Measuring For Wood or Aluminum Storm Windows
Measure Top and Bottom
It is important to make sure all measurements are taken as accurately as possible. All measurements should be taken for a tight opening storm window size. All measurements need to be taken to within a sixteenth of an inch.
It is best to have someone assist you by writing down measurements as they are taken to help minimize mistakes. Always measure in the following order: Top and then Bottom.
Left side. Right side. Then check for square by measuring corner to corner.
Note: Deductions will be made at the factory for clearances.
Please bear in mind that each home's window openings are unique. Before ordering windows, please contact Air-Tite Storm Windows directly for a verbal confirmation of your measuring details. Air-Tite cannot be held responsible for measuring errors.

First measure the top width
of the window to a sixteenth
of an inch.
Next measure the left side of the window from the top down to the top of the bevel at
the sill.
Measure the right side. Note down all of these measurements so adjustments can be made to compensate for settling of the home.
Measure the center of the window to check for "bowing" or "sinking" of the sill.
Next measure the left diagonal from bottom right to top left for "out of square" measurements.
Measure the bottom of the window at the
sill. This is done to ensure a proper fit for the storm window.
