The rough opening is the hole that the window is installed in. To measure accurately, any existing window should be partially or completely uninstalled.
Wall thickness refers to the distance between the exterior and interior walls of a structure. In some cases, like an RV, the thickness can be several inches and in others like the cabin wall a boat may simply be the thickness of the metal skin. Measuring this distance is vital when installing a window, as it determines the size of the interior window frame, or trim ring, needed for proper installation.
Box dimensions, often referred to as a block size, is an easy measurement that can be attributed to a complex shape for the purpose of a quotation.

First introduced in 1972, The Solarcool® Bronze reflective coating is a metallic oxide that is applied during the floating or cooking part of glass manufacturing. The glass floats on a tin canister into a heater under a controlled nitrogen and hydrogen atmosphere. Once the glass begins to cool, the surface is heated & polished, removing any excess blemishes. The glass ribbon is then transported to an annealing or cooling layer where The Solarcool® Bronze coating becomes permanent and uniform, allowing the glass to be heat treated to satisfy increased strength or safety glazing requirements.
The metallic sheen on the exterior coated piece of glass will also function as a layer of UV protection, reflecting nearly 40% of solar heat away from your application. Creating an indoor space that will stay cooler & brighter much longer, in comparison to any uncoated glass.
Extra Care is Required
- Wash periodically using only soft, clean, grit-free cloths and mild soaps or detergents. Avoid acidic cleaning solutions, fluorine salts, hydrogen producing compounds, or abrasive cleaners as these may damage your new windows exterior coating.
- Immediately after washing, the entire surface should be rinsed with clean water, and a soft squeegee, blower, or microfiber should be used to remove excess rinse water.
- If your application is positioned where weathering can be a risk, it should be washed more often to remove deposits that may exist on the glass.
