Take a look at our Measurement Guidelines below that contain "how-to-measure" information for all Architectural Grille perforated and bar grille products, making it easier for you to give us accurate measurements when ordering your desired grille.
Measure to determine your Opening Size: A = Top to Bottom (Opening Width) and B = Left to Right (Opening Length). Watch our "How To Measure a Bar Grille" video above to get more specific instructions. Our fabrication specialists can assist you in determining the perfect fit for your project.
Measurements should match the width and length of your opening’s “INSIDE space”. It is recommended to allow for clearance.
NOTE: Grilles are manufactured to the size given, and WILL NOT be automatically undersized.
Determine OPENING SIZE = Measure the INSIDE of your opening (A) = Width and (B) = Length
- Determine CLEARANCE ALLOWANCE needed (0.125" recommended per side)
- Determine GRILLE SIZE = Opening Size minus Clearance Allowance
- Choose Bar and Frame Style (eg. AG 10 B Frame)
- Choose Material and Finish - determine need for Screw Holes*, Tabs,Curve, Door, etc

Determine your Border Size: E = Left to Right Border and F = Top to Bottom Border and specify Overall Grille Size: A = Grille Top to Bottom (Grille Width) and B = Grille Left to Right (Grille Length). It is recommended to specify a large enough border to completely cover your rough opening. Watch our "How To Measure a Perforated Grille" video above to get more specific instructions. Our fabrication specialists can assist you in determining the perfect fit for your project.

NOTE: Grilles are manufactured to the size given, and WILL NOT be automatically undersized.
- Determine OPENING SIZE = Measure the INSIDE of your opening: (C) = Opening Width and (D) = Opening Length
- Determine BORDER SIZE (amount of solid material around the perforated pattern): (E) = Left to Right Border and (F) = Top to Bottom Border. Note that border size is critical so unfinished opening edges are not visible through the grille pattern.
- Determine OVERALL GRILLE SIZE: (A) = Grille Top to Bottom (Grille Width) and (B) = Grille Left to Right (Grille Length)
- Choose your Pattern Style and Pattern Size/Dimension
- Choose Method of Fastening (Screw Holes*, Stiffeners, Angle)
