes, but the final frame size, sill, counter, structure and clearances must be checked. A larger clear opening may require structural changes.
