To find the width, measure from the inside of the jamb on one side of the window to the inside of the jamb on the other side of the window. Measure at the bottom, middle and top of the window. Use the narrowest measurement for the width of your replacement window.
To find the height, measure from the top of the sill to the bottom of the window's head jamb. Measure at the left, middle and right of the window. Use the shortest measurement for the height of your replacement window.
If X by X is simply not available in "off the shelf" replacements...you have 2 options:
1-Custom size replacements, these cost more but will fit perfectly.
2-Choose the next closest size smaller, these will require a little more work to make up the difference.
If you choose the next size larger, they will require a lot more work because you will have to re-frame the existing hole.

Right on the money.
chrisasst said:Well here is my problem. The windows I need to replace are old windows, one of them is half rotted and missing along with the window frame. So basically the one window I am going to have to reframe anyway. I know I can get them custom made at home depot or whatever but they are more than my budget. I have a bargain outlet store that has windows, they have one that is 28 x 46 or another one that is 32 x 46. I need (I think) windows that are 31 1/4 x 46. So I don't know which would be better.
