Measuring your windows is an essential step when it comes to your uPVC window replacement. This is because new windows need to fit the existing space in your home. Inaccurate measurements can lead to costly mistakes and delays, which can result in additional expenses.
How to measure upvc windows
When measuring your windows, such as a typical 1,200mm x 1,200mm uPVC window, it is important to take into consideration the entire window frame, including the windowsill and any frame extensions, as well as the area holding the window in place (render to render).
Measuring from the outside of your home will provide a more accurate depiction of the uPVC window size. It is also recommended to take multiple measurements of the height and width in three different places- the left side, right side, and centre. Then use the smallest measurement for both dimensions. Doing so accounts for any natural expansion that may occur in hot weather.
If you’re still unsure about how exactly to go about measuring your windows when it comes time to replace your uPVC windows, then it’s best to consult a professional installer who can do it for you. Many companies will offer this free of charge before offering you a quote for their window installation services.
