Width
Step 1. Take 3 horizontal measurements of the window frame for the rough opening width.
- Using a tape measure, measure the width from the inside of the jamb on one side of the window to the inside jamb on the other side of the window; the jamb is one of the vertical fixed-frame pieces on each side of the window frame
- Repeat this step at the bottom, middle, and top of the existing installed window
- Record the shortest measurement
Height
Step 2. Take 3 vertical measurements of the window frame for the rough opening height.
- Measure the height from the head of the window (top fixed-frame piece) to the windowsill (bottom fixed-frame piece)
- As with the width, take three measurements: down the left side, right side and the middle
- Record the shortest measurement — this ensures that the new window will fit
Depth
Step 3. Measure the depth of the window’s opening.
- Finding the correct depth is important because some windows will be too deep to fit into a replacement window opening.
- Run a tape measure from the outside of the frame to the inside and take the measurement from edge to edge of the window frame.
- Do this in several locations around the window frame and rely on the smallest measurement once again as your final dimension.
* Tip: If you can not open your window, measure the depth on each side of the glass and add them together. Then add the thickness of your window glass pane. A single window glass pane is usually 1/8″ or 3mm in thickness.
