Configure Windows and Doors With Code-Ready Accuracy
A window and door configurator lets dealers and builders specify exact sizes, frame material, glazing package, hardware, and grilles while the rules engine returns the U-factor, checks egress and tempered-glass requirements, and prices every unit, so quotes are buildable and compliant the first time.
Every Fenestration Option, Validated
The exact choices a window and door buyer specifies
Sizes & Operating Types
Configure rough opening and unit dimensions for single-hung, double-hung, casement, awning, slider, picture, and patio door units within validated min/max ranges.
Glazing & IGU
Double or triple glazing, low-E coatings, argon or krypton fill, warm-edge spacers, laminated, tempered, and obscure glass, all priced and validated by assembly.
Frame Materials
Vinyl, fiberglass, aluminum, aluminum-clad wood, and composite frames with interior and exterior color and finish options.
Energy Ratings
Live U-factor, SHGC, and visible transmittance with ENERGY STAR climate-zone and energy-code checks for each glazing build.
Hardware
Lock styles, multipoint locks, handle and finish options, hinges, sills, thresholds, and screen types matched to the operating type.
Grilles & Aesthetics
Grille pattern, profile, and placement, between-the-glass or simulated divided lites, brickmould, and casing options.
Why Window and Door Manufacturers Configure
Fewer rejected orders, faster dealer quotes, fewer warranty claims
Code Compliance Built In
Egress, tempered-glass, and energy-code rules are checked at selection time, so non-compliant units never reach production.
Instant Energy Data
U-factor and SHGC update with every glazing change, helping builders hit project performance targets without a callback.
Production-Ready Orders
Each configuration produces a clean cut list and glass order, eliminating manual re-entry and size errors on the line.
Dealer & Contractor Self-Service
Pair with a visual product configurator so contractors see and price units in the field.

Frequently asked questions
A window and door configurator is software that lets dealers and builders specify exact unit sizes, frame material, glazing package, hardware, and grilles, then returns an accurate price and energy rating. It enforces fenestration rules such as maximum sash size, egress minimums, and valid glass-on-frame combinations so every order is buildable and code-compliant.
Yes. As the buyer selects the IGU build, low-E coating, gas fill, and spacer, the configurator returns the resulting U-factor, SHGC, and visible transmittance for the assembly. It can flag whether the configuration meets ENERGY STAR climate-zone thresholds or a specific project's energy code requirement before the order is submitted.
It does. The rules engine checks clear-opening width, height, and net area against egress requirements for bedrooms and applies tempered-glass rules near doors, floors, and wet areas. Out-of-range sizes and non-compliant configurations are blocked or flagged at selection time, preventing rejected orders and warranty exposure downstream.
