Marvin Insert Window

Measuring Instruction
Before You Begin

These measuring instructions cover the following

product types: Marvin Ultimate Replacement
Casement/Awning windows; and Marvin Insert
Double Hung windows.

Be sure to inspect the exterior around the existing

window unit for rot or deterioration. If there is
damage to the exterior, a full frame unit installation
may be a better choice.

Products are manufactured by inside opening (IO)3/8" (10) narrower in width and 1/4" (6) smaller in
height than measurement specified.

NOTE: Numbers listed in parentheses () are metric

equivalents in millimeters to the nearest whole number.
You will need to supply:
Angle finder

Tape measure

It may be necessary to cover the resulting gap with

trim after installation.

Required Measurements
NOTE: To calculate the exact frame size, refer to the standard sizing charts and/or measurement conversions in
the Marvin ADM.
NOTE: Measurement is from wood surface to wood surface. Do not measure width from parting stops, blind stops,
hardware, or weather strip.
1. Inside Opening Width (A): Measure inside of frame at three locations: the sill, center of jambs, and head
jamb. Record the narrowest measurement.
2. Inside Opening Height (B): Measure from the top of the sill to the bottom of the head jamb. (or use
Measurement D + Measurement E)
3. Sill Angle (C): Use an angle finder to determine the sill angle to the nearest degree.
4. Stool Height (D): Use a measuring tape to determine the stool height.

Recommended Measurements
5. Measure the width of the blind stops from the inside opening to the edge of the blind stop (F). If width exceeds
1/2" (13), modification to the blind stop or an exterior installation may be necessary.
6. Measure Jamb pocket depth (G). If depth is less than 3 1/4" (83), modification to the pocket may be necessary.
(Exterior installation is recommended for pocket depths less than 3 1/4".)

IMPORTANT
The 8 and 14 degree frame bevel option max stool height (F) is 3/4" (19). See illustration 1. For the flat frame option
the max stool height is 15/16" (24). It may be necessary to shim under the replacement unit to reduce the stool
height. This will decrease the Inside Opening Height (B) measurement for the replacement unit. This specification
is required for proper operation of the Ultimate Replacement Casement crank handle.
