Roll screen installation is usually completed inside window and door frames. We simply need the width and height dimension to within an 1/8" of the opening you plan to install the rolls screen in. The required depth to install the roll screen i is 1-1/2" or more. These measurements should be made at several locations of both width and height and the smallest measurement should be used.

If you don't have adequate depth to mount inside of the window jamb, we can provide an outside mount application. We still need the same width and height of the opening. We will produce the screen 4" wider and 3" higher then the dimensions you provide. This will insure proper space for mounting on the surface around your window.
