I'm researching materials for a future extension and I'm looking at standard sized windows.
Considering a house brick size is 215mm in length with 10mm joints I'm struggling to understand how a 610 X 1010mm is available as a standard size from places such as Wickes.
How is this width an option within cutting up bricks?
Assuming a 5mm gap shouldn't this window be 675mm? (5 + 215 + 10 + 215 + 10 + 215 + 5)
I'm hoping it's something I'm missing, for example is this size the size of the glass only? If so, I'm surprised they aren't listing the entire casement measurements too.
