Need New Window Treatments? Why Professionally Measure Windows In Houston
The time has come for fresh window treatments. You know you shouldn’t estimate your window’s dimensions, so you pull out your tape measure. Or, better yet, how about you have the experts do it? There are numerous reasons why the pros should measure your windows in Houston. So step away from the measuring tape and pick up your phone to get accurate measurements and perfectly-fitted window treatments.
Do I Need To Measure Windows In My Houston Home?
Whenever you’re getting window coverings, measuring the window is necessary! Even though many stores attempt to sell standard sizes, no “standard” window exists. If you buy a mass-produced treatment, it can never fit your window quite how it should. Instead, you should measure your window and purchase a custom treatment.
Custom window treatments always look and work better than a product that’s off the shelf. For example, a custom treatment won’t stick out past the frame of the window or fit too small to block the view inside or light. It will fit within the window casement precisely. You can also decide how to operate your window treatment, whether requesting a hidden tilt rod on indoor shutters or adding motorization to a window shade. You have additional choices for opacity, hardware, color and more.
When Should I Get My Windows Measured By The Experts?
It’s always a smart idea to get windows professionally measured. For one, if the pros measure your windows, they’ll also install the window treatments. That’s fewer projects for you. As professionals who work with window treatments each day, they have perfected the best way to measure windows. They’ll do the job precisely and in no time at all.
Measuring windows for custom window treatments is a must. After all, they aren’t really custom if they don’t fit your window perfectly. If your home has a specialty-shaped window like an arched window, don’t attempt DIY measuring. Your installer will need to take exacting measurements to get the shape and angle right for ordering your window treatments.
Should I Measure My Windows Myself?
You can measure your windows yourself. You’ll need to if you install your window treatments by yourself. Knowing your approximate window size can also help you get estimates from window treatment installers when you’re searching for one.
How Do You Measure Windows?
The prime way to measure your Houston windows is always to let an expert do it. However, if you need to quickly know your window’s measurements, follow these tips:
- Use a metal tape measure.
- Always measure to the closest 1/8-inch.
- For inside mount treatments, measure the window depth first.
- Depending on the style of window treatment you want, you’ll measure the width and height inside the window casement or from the outer edges of the window frame.
- Always note the measurements as width by height.
Will Hiring Professionals Be Expensive?
Naturally, ordering window treatments from a specialist who measures windows for you costs more. But the cost is worth it. You’ll find yourself replacing poor quality DIY treatments more often. They might wear out faster when they don’t fit your windows properly. To get the best value for your money, call the experts.
