Why Should I Measure Windows In My Orlando Home?
Whenever you’re installing a window treatment, measuring the window is a must! Although some stores attempt to sell common sizes, there simply is no “standard” window. If you purchase an off-the-shelf product, it can never fit your window correctly. Rather, you ought to measure your window and purchase a custom product.
Customized window treatments always work and look better than something off the shelf. For example, a custom treatment isn’t going to hang past the edges of the window or fit too small to block the view inside or light. It will fit within your window casement exactly. You can also choose how your treatment works, whether adding motorization to a window shade or asking for a hidden tilt rod on indoor shutters. You have additional choices for color, opacity, hardware, and beyond.
When Should I Get My Windows Measured By The Pros?
It’s always good to have your windows measured by the experts. For one, if the experts measure your windows, they’ll also install your treatments. That’s one less task on your to-do list. As the professionals who install window treatments all the time, they know the ideal techniques for measuring windows. They’ll do the job correctly and in no time at all.
Measuring windows for custom window treatments is essential. After all, they aren’t really custom unless they fit your window exactly. If your home has an arched window or other specialty shape, don’t try measuring yourself. Your installer will need to take exacting measurements to get the angle and shape right before ordering your window treatments.
Should I Measure My Windows Myself?
Of course, you can try to measure your windows yourself. You’ll need to if you plan to install your window treatments by yourself. Estimating the approximate size of your windows can also help you get installation estimates when you’re looking for one.

- Always write the measurements as width by height.
Will Hiring The Pros Cost Me A Lot?
Of course, purchasing window treatments from an installer who will measure windows for you costs something. But this initial expense makes up for itself over time.
