To measure window glass size accurately, follow these steps:
Measuring Window Glass Width
- Multiple Measurements: Measure the width of the glass panel in three different places: at the top, in the middle, and at the bottom.
- Smallest Width: If there are differences between the three width measurements, use the smallest measurement as your final width. This is because you want to make sure the new glass panel will fit.
Measuring Window Glass Diagonally
- Corner to Corner: Measure diagonally across the glass from one corner to the opposite corner. This measurement is sometimes used for verification and helps ensure the glass is correctly sized.
Example Measurement
| Measurement Location | Example Measurement |
|---|---|
| Top Width | 24 inches |
| Middle Width | 24 1/8 inches |
| Bottom Width | 24 inches |
| Diagonal | 34 inches |
In this example, the final width measurement is 24 inches
Key Considerations
- Accuracy: Take accurate measurements because even small differences can cause problems when fitting the new glass.
- Tools: Use a reliable measuring tape or ruler.
By following these steps, you can accurately determine the correct window glass size needed.
