Window 3D configurator: buyers specify their windows and see the price at once
A window quote is usually a table of codes that only the salesperson understands. The buyer cannot see which sash opens, how a dark woodgrain looks from outside, or why triple glazing costs more. A window 3D configurator turns that table into a model the buyer can turn, open and compare.
Short answer
What is a window 3D configurator?
A window 3D configurator is a tool on a manufacturer's website where the buyer enters the size and picks profile, glazing unit, sash layout, opening type and colour on each side, and the model and price update instantly. Trimata connects it to your pricing, so each enquiry arrives ready to cost.

What buyers ask before ordering windows
- Is triple glazing worth it if the house is already insulated?
- Apart from price, what is the real difference between PVC, timber and aluminium?
- Can I have a dark colour outside and white inside?
- Which sash should open and which should be fixed?
- Will a large sliding door stay airtight in winter?
- Are sills, insect screens and fitting included?
What buyers can choose in the configurator
The buyer starts with the opening size, and every later choice is limited to what your profile system can actually make.
| Choice | Options | Why show it in 3D |
|---|---|---|
| Material and profile | PVC, timber, aluminium, timber with aluminium cladding, profiles of different depth | The model shows frame depth and shape, so the difference between profiles is visible, not just a number on the quote. |
| Size and layout | width and height, one, two or three sashes, transom, top light | The buyer sees the proportions straight away and how the layout will read on the facade. |
| Opening type | fixed, side hung, tilt and turn, lift and slide, parallel sliding | An animated sash shows where it swings and whether it will catch on curtains or furniture. |
| Glazing unit | double or triple glazing, solar control, obscure, toughened or laminated safety glass | The U value and price difference sit next to the model, so the choice rests on a figure, not a guess. |
| Colour | white, woodgrain foils, RAL colours, a different colour inside and outside | The buyer turns the model to compare both faces instead of choosing from a small swatch. |
| Glazing bars | none, stuck on the glass, between the panes, different patterns | Glazing bars change the style of the whole house, so they are worth seeing before every window is ordered. |
| Hardware | handle colour, locking handle, concealed hinges, trickle vent | The small details buyers usually phone about are visible on the model. |
Add-ons that raise the order value
Windows sell with insect screens, roller shutters, external and internal sills, safety glass, trickle vents and fitting. Each costs little on its own, but across a whole house the total adds up, so buyers often put them off for later.
Roller shutters are a good example. Buyers worry that the box above the window will look bulky. When the model shows where it sits and how much space it takes, the worry goes, or they choose a concealed box instead. Sills are similar: once the buyer sees the colour and depth against the window, they get ordered together.
When all add-ons sit in one configuration, you receive an enquiry for the full set, not just the frames that later need a separate quote.
Which 3D format suits windows
| Format | Fit | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| 3D configurator | Good fit | When a private buyer orders a few windows and wants to see opening, colour and price on their own. |
| 3D view with AR | Weaker fit | A window sits inside a wall, so AR helps mainly with large sliding systems onto a terrace. |
| Renders and video | Good fit | When you need to show a profile cross section, the layers of a glazing unit or a sliding system in motion. |
| B2B quote builder | Strong fit | When enquiries come from builders and architects with dozens of positions and the reply must be a PDF quote. |
