Getting New Window Treatments? Why Professionally Measure Windows In Tampa
You need fresh window coverings. You know better than to estimate your window’s dimensions, so you pull out your measuring tape. Or, even better, what if you let the pros do it? There are several reasons why the pros should measure your windows in Tampa. So set down your tape measure and pick up your phone to get accurate measurements and perfectly-fitted window treatments.
Why Do I Need To Measure Windows In My Tampa Home?
Whenever you’re installing a window treatment, measuring the window is vital! Although many stores attempt to sell common sizes, no “standard” window exists. If you buy a pre-made treatment, it will never fit your window correctly. Rather, you should measure your window and order a custom product.
Customized window treatments consistently work and look better than a product that’s off the shelf. For example, a one-of-a-kind treatment won’t stick out past the frame of your window or be too small to block light and views inside. It will fit within your window exactly. You can also customize how your treatment works, whether requesting a hidden tilt rod on indoor shutters or adding motorization to a window shade. You have further choices for opacity, hardware, color and more.
When Do I Need To Get My Windows Measured By The Experts?
It’s always a great idea to have windows measured by the experts. For one, if the experts measure your windows, they’ll also install the treatments. That’s one less task for you. As the professionals who work with window coverings each day, they have perfected the ideal way to measure windows. They’ll do the job correctly and in no time at all.
Getting windows measured for custom window treatments is a necessity. After all, they aren’t actually custom if they don’t fit your window exactly. If you have a specialty-shaped window like an arched window, it’s not worth DIY measuring. Your installer will need to take careful measurements to get the shape and angle right prior to ordering your treatments.
Can I Measure My Windows Myself?
You can measure your windows yourself. You’ll need to if you plan to do your window treatments yourself. Estimating the rough size of your windows can also help with seeking installation estimates when you’re searching for one.
How Should I Measure My Windows?
The ideal method for measuring your Tampa windows is undeniably to ask an expert to do it. However, if you need a guess as to your window’s dimensions, use these tips:
- Use a metal tape measure.
- Always measure to the closest 1/8-inch.
- Measure the depth of your window first for inside mount treatments.
- Depending on the type of desired window treatment, you’ll measure either the width and height inside the window casement or from the outside edges of the window frame.
- Always write your measurements as width by height.
Won’t Hiring Professionals Cost A Lot Of Money?
Technically, buying window coverings from an installer who will measure windows themselves costs something. But this upfront cost is worth it. You’ll have to replace poor quality DIY products more often. They tend to wear out faster if they don’t fit your windows as they should. For the greatest value, call the experts.
