Measuring your windows for a perfect fit with products from Continental Window Fashions is an important step to ensure functionality and aesthetics. First, gather the necessary tools, including a steel measuring tape, a notepad, and a pencil. Begin by measuring the width of the window opening. For an inside mount, measure the width at three points: the top, middle, and bottom of the window. Record the narrowest measurement, as this will be your reference. For outside mounts, measure the desired width, ideally adding extra width on each side for better light coverage and enhanced appearance.
Next, measure the height in the same manner, again taking measurements at three different points: the left side, center, and right side, and noting the longest measurement for inside mounts. For outside mounts, add a few extra inches to the desired height depending on the desired coverage and installation method.
It is also advisable to consider any obstructions, such as handles or window cranks, that may affect the installation. For further guidance and detailed instructions, visiting the current web page for Continental Window Fashions would be beneficial.
