How to Measure Your Windows for Film Application

Your Guide to Precise Window Film Measurements

At The Window Film Specialists, we empower you to measure your windows for our Vista and LLumar window films.

Measuring Made Simple: Measure the interior surface of your windows as this is where the film will be applied. For width, measure from the left edge to the right, and for length, from the top to the bottom. Add an extra inch to each dimension for cutting and installation ease. If you're interested in decorative films, please reach out to us for specific guidance and pricing.

Inspect Before Measuring: Check for any cracks or damage in your windows. Applying film to damaged windows can worsen these issues. Ensure your windows are in good condition before proceeding.

Glass-Only Measurements: Focus on measuring the glass area within each pane, excluding the frame. This accuracy is crucial as the film is applied directly to the glass.

Use the Right Tool: A long, flexible tape measure is ideal for this task. Avoid using short rulers or tapes to prevent measurement inaccuracies.

Special Shapes Need Special Attention: For windows with unique shapes, measure the widest and tallest points of the glass. These measurements are essential for custom-cut films.

Verification is Key: Double-check all measurements to ensure accuracy. This helps in avoiding errors and wastage.

Record and Label: Document each measurement clearly and label every window or opening. This organization is vital when ordering films to fit specific windows.

Once you've completed measuring, use our online estimator for instant quotes and additional savings. Our team at The Window Film Specialists is here to assist you every step of the way!
