The question of how to measure replacement windows can be
answered in a few ways. This is because there are a variety of
window types available and also the different types of houses.
Below we will go over some basic information that will help you
measure your windows properly.
Measuring replacement windows before installation begins is
very important to the whole project. This comes first before
you purchase and before thinking about removing the old
windows. I can't stress enough how important getting the right
measurement can be so we can avoid any major problems later
on.
As an example, if you order vinyl windows most likely they
will be custom made and cannot be returned if they don't
fit.
One fundamental when measuring or purchasing windows is they
come in 1/4" increments. This is important especially for vinyl
windows because you may not find the exact fit you are looking
for so you will need to pick the size that comes as close to
your dimensions as possible. It is import and to have the right
skill set to install and seal the windows properly and should
be left to professionals like Window
Replacement Pros.
Measuring windows in three easy
steps
Let's get started measuring your windows using these simple
steps below.
- In order to measure the width you must raise the lower
sash and then measure from jamb to jamb. Do the
measurements in 3 places for example start in the middle,
near the top and then down close to the bottom.
- Now for the height, a simple measurement from the head
jamb up to the sloped sill. This is just the part where it
meets the inside of the window stool.
- Be carefully not to make the mistake of assuming that
all of your windows are the same. Measure each window
individually and keep the values separate..
