How to Measure for Replacement Windows

How to Measure for a Replacement Window

Accurate and precise measurements at the beginning of your replacement project are essential to ensure a proper fit and seal for the window frame. Listed below are the steps to follow when measuring for replacement windows.

Familiarize Yourself with the Parts of a Window

Before taking measurements, familiarize yourself with the different parts of a window, including the frame, sash, and jamb. Understanding the components will help you identify where to measure and ensure accuracy!

Check Existing Windows for Square, Plumb, and Level

Inspect your existing windows to determine if they are square, plumb, and level in their current frame. Use a carpenter’s square and a level to check for any deviations from the vertical and horizontal planes. This will help you identify any structural issues around the window sill that may need to be addressed during the replacement process.

Window Measurements for Width, Height, and Depth

Next, assess the width, height, and depth of the existing window frame accurately with a tape measure. Measure the width at the top, middle, and bottom of the window, and use the smallest width measurement to ensure a proper and snug fit. For height measurements, measure from the top of the sill to the bottom of the head jamb. Lastly, measure the depth of the window opening from the inside of the jamb to the outside of the trim.
