How to Measure
Follow these steps:
- From outside the window, measure the width of the sash from outside edge to outside edge, and the height of the sash from top edge to the bottom edge.
- Do not measure the glass opening or weatherstripping.
- Some wood sashes may bow over time. You should measure in different places and use the most common measurement you get.
- On cladded sashes, it is okay to measure from edge to edge of the cladding. We will size the wood frame to accept the cladding.
- To measure double hung sashes, it is sometimes easier to tilt the sash in toward you inside the house to get a better measurement of the exterior side.
- Use your width and height to enter in the corresponding size ranges on the sash quote section to get your quote. These exact measurements will be required at order stage.
- We accept edge to edge, net sash sizes only.
- No glass openings please.
- Take all measurements from the exterior side of the sash.
- We need measurements of each upper and lower sash for double hungs.
- Measurements are required for all quoting and order requests.
I don't see what I need
The window industry is complicated enough! Start talking parts and pieces of 100’s of makes and models, and it gets overwhelming.
First, did you search the sash profile catalog and product categories to see what we have available? We have merely a fraction of the 100’s of possible makes and models produced over the last 40 years. Just knowing the brand, maybe narrows it down to eight or ten. We need you to tell us, if we have what you need.
Second, are you having trouble understanding what information we need? If this is the case, you may want to get a professional involved. There is technical information we MUST have in order to produce a product.
We may just not have it yet! We have over 260 possible sash combinations and that doesn’t begin to scratch the surface of the window industry over the last 40 years. Have no fear! We are constantly adding to our catalog by customers sending us one of their windows to replicate. With full millwork capabilities, it is rare we are not able to replicate a sash or component.
