Standard Arch
Measuring the Width
- Measure only the window opening.
- To determine the width, measure from left to right at the bottom of the arch.
- You’ll use that measurement and add the recommended minimum of 4 inches. For example, if the window opening is 32", it would be helpful to order 36". This will provide 2" of coverage on each side of the window for maximum privacy and light gap coverage.
- You can order narrower or wider based on your application, but the above example is a typical addition.
- This is the width you will use when ordering.
Measuring the Height
- Measure only the window opening.
- To determine the height, divide your width in half and measure the height at that location.
- Make a minimum addition to the size of 4". For example, if the window height is 32", it would be helpful to order 36" This will provide enough overlap for maximum privacy.
- You can order taller or shorter based on your application, but the above example is a typical addition.
- This is the height you will use when ordering.
Quarter Arches
