How to Measure for a Pergola, Guillotine Glass or Zip Screen: Step by Step

1. Measure the width

Measure the side parallel to the wall from left to right. For a pergola or glass roof take the total width the system will occupy; for guillotine glass or a zip screen take the clear opening between posts or walls.

2. Measure the projection (depth)

Measure outwards from the wall to where the system will reach. The LUMEN glass roof projects up to 4 m; for deeper spaces a bioclimatic pergola is recommended.

3. Measure the height

Measure from the floor to where the system will fix to the wall (above a window, below a beam). For guillotine glass and zip screens take the clear height from floor to the top beam. On sloping floors, measure both ends.

4. Check floor and wall

Note whether the posts will stand on concrete, timber decking or soil, and whether the wall is brick, concrete or externally insulated. This decides the fixing details.

5. Take photos

Photograph the space from the front, both sides and the wall fixing point. If you can, include a photo with the tape measure visible.

6. Send them

Enter the sizes in the quote module or send them with the photos on WhatsApp. You can also see the system at the same size in the Combination Studio.
