You mention a shallow end and a deep for both width and height. The tape measurer was inserted into the deep end for the width, and then the shallow end when measuring height. Why are the measurements taken differently? Also 5/16 subtracted from width, why? And should anything be subtracted from height?
One side is deducted on a slider window because the channel is deeper on the side then the top. Its the opposite on Single Hung or double hung windows.
I have aluminum windows and am trying to measure the window dimension inside the channel. How much do I need to deduct or add on the width and height measurements after initial measurements? Is it 5/16?
Math and logic based on that window. I had taken the window screen off and measured it first, so I new the final dimension. That allowed me to get my deductions. Some windows are different. For example the frames of an aluminum window versus a vinyl window are very different.
@@AnthonyPerez The general rule of thumb, is the window channel where the window screen slides into should be 1/16" bigger than the window screen frame. Vinyl windows typically have a 5/16" frame, and aluminum windows use a 3/8" frame. To confirm measure the dimension of your window channel.
I see some problems here: if you're measuring from the middle of the frame you have to make sure you're ending it perpendicular on the opposite site or else you might end up with slide angle and therefore extra length. Also, when you measure from inside on one side and the other side goes outside, that's another nonperpendicular angle and wrong length. Why not measure from inside only , and use the side of the frame and just bend the measuring tape?
On the width, why do you deduct 5/16"? I don't think you said...also, do you deduct for the height?
Is it because of the side spring thingy?
He loss me too, I was told to add -1/8" on width and add 1/8" on height

It depends on windows. 5/16 is a sade deduction for slider windows
Good job. Just remember to give reasons why you measure that way to your audience..Good luck
Thanks for the tip
How did you know that you needed to deduct 5/16????

@@Bestcustomscreenswhat’s the difference? I’m working with aluminum and there is nothing on that. The channels are deep on both sides. 😊

Can't we use the same measurements of the screen you took out?
Yes for sure.
@@Bestcustomscreens yeah seems easier than measuring the the insides unless the border is bent of course
@@thend4427 The second portion of the video is specifically for when you don't have a screen to measure with.

is there a reason your audio music was louder than your voice giving instructions?
Poor video editing on their part.
LOL the ending
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
How to you adjust your measurements for the outside brackets?
Are you installing in a vinyl, aluminum or wood frame window? Or is it a solar screen you are needing to install?
Your description of how to measure the window is confusing.
How can I help? Do you have any questions?
love love love the crucifix
Thank you. It's because I love Jesus! ❤️
some friggin dude named todd
He failed to acknowledge the corner pieces...I think the 5/16 is the adjustment to accommodate corner pieces?
Measure window screens is not always an easy task. Even the most experienced installers may have to trim the window screens on the job
You video is confusing
Please explain why it is confusing. We always want to do better.
