vensterlengte

Vensterlengte is a Dutch term that refers to the length dimension of a window unit. It is a size specification used in the procurement, fabrication, and installation of windows, particularly in catalogs or for non-standard shapes. In everyday Dutch carpentry, the most common dimensions are height (hoogte) and width (breedte), while vensterlengte is a more context-dependent measurement.

Measurement and interpretation: Vensterlengte is typically measured along the longest axis of the window unit, following the surface of the frame. For rectangular windows, the vensterlengte may correspond to either the vertical or horizontal dimension depending on how the product is described by the supplier. For elongated, skylight, or custom-shaped openings, vensterlengte often denotes the main length of the unit.

Applications: The term is most often found in catalogs, quotations, and fabrication sheets where a window’s length needs to be specified separately from its height and width. It can be relevant for long glazing elements, clerestory windows, or other non-standard installations.

Considerations: Because vensterlengte is not universally standardized, its exact meaning can vary by manufacturer or region. Always consult the specific product data sheet or installer to confirm how vensterlengte is defined and how it relates to other dimensions such as hoogte and breedte.
