It’s time for different window treatments. You know it’s a bad idea to eyeball a window’s size, so you grab your tape measure. Or, better yet, what if you let the pros do it? There are multiple reasons why the pros should measure your windows in New Brunswick. So put back the measuring tape and pick up the phone to get correct measurements and the best window treatments possible.
Do I Need To Measure Windows In My New Brunswick Home?
If you need a window treatment, measuring the window is vital! While some stores attempt to sell common sizes, there simply is no “standard” window. If you purchase a mass-produced treatment, it won’t fit your window how you want. Therefore, you need to measure your window and buy a custom treatment.
Custom window treatments look and work better than a product that’s pre-made. For instance, a one-of-a-kind 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 also get to customize how your treatment works, whether adding motorization to a window shade or asking for a hidden tilt rod on indoor shutters. You have additional options for hardware, opacity, color and beyond.
When Do I Need To Get My Windows Measured By The Pros?
It’s always a good idea to get windows expertly measured. For one, if the pros measure your windows, they’ll also install your treatments. That’s one less task on your plate. As the pros who install window treatments all the time, they know the right methods for measuring windows. They’ll measure correctly and in no time at all.
Having windows measured for custom window treatments is a must. After all, they aren’t really custom unless they fit your window exactly. If your home has a rounded window or other specialty shape, don’t try DIY measuring. Your installer will want to take careful measurements to get the shape and angle right when ordering your treatments.
Can I Measure My Windows Myself?
You can measure your windows yourself. You’ll be asked to if you install your window treatments by yourself. Finding your approximate window size can also help you get installation estimates when you’re looking for one.
How Should I Measure My Windows?
The ideal way to measure your New Brunswick windows is undeniably to seek a pro to do it. However, if you want a guess as to your window’s measurements, use these tips:
- Use a metal tape measure.
- Always measure to the nearest 1/8-inch.
- Measure the window depth first for inside mount treatments.
- Depending on the style of desired window treatment, you’ll measure either the width and height inside the window casement or from the outer edges of the window frame.
- Always record the measurements as width by height.
Won’t Hiring Professionals Cost Me A Lot?
Naturally, ordering window treatments from a pro who will measure windows for you costs money. But that initial expense pays for itself over time. You’ll find yourself replacing cheaper DIY products in less time. They may age sooner if they don’t fit your windows correctly. To get the best value for your money, call an expert.
