Window, door and partition configurators

There are no standard solutions in the production of windows, doors and interior partitions - each order has dozens of variables: dimensions, profiles, fittings, control method, color, glazing. All this must not only be taken into account, but also agreed with the client, accurately transferred to production and recorded in the commercial offer.

The online window configurator solves this problem systematically. It allows you to model the product in real time, see the result even before the calculation stage, automate the creation of specifications and synchronize with internal systems. Window and door manufacturers work with individual orders, custom configurations and complex production logic, where a mistake at the approval stage can cost time, resources and reputation. The window, door and partition configurator turns the selection process into an accurate, controlled and visual scenario.

What is a door and window configurator?

When a customer chooses windows or doors, they are not interested in studying article numbers and technical tables. The customer wants to see how the finished structure will look, how it will fit into the facade or interior, and how it will generally change depending on the color, shape or method of opening. Configurators or online configurators are digital tools that allow you to create window and door structures interactively, with full visualization and accurate technical parameters.

• The 2D online window configurator allows you to create an accurate product drawing - specify all geometric parameters, section sizes, sash configuration, opening schemes, profile type and other technical details, as well as add fittings and accessories. Such a tool is especially useful for specialists responsible for the accuracy of design documentation.
• The 3D door, window and partition configurator takes visualization to the next level by adding volume, color, shadow, profile texture, type of glazing, environment (e.g., embedding in a facade or room) and other visual details. This is important not only for customers who want to see their finished order before development begins, but also for managers who need to quickly agree on non-standard solutions.

For the window and door business, an online configurator acts as a connecting link between a commercial offer and a finished product. In essence, it is a digital layout and diagram of a plastic window or other product that can be immediately used to calculate costs, form specifications, and transfer data to production or logistics systems.

Which business areas need a configurator for plastic windows, doors and partitions?

• manufacturers of window and door structures – for accurate and accelerated design;
• dealers and retail outlets – for independent order creation with up-to-date logic and prices;
• installation organizations and measurers - for quick calculations and coordination of solutions at the site;
• online stores and showrooms – so that customers can place orders and send requests directly on the website.

Why do you need a program for designing doors and windows?

3D and 2D configurators are changing the logic of the industry and contributing to its modernization. Modeling doors and windows in an online configurator makes the process of purchasing products more transparent, convenient and efficient for all participants: consumers, suppliers and manufacturers.

Benefits for customers

• Visualization of the result. In the window configurator, the user sees what his window, door or partition will look like in the selected combination, color and configuration - without technical drawings and complex descriptions.
• Convenience and accessibility. The online window configurator is available anytime, anywhere, with an Internet connection. The buyer does not have to visit an office or showroom at the initial stage of selection.
• Preliminary cost calculation. The program for designing windows, doors and interior partitions can perform a preliminary cost calculation of the selected configuration of the object. This helps customers stay within their budget and immediately see how design changes affect the price of the product.
• Information about order details in the configurator allows buyers to independently study available parameters and elements, prices, additional features, and make informed and quick decisions.
• Data entry control. The buyer can change and personally check the design parameters multiple times. This approach significantly reduces the likelihood of errors when forming an order and transferring it to production.

Benefits for business

• Sales growth. A convenient and interactive tool helps companies attract more potential customers. Price transparency and the ability to personalize increase trust and encourage purchases.
• Reducing the workload on staff. The online door and window configurator significantly reduces the amount of routine work for staff, as customers come with an already formed idea of their order and even with a preliminary calculation.
• Analyze data on preferences and trends. With the program, companies can collect information about customer preferences, popular configurations, and trends. The data can be used to improve product offerings, marketing strategies, and optimize production processes.
• Increasing customer and partner loyalty through innovative and convenient service. The development and implementation of a 3D configurator for windows, doors, and partitions demonstrates the company's willingness to invest in efficiency, customer service, and digital transformation.
• Minimization of errors in orders due to incorrect data entry thanks to process automation in the program.
• Expanding sales geography. Designing windows online in the configurator allows you to serve customers from different regions without opening new physical branches.

How the online window and door configurator works

The functionality of the configurator is directly related to the production logic and product specifics. Each direction has its own characteristics, which we take into account during development.

1. The window configurator can perform the following functions:

• design of wooden and plastic windows - individual assembly of the product for a specific opening (determination of the height and width of the sashes, number of sections);
• selection of material for profile systems (PVC, aluminum and wood), double-glazed windows, handles, hinges and fittings;
• visualization of laminate, glazing options, mosquito nets;
• automatic preliminary cost calculation based on selected parameters;
• choice of opening scheme: rotary, sliding, pendulum, tilt-and-turn;
• integration with dealer platforms and internal systems.

1. Features of the 2D and 3D online door configurator:

• door design – entrance and interior doors;
• choice of the type of canvas, glazing, trims, platbands, handles and hinges;
• working with single- and double-leaf systems, sliding mechanisms;
• binding to collections and assembly rules.

1. The following functionality can be implemented in online configurators for interior partitions:

• design of glass and metal-plastic partitions;
• modeling of sectional and modular structures, including those with complex geometry (corners, multi-section blocks);
• choice of filling: glass, panels, combined solutions;
• visualization of the object on the facade.

Regardless of the type of product, the window and door configurator allows you to model the structure in two-dimensional and three-dimensional projection, visualize colors, textures and types of filling, check the correctness of the assembly from the point of view of production technology, automatically calculate the cost and form the specification. If necessary, it easily integrates with CRM, ERP and other systems, becoming part of the digital end-to-end process.

Stages of developing a configurator for windows/doors/partitions

Developing an online configurator of windows, doors and partitions involves comprehensive work on a digital product model. To create a functional and convenient configurator that will meet your technologies, tasks and customer expectations, we use a phased approach.

Requirements analysis and planning

Before developing a configurator for the window and door business, our team determines the implementation goals and program capabilities, studies pricing rules, discounts, and package logic. It is also necessary to collect information about the target audience and expected scenarios in order to lay the right architecture for the future product. Based on this data, a detailed technical specification is formed, which indicates the functionality of the configurator, technological stack, and other project details.

Scripting and logic development

The online plastic window configurator should look modern and effectively guide the user to the correct order. At this stage, we develop the logic of virtual product assembly taking into account the technical capabilities of production: from opening schemes to material combinations and compatibility restrictions. Next, we create algorithms for calculating costs, checking technical feasibility, and selecting dependent options (for example, when a certain type of hardware is available only for a certain sash width). We configure tools for generating specifications, CPs, and drawings.

Database settings

Data can come from an autonomous database or directly from your system. If you already have an ERP, CRM or internal accounting system, we integrate the window configurator with it to receive information about the range, prices, balances and production rules. If there are no such systems, we create our own database to store all directories, parameters, calculation coefficients, configurations and orders. This allows you to ensure stable and independent operation of the configurator, even in MVP mode.

UX/UI and prototype creation

After working out the scenarios, we develop a visually appealing design – convenient and intuitive for all users. Next, we create interface prototypes: we lay down the interaction logic, the order of parameter selection, the display of 2D and 3D models, calculation and visualization blocks. Then we demonstrate it to the customer and make adjustments before the start of the project implementation.

Front-end development: visualization and interactivity of 2D/3D models

At this stage, a user interface with visualization of products in two- or three-dimensional projection is implemented, and correct display on any devices is also ensured. Import or creation of 3D models during the design of plastic windows online is carried out in popular formats (GLTF, FBX). Modern libraries and engines are used for display in the browser - for example, Three.js or Babylon.js. Dynamic updating of visualization is provided using JavaScript or TypeScript in conjunction with WebGL and Canvas, and if necessary, more advanced tools such as Unity or WebGPU are used.

Testing on real scenarios

Before implementing the window and door configurator into the customer's platform, it is comprehensively tested: the correctness of calculations, visualizations, behavior when entering limit values, and operation on different devices are checked in order to fix bugs before going into production.

Configurator implementation and user training

At this stage, the configurator is integrated with the company's website or management system. We install and configure the online window configurator and check its correct operation. If necessary, we train your employees in working with the configurator and provide technical support, including functionality updates, maintenance and troubleshooting.

Program support and development

After launch, the configurator is monitored and feedback is collected on how the program for designing plastic windows works in real conditions. Upon request, we provide technical support and maintenance: we update data (prices, assortment), improve logic, add new functions and integrations as the business and industry develop.
