Check the opening corners with a square angle. If they were perfectly squared, go to step #2. If the opening was not perfectly squared, then measure the height as shown, then measure the width as shown. The correct width of the opening will be line AB.
STEP 2
CLEAR OPENING measurement: 1. Measure the width 3 times as shown. Deduct 1″ from the SHORTEST value. That will be your window WIDTH. 2. Measure the height 3 times as shown. Deduct 1″ from the SHORTEST value. That will be your window HEIGHT.
EXISTING FRAME measurement (the frame will be removed later): 1. Measure the width 3 times as shown. Add 1″ to the SHORTEST value. That will be your new window WIDTH. 2. Measure the height 3 times as shown. Add 1″ to the SHORTEST value. That will be your new window HEIGHT.
