Ordering Instructions
Step #1: Input the visible glass area for the sash you need to replace. The visible glass area is part of the glass you can actually look through. A small portion of your sash insulated glass is tucked behind the wood parts of your sash; do not include these portions of your glass when measuring the visible glass area.
Step #2: Choose whether your sash has decorative grilles.
This is an example of a sash with no decorative grilles.
Step #2 (continued): Choose whether your sash has decorative grilles.
This is an example of a sash with
grilles between the glass (GBG). GBG bars are located inside the insulated glass.
Step #2 (continued): Choose whether your sash has decorative grilles.
This is an example of a sash with simulated divided lite (SDL). SDL bars are located on the interior and exterior of the insulated glass.
Step #3: After completing Steps #1 and #2, add your sash to the cart. You will be asked for additional information after adding it the cart (decorative grille configuration, SDL bar width, exterior finish options, etc.)

If your existing sash has dimensions listed in the drop down menus above, it is likely that you have a BiltBest casement window. While BiltBest occasionally manufactured custom size casement windows, the vast majority of their casement windows were one of these standard sizes. BiltBest sized all of their casement windows based upon the glass area, not the sash or frame dimensions.
In addition to making sure that your sash’s visible glass area (daylight opening) is listed at the top of this page, you can also check your sash’s exterior and interior dimensions using this chart: BestClad Casement Dimension Schedule.pdf
If your sash is fixed (no operator handle and no lock/keeper), look for birch buttons around the interior of your window. BiltBest used these birch buttons to cover the screws that fixed the sash in place.
