1. Measuring for your Solar Window Screens
We build our kits to your exact specifications therefore we added this information to assist you on how easy it is to measure.
The solar window screens are designed to cover the glass area of your window. The ideal measurement for the screens would be the exact measurement of your outside window frame.
All screens should be measured to the 1/8, 1/4, 3/8/, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 or 7/8 increments
(example 60 5/8)
These are the two most common examples:
Example 1: The window frame is flush with outside allowing you to measure from frame to frame easily (if its a little bigger it wont hurt).
- A) Measure the width (side to side)
- B) Measure the height (top to bottom)
- C) The center brace does not have to be measured (just let us now if its from bottom to top or side to side)
Example 2: The complete window and frame is recessed into a pop out structure of the house making the measurement a little more criticle (You dont want it to big because it might not fit properly inside the pop out area, instead make it a little smaller).
On these windows its best to measure it in three places and take the smallest of the 3 measurements
- A) Take the smallest measurement of the width (side to side)
- B) Take the smallest measuremet of the height (top to bottom)
- C) The center brace does not have to be measured (just let us now if its from bottom to top or side to side)
Note: in some cases you can make the screen bigger to fit on the out side of the pop out (it will create a greater distance between the screen and the glass area but that will not change its affectiveness.
Other measuring ideas...
Since the solar screens can be used for just about any energy saving application you can measure anything that will fit a solar screen.
Example: Windows, sliding glass doors, glass block, porches, motor homes, swamp coolers, air conditioners etc.
