Tools Needed:
- Tape measure
- Notepad and pen/pencil
- Level
- Ladder (if measuring windows at height)
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Measure the Width:
- Inside Measurement: Measure the width of the window opening at three points: top, middle, and bottom. Use the smallest measurement for the window width to ensure it fits the narrowest part of the opening.
- Top Width: Measure from jamb to jamb at the top of the window.
- Middle Width: Measure across the middle of the window opening.
- Bottom Width: Measure from jamb to jamb at the bottom of the window.
- Record the smallest of the three measurements. This is your window width.
2. Measure the Height:
- Inside Measurement: Measure the height of the window opening at three points: left, middle, and right. Use the smallest measurement for the window height.
- Left Height: Measure from the sill to the top of the window opening on the left side.
- Middle Height: Measure from the sill to the top of the window opening in the middle.
- Right Height: Measure from the sill to the top of the window opening on the right side.
- Record the smallest of the three measurements. This is your window height.
3. Measure the Depth:
- Measure the depth of the window frame. This is particularly important for PVC windows to ensure they fit within the existing frame or opening.
- Measure the depth from the inside trim to the outside trim or stop.
Additional Tips:
- Square the Window Frame: Check if the window frame is square by measuring diagonally from corner to corner. The measurements should be the same. If they are not, the window is out of square, and you may need to make adjustments during installation.
- Subtract for Fit: Subtract 1/4 inch from the smallest width and height measurements to allow for fitting and insulation. This space will ensure the window can be easily installed and properly insulated.
- Consider the Sill Angle: If your window has a sloped sill, measure the angle and make sure the replacement window is compatible or can be adjusted to fit.
Recording and Ordering:
- Carefully note all measurements and double-check them for accuracy.
- Provide these measurements to the window manufacturer or supplier when ordering your replacement PVC windows.
By following these steps and tips, you can ensure that your replacement PVC windows are measured accurately for a perfect fit, avoiding the common pitfalls that can lead to improper fitting and installation issues.
