Carpenter Red Seal Exam Prep · Question

A 1800 mm wide picture window is being installed. If the manufacturer's rough opening specifications state to add 6 mm to each side of the window unit for shimming and insulation, what's total rough opening width?

If 6 mm is added to each side, this means 6 mm + 6 mm = 12 mm total clearance. Therefore, 1800 mm (window width) + 12 mm = 1812 mm for the rough opening width.
