Measuring Doors and Window Openings for Our Flood Panel Barrier System
To ensure a proper fit for your flood panel barrier system, accurately measure the width of the door or window opening. Use a tape measure to measure the widest point of the opening. For sliding manual and sliding glass doors, note that the width may include a small concrete lip or threshold that extends beyond the door frame, which should be included in your measurement. If exterior shutters or other fixtures are mounted to the sides of the opening, measure the full width, including these features, to ensure the barrier fits securely. Always use the widest measurements for complete coverage.
It’s also essential to provide us with measurements of how far any door handles, windowsills, or hurricane shutters protrude from the surface where the post will be mounted, so we can include any additional PVC Planks or aluminum angle that you may need for installation in your quote.
Below is how we will calculate the length we will cut your planks, based on your measurements and installation opening type.
Inside Mount, we will subtract 2 inches.
Outside Mount, we will add 3 inches.
Inside and Outside Mount, we will add 1/2 inch.
For Distances over 10′, we will include a center post and deduct 1 1/2″ more from the total width or 3/4 from both side planks, and you will need to mount it the middle of your opening.
If you don’t have your measurements before completing the form below, we will help you get them later
