Ordering glass for the windows in your home may not be an easy task for you. The main problem when it comes to ordering Glass is the size of the Glass that is required for the window. Not all windows require the same size of Glass, and some windows have complex shapes that require that the window manufacturers in NJ use special measuring instruments to measure and then cut them.

One of the toughest things to measure is curved Glass. The best way to measure curved Glass is to find out the diameter of this Glass. The diameter of the Glass for curved Glass can be measured accurately in many different ways:

·        Use some string.

This is by far the easiest method to measure the curvature of the Glass. You can just use a long piece of string and keep it at the exact centre of the circular glass panel. Keep the string straight and taut so that you are able to get the accurate diameter measurement (from one tip to the opposite tip in a straight line). This is very critical as the window manufacturers in NJ will be cutting the Glass to perfection, and the size should be exact.

Another way is to measure the perimeter/circumference of the Glass. The manufacturer will then use a simple formula to find the diameter of the glass panel that you require. This method is not recommended as there may be errors in measurement.

·        For metal windows:

If you have metal windows where the Glass is held together by putty or some silicone sealant, then it is important that you measure the glass width and height from the outside part of the window. Usually, there is some excess glass on all four sides that are attached to the metal window frame by the window glass replacement company so that the Glass fits snugly into the window frame.

If you measure the window from the inside and there is no allowance for the extra Glass to hold the adhesive to the window frame, then the Glass will not be possible to install, and you might have to end up paying more for another glass pane of the proper size.
