Porch Window Measurements

MEASURING FOR PORCH WINDOWS and SCREENS ONLY (no walls)

The openings for your Porch Windows should be square for the windows to fit best. If you force the windows into a non-square opening they will not function properly. Our Porch Window design with an outer lip (outside mount window) provides some leeway for slightly out of square openings as long as the window is not forced in and is properly shimmed before screwing it into place. Any gaps can be covered on the inside with a moulding. An inside mount window has no lip, therefore, if the opening is out of square, moulding may be required on the outside as well as the inside.

When taking measurements for your Porch Windows it is advisable to take the vertical measurements on the left and the right side and the horizontal measurements at the top and the bottom. In addition one should measure the two diagonals. This will ensure that when we ship you the windows they will fit in the opening.
