How Do I Measure For Replacement Window Screens?
Measuring for new window screens for your Denver-area home can seem like a daunting task for those less inclined to home improvement projects and even sometimes the seasoned DIY-er. However, if you follow these easy steps, you will get an accurate measurement for your new screen. Also, be sure to check out our Measuring FAQs!
If You Have Your Old Screen . . .
Step 1: Measure the Short Side
Step 2 Measure the Long Side
When you measure, be sure to record the length and width of your old screen frame to the nearest 1/16 of an inch.
If You Don’t Have Your Old Screen . . .
Measuring a window that doesn’t have a screen does require a few more steps, but don’t let this overwhelm you. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact us!
Step 1: Find the Lip
The lip of your window is located at the bottom of the window frame and the screen channel is located above in the parallel end of the window screen frame. Measure from the window screen lip up to the channel then subtract ⅛ of an inch — and you have your height measurement!
Step 2: Measure the Horizontal Screen Channel
Next, measure the screen channel for the width measurement. Subtract an ⅛ of an inch for the measurement. Subtracting an ⅛ of an inch from the measurements is crucial for allowing you to install your window screen: the screen must be slightly smaller for it to fit easily within your window.
How to Measure For Non-Traditional Window Screens
Slider Windows
Step 1: Find the u-shaped channel that’s shallower on one side than the other.
Step 2: This is the lip. Measure as you would traditional windows.
Step 3: Subtract an 1/8 of an inch from width and height.
Cross Brace or Colonial Pattern
Step 1: Measure from outside edges to the center of the mullion.
Step 2: Then get the vertical measurements as you would with a traditional window.
Screw Mounted Solar Screens
Step 1: Confirm there is space for screws.
Step 2: Measure to outside edges of window screen (height and width).
Step 3: Subtract ⅛ inch.
Brick Clips
Step 1: Measure brick to brick.
Step 2: Subtract 1 inch from width and height.
