Measuring for new windows

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

measuring_windowsWhen you’re considering new windows for your home, you should take a moment to understand how the company you are working with is coming up with the price.
Almost all window companies price based on the United Inch, so if the company has U.I. price of eight dollars an inch the formula will work like this.

Width + Height x price per inch. So if we take a typical 48″ x 48″ size window. 48″ + 48″ = 96″ total united inches. Now we take that total times the price per inch, in this case we are using $8.00 an inch for an example. 96 x $8.00 = $768.00.

This is typical replacement window prices for vinyl windows installed with a life time guarantee. Prices may vary of course based on the manufacturer the options and quality of the windows.
