Hi folks, I wanted some tips regarding measuring for a replacement window. I have the following window. Well, there's 2 of them, but this is a representative of both: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qvy7I.jpg[/IMG] When I measured, I followed the instructions and took 3 measurements for the width and 3 measurements for the height. For the width, I just measured from wall to wall. But for the height, I measured from wall to the top of the ceramic sill. For the 1st window, I got the following (in inches): WIDTH 1st measurement (top) - 51 3/4 " 2nd measurement (middle) - 51 3/4" 3rd measurement (bottom) - 51 3/4" HEIGHT 1st measurement (side) - 49 1/4" 2nd measurement (middle) - 49 1/4" 3rd measurement (side) - 49 1/2" For the 2nd window, I got the following (in inches): WIDTH 1st measurement (top) - 51 3/4" 2nd measurement (middle) - 51 7/8" 3rd measurement (bottom) - 51 7/8" HEIGHT 1st measurement (side) - 49 1/4" 2nd measurement (middle) - 49 1/4" 3rd measurement (side) - 49 1/4" For both windows the depth measurement was 4 1/4". Here is a depiction of the measurements: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/El9cv.jpg[/IMG] For the sill, I measured 3/4" from the top to bottom as seen here: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Hys6T.jpg[/IMG] From various articles, it states that I have to pick the smallest dimension. For the width, I'm straightforward. But for the height I'm assuming that I also have to add the sill measurement, right? Also, do I need to add a correction factor to the measurements? And when I order replacement windows are these specified as exact measurements or rough opening? Thank you!

Hi, I started replacing some windows (with new constuction) in my house over the weekend. I'm looking into brick mould and it seems like everyone is recommending Azek composite over wood. Fine with me, but wondering if there are alternatives which work just as well for less? I've heard about Kleer, but haven't looked at pricing yet. Anyone have good experience with alternatives to Azek? Thanks!
