What are Standard Window Sizes in Arizona?

This entry was posted in Windows and Doors on .


When you start shopping around for new windows in Arizona, it’s helpful to know what ‘standard’ window sizes are. While you can purchase custom windows of nearly any size to fit your space, standard window sizes make the process easier and less expensive.

Standard window sizes refer to window dimensions that fit into most openings in newly built homes. Because they are so common, window manufacturers are able to produce these windows in bulk, making them more accessible and affordable.

Let’s look at the most common types of windows, along with their ‘standard’ sizes.

Double-Hung and Single-Hung Windows

Double-hung windows have two sashes – an upper and a lower – that move up and down. With single-hung windows, the lower sash is mobile and the upper sash is fixed in place. These windows are common and versatile. Their standard sizes include:

  • 2 feet wide by 3 feet high (2030)
  • 2 feet wide by 4 feet, 4 inches high (2044)
  • 2 feet, 8 inches wide by 4 feet high (2840)
  • 2 feet, 8 inches wide by 5 feet, 2 inches high (2852)
  • 4 feet wide by 6 feet high (4060)

Sliding Windows

Slider windows have sashes that slide horizontally. They work in all areas of the home and are always wider than they are taller. Common standard sizes are:

  • 3 feet wide by 2 feet high (3020)
  • 3 feet wide by 3 feet high (3030)
  • 5 feet wide by 3 feet high (5030)
  • 6 feet wide by 4 feet high (6040)
  • 7 feet wide by 4 feet high (7040)

Picture Windows

Picture windows are fixed windows that do not open. While they do not provide fresh air, they do offer beautiful views of the outdoors. We find that most people install picture windows in family rooms and living rooms where they want lots of natural light. Picture windows are also secure and come in the following standard sizes:

  • 3 feet wide by 2 feet high (3020)
  • 5 feet wide by 3 feet high (5030)
  • 6 feet wide by 4 feet high (6040)
  • 4 feet wide by 5 feet high (4050)
  • 8 feet wide by 5 feet, 2 inches high (8052)

Casement Windows

Casement windows are moveable windows that open from the side. They can have one sash or two sashes, and they work well in kitchens and bathrooms because of the ventilation they provide. You can find casement windows in the following standard sizes:

  • 1 foot, 7 inches wide by 1 foot, 4 inches high (1714)
  • 1 foot, 7 inches wide by 2 feet, 5 inches high (1725)
  • 2 feet, 3 inches wide by 2 feet, 3 inches high (2323)
  • 2 feet, 9 inches wide by 2 feet, 9 inches high (2929)
  • 3 feet, 5 inches wide by 2 feet, 5 inches high (3525)
