Standard Mobile Home Window Sizes (with Drawings)

Owning a mobile home comes with many advantages, one of which is the standardization of window sizes. This makes the process of replacing a window considerably easier, as you can typically expect them to be one of the three common sizes. In this article, we will discuss those standard mobile home window sizes and the various types available for your convenience.

Mobile homes usually come at are three standard sizes – 30 inches by 60 inches, 36 inches by 60 inches, and 36 inches by 54 inches.

Standard Window Sizes For Mobile Homes

The vast majority of windows in mobile homes are going to be one of three sizes. These are 30 inches by 60 inches, 36 inches by 60 inches, and 36 inches by 54 inches. In fact, it is estimated that between 80 and 90% of all windows on mobile homes will fall into one of these size categories.

The fact that mobile home windows come in a limited number of standard sizes might initially seem like your choices are limited, but actually, these three sizes offer a good variation for any window you might need in a mobile home.

Standard sizing also means that when you want to replace your windows, you will be able to get it done quicker and cheaper. This is because standard sizes will typically be stocked by glazing specialists or hardware stores, so you can buy one off the shelf rather than have to wait for it to be custom supplied or manufactured.

Standard sizes are also made in bulk, as opposed to custom size windows which will need to be made on an individual basis. This also means that they are less expensive than non-standard windows, potentially saving you thousands of dollars when you have new windows installed on a mobile home.

30 inches by 60 inches

This window size, equivalent to 762mm by 1524mm in metric measurements, is ideal for your mobile home’s kitchen, over the sink.

With the longer measurement horizontal and the shorter measurement vertical, you can easily fit kitchen units at standard heights. Additionally, this window size works well in bedrooms and living areas.

36 inches by 60 inches

Measuring 914.4mm by 1524mm in metric units, this window is the largest standard size available for mobile homes. It’s excellent as a picture window in your living room, providing an expansive view and plenty of natural light.

36 inches by 54 inches

Equating to 914.4mm by 1371.6mm in metric measurements, this versatile window size fits various rooms in a mobile home. It offers a slightly smaller alternative to the 36 inches by 60 inches window, allowing for placement flexibility.

Custom sizes

Windows in other sizes are available for mobile homes, but they are less common and may not be considered to be standard sizes.

If you have a particular area where you want a smaller or larger window than the standard sizes offered, you can get a custom size window made for your mobile home and have this installed by a team with experience in installing mobile home windows.

Custom-size windows are a good option if the standard sizes don’t work for you; however, you are likely to have to wait longer for a custom-size window while it is specially manufactured, and it is also likely to be considerably more expensive than a standard size window.

Types of Mobile Home Windows

Although the size of mobile home windows come in just three standard sizes, these sizes are available in a variety of types which means you can find a window that best suits your needs.

Casement

Casement windows are among the most popular types of windows because they are functional and stylish. They open outwards, similar to a door. These windows offer excellent ventilation options as they can be opened slightly for fresh air or fully for a breeze.

Casement windows can also serve as a fire escape when fully opened. However, they require clearance on the outside since they open outwards, so make sure nothing obstructs their movement.Awning

Awning windows are hinged at the top of the frame and open upwards and outwards. These windows are ideal for ventilation even during rainy days, as the open window angle deflects rain from entering your home. Like casement windows, awning windows require clearance on the outside of the property to open.

Hung

Hung windows slide vertically over each other, making them suitable for mobile homes with limited outdoor space. Their ventilation is reasonable, as they can only open halfway.

Sliding

Sliding windows operate on a track, much like sliding patio doors. With at least two panels of glass, one will slide over the other to an open position. These windows provide reasonable ventilation and are a good choice for homes with limited outdoor space, as they do not open outwards.
