Measuring for replacement aluminum sliding windows requires precision to ensure a proper fit. Follow these steps to get accurate measurements:
1. Tools Needed:
- Tape measure
- Pen and paper (or a digital note app)
- Level (optional)
2. Measure the Width:
- Inside frame: Measure the width at three points—top, middle, and bottom—from one side jamb to the other.
- Record all three measurements, and use the smallest one. This ensures the window will fit even if the frame isn’t perfectly square.
3. Measure the Height:
- Inside frame: Measure the height at three points—left, center, and right—from the top head jamb to the window sill (or the bottom of the opening).
- Record the three measurements, and use the smallest one.
4. Check for Square:
- Use a level or measure the diagonals to check if the window opening is square. Measure from the top left corner to the bottom right, then top right to bottom left. The measurements should be the same. If not, you may need to adjust your replacement window or consult with a professional.
5. Depth Measurement:
- Measure the depth of the window frame to ensure it will accommodate the new window. Most sliding windows require a minimum depth of about 3.25 inches.
6. Allowances:
- Make sure to allow a small clearance (typically 1/8 inch) on both the height and width measurements to accommodate for installation ease.
Once you have your measurements, you can provide them to the manufacturer or window supplier for ordering the correct size.
