Tips & Warnings
Some windows can also be measured by the rough opening size. The correct size window is then made to fit in the rough opening size.
Determining the exact measurement is crucial to getting the proper window size. If the measurements are off even slightly, the window may need to be reordered or the opening built out, which will require a lot of time and work. Make sure the measurements are exact before purchasing the windows.
