What do window and door sizes represent?

Each set of construction drawings typically uses a generic window sizing system that does not apply to any particular brand of windows. For example, a common size seen on our plans is 2860. This is a window that is 32″ wide and 72″ tall (2′-” x 6′-0″). There is also a standard system used to identify the size of doors. A door labeled 2868 is a standard 6′-8″ tall door that is 2′-8″ wide.
