How to Measure Screen Windows
To start you will need a tape measure, pencil and paper.
The options:
For this tutorial we will be working with three options of fitting.
Inside recess
Outside recess
No recess and obstructions

Inside Recess
Start with the Width, measure top and bottom.
Use the smallest size.
Next measure the Drop, measure both sides and again use the smallest size.
Use the smallest size.
Next measure the Drop, measure both sides and again use the smallest size.
Note: The screen window must be mounted in such a manner that they fasten to a continuos flat border for the frame to rest against.
When Measuring, it is important to ensure that this flat border exists, otherwise one will have to be supplied.

Outside Recess / Face
Start with the Width, measure top and bottom.
Use the smallest size.
Next measure the Drop, measure both sides and again use the smallest size.
In this example we have measured from the outer edge to outer edge of the window frame as we want the screen to fully cover the window frame.
Use the smallest size.
Next measure the Drop, measure both sides and again use the smallest size.

No Recess and Obstruction
When your window have no recess you can measure from any point you would like
In this example we have no recess but we still have the window frame, so we will take the measurements from the outer edge to the outer edge of the window frame.
Start with the Width, measure top and bottom.
Use the smallest size.
Next measure the Drop, measure both sides and again use the smallest size.
Also in this example we have an obstruction, in the red circle. In this case a window handle.
When you have any obstruction you have to measure how far out that obstruction sticks out.
In this case the handle sticks out to about 15mm.
To fit a Screen window in this situation is required to have some angles attached to the window frame on the 4 sides prior to the installation.
We would have to use a 20mm x 25mm angle for this example.
