MatrixKozijn came into existence after 25 years of

knowledge and experience in the field of computerizing
within the windowframe industry. With the help of
windowframe manufacturers it has been developed into an
extremely convenient and flexible software program.

With this program MatrixKozijn meets the extremely high

requirements of window frame manufacturers to a software
package, developed into a high-tech industry in which
computers and CNC are indispensable.

So in case you want to purchase a flexible and convenient

software package, there is only one that meets all these

7. The selected text dimension

If you start with a new brand, follow the steps below:

1. Fill in the brand name and the number.

2. Draw the shape of the window frame.
3. Select a brand template, through which the vertical
and horizontal beams, nodes and edge finishing will
be assigned automatically.
4. Enter dimensioning, height and width. (inner
dimension and /or outer dimension)
5. Enter windowpane content, windows, doors, panels,
etc.
 Purchase doors
In order to complete these drawings Matrix went for the
option to enter purchase doors of different suppliers in our
file. The drawings of these doors are DXF files, so any
supplier can deliver these drawings.

Template
These data can be saved in a template. In this way you can
choose your own specific template for every situation.

Further, of course, it is possible to print every separate Certificates

Calculation
After a number of changes in the job, you can choose
between a number of calculation methods. For example one
price calculation per dozen or one for the whole job. But

materials, man hours and wages is within the bounds of

possibility.
Nowadays there is a tendency in the building industry to use
other material than wood for horizontal beams. Anticipating
this new tendency, MatrixKozijn offers the functionality to
enter these profiles as well. Apart from these profiles it is
also possible to assign the treshhold extensions. In this way
front drawings give a clear picture of what customers can
expect.
Series within a job
The option series enables you to decide whether you want
to calculate the entire job or only part of it. In this way you
work with different types of series that can be calculated
separately, for example indoor and outdoor window frames.
Man hour coefficients
By means of man hour coefficients you can influence the
estimated hours per window frame brand and you can indicate
which cost place should be affected. In this way the coefficient
influences the final price. Further, you are free to choose out
of several general cost types per job.
Since a long-term calculation has been occurring frequently,
it is necessary that for example m3 prices can be saved
within the job. MatrixKozijn offers this functionality as well,
which means that you are able to call up prices you used in
former calculations.
The same goes for man-hours, these expenses can be saved
as well so they will be available at any time. It is also possible
to assign a man-hour coefficient per cost-center. The man-
hour coefficient can influence the concerning cost-center in
a negative or positive way.
Offer
Finally, when the calculation has been finished and can be
used to make an offer, MatrixKozijn offers the functionality
to produce it automatically in MS Word®. Here all relevant
subjects are described automatically and the offer can be
completed with the front drawing. Every offer can be
changed in accordance to one’s own view, since it is an
unrestricted Word document.
Shop planning
In MatrixKozijn shop planning is defined directly during the
entry, because in this stage you get a complete picture of
the window frame profiles and cavity latches. To put it
straight: the shop planner can simply take over the
calculator’s job. Every window frame brand can be modified
without any difficulties. In MatrixKozijn everything can be
changed, also the geometry. A vertical beam more or less
shouldn’t present any problems.
 Names cross section
A window frame cross section has got a fixed name, so it
can be recognized at the shop floor it is also necessary for
CNC. Also for this situation MatrixKozijn came with a
simple solution. Since they have worked with semi window
frame cross sections, every half window frame dependent
on timber dimensioning, gets its own fixed name. This name
can be found in the database.
Flexible
Since our window frame profiles consist of two parts
namely the edge- and planeside, you can select one of them
during the entry. The same goes for cavity latches, here you
can choose between the inside and the outside. When a
cavity latch hits the side of the window frame edge it is not
approved by the program and therefore the positioning of
the cavity latch will be cancelled, no matter where the latch
will be placed. You can design the outside of the cavity latch
yourself.

Shop planning reports

Every window frame manufacturer has his own preferences
concerning the management of his production department.
By using several reports Matrix goes along with their
desires.

Apart from the fact that several cross sections can be

composed with only a small number of components, they all
have their own dimensioning as well. You can position your
own variable. If you change the timber dimensioning the
figure will be modified automatically.
