Question: How to Measure Replacement Windows?
Contents

Do you measure windows from the inside or outside?

Run a tape measure from the outside of the frame to the inside and take the measurement from edge to edge of the window frame.

How do you measure the rough opening of a window?

Measure the width across the bottom of your window opening between the inside faces of the framing on each side. Measure the height of the opening between the bottom of the header and the top of the sill on the left, right, and center of the opening. Measure the thickness of the flashing needed.
