Instructions for accurately measuring insect screens

Measuring an insert correctly is essential for a perfect closure. Careful measuring is the first step to the right size insect screen. In this guide we share practical tips and steps for measuring insect screens.

What exactly are you measuring?

When measuring a fly screen, open the window, measure the tight size between the frame against the rubber where the wing closes against when the window is closed. This size determines the total dimensions of the fly screen and must be recorded accurately. Make sure you have both the width and the height. You enter the tight size in the configurator, we make a correction ourselves.

Important points to note:

  • Always measure horizontally and vertically.
  • Measure against the rubber where the wing seals when closed.

Horizontal measurement (width)

Measure the width of the opening in which the insect screen is placed. To be sure, take the measurement at the top of the frame and at the bottom of the frame, normally there should be no difference. Always take the smallest measurement.

Vertical measurement (height)

Measure the height of the opening in which the insect screen is placed. To be sure, take the measurement at the top of the frame and at the bottom of the frame, normally there should be no difference. Always take the smallest measurement.

Helpful tips for accurate measuring

  • Use a quality tape measure for precise results.
  • Double check your measurements to avoid mistakes.

Please note: the dimensions given must always be the tight dimensions. We make a correction ourselves during production.
