Stängningshöjd

Stängningshöjd, literally translated as "closing height" in English, refers to a concept primarily used in the context of window and door installations. It denotes the final, fully closed position of a window sash or a door leaf. This measurement is crucial for ensuring a proper seal and functionality.

When a window is closed, the stängningshöjd is the vertical dimension from the bottom of the sash to the top of the sash. Similarly, for a door, it refers to the height of the door leaf when it is fully shut and in its resting position within the frame. This measurement is important during manufacturing to guarantee that components fit together correctly and that the sealing mechanisms, such as weatherstripping, engage effectively.

In the installation process, installers use the stängningshöjd to verify that the window or door has been correctly fitted within its opening. Any deviation from the expected stängningshöjd can indicate issues with the frame, the sash or leaf itself, or the mounting. This can lead to problems like drafts, water ingress, or difficulty in operating the window or door. Precise adherence to the specified stängningshöjd contributes to the overall energy efficiency and security of a building.
