Window frames are measured on the
EXTERIOR of the home (width x
length), from one end of the window
frame to the other end of the frame
(you do not measure the glass
itself).
Storm Stoppers® are attached to the
window frame, using the 3M Dual
Lock™ fastening system. The
fasteners come in two sizes - 1” or
˝” wide. In this case, we will also
need to know if your window or door
frame is 1” or ˝” so that we may
provide the correct size fasteners.
Please also note that some window
frames may need to use both size
fasteners. For example, the side
frame may be 1” wide and the top and
bottom of the frame may be ˝” wide.
Please let us know if this is the
case. The diagram to the left will
show you a sample window frame, with
arrows to show the dimensions that
you will need to measure.

You may have some windows at your
home that are double or triple
windows. In this case you may have a
choice.
Your first option would be to cover
them with two panels, one Storm
Stopper® per window, as shown in the
diagram to the right. If it is to be
covered in two panels, please note
the arrows on each frame and measure
them exactly the way the diagram
indicates. Fasteners will be adhered
to each vertical frame in the
middle. |
 |
 |
|
Alternately, if your double or
triple window frames are totally
flush with each other, you may
choose to cover both (or all) of
them with only one Storm Stopper®
Panel.
If
you would like to cover them with a
single Storm Stopper® panel, please
measure the way the arrows indicate
in the diagram to the left. You
simply measure them as one large
panel, the same way you would
measure a single window. |
SPECIALTY
WINDOWS
Specialty windows do not
require an entire series of individual
measurements for their unique curves or
angles. Instead, they are measured in
virtually the same way as ordinary windows,
so you can be sure all of the glass will be
protected:
|
 |
 |
 |
|
For "eyebrow" windows, measure the
height at the tallest point (the
center of the window). |
Measure the height of an arch at the
tallest (center) point, and the
width at the widest (bottom) point. |
For a hexagon, measure the height
and width the same way you would for
a square window. |
DOORS
Because of the
many variations in door materials and
designs, you may need our assistance in
measuring them correctly and making sure
that the 3M Dual Lock™ fasteners can be
adhered with correct placement. If you have
sliding glass doors, unique door layouts or
materials, or if you simply have questions
about door measuring, we will be happy to
speak with you personally, evaluate your
situation and guide you through the process. |
