However, there are a few cases where you may need a custom window size instead.
- You have an older or historic home.
- Your home has unique architectural designs that include non-standard window openings.
- You are replacing a window that was originally custom-built.
- You have a specific look or design in mind that may be larger or smaller than a standard size.
- Your home has structural constraints that make a custom window less expensive than remodeling your home’s structure to fit a standard size window.
