Measuring for replacement windows is a crucial step in the window replacement process. Accurate measurements ensure that the new windows fit properly, operate smoothly, and provide the desired level of energy efficiency. There are several key steps involved in measuring for replacement windows:
First, determine the type of windows you have. This includes the style (such as double-hung, casement, or awning), the number of panes, and the overall size. You will also need to measure the width and height of the window opening, as well as the depth of the window frame. It is important to measure the opening, not the existing window sash, as the opening will be slightly larger than the sash.
