Can a screen be used on the outside of the window, or is the unit too deep?

No problem with double hung windows. I have two of these fans. The only one that I had to remove the screen on is a tilt out window where the screen is fixed on the inside. I screened the outside of the fan and I'm still able to close the window with the fan in place for security.

Yes. I installed the fan in an older wood double hung window, and had no issues. Most of the fan unit extends toward the inside.

I have one of those windows where the screen is permanently installed. My fan sits fine in my window. I don't see it being a problem for most windows with screens.

We are using this ac unit with our screens in with no issues. We use it in a couple different windows. This has been a great unit for us. As others have stated, make sure you have air flow.

It is for the outside of the windows, not inside use. Unless your tint is on the outside...................

I added pieces if wood to the wall to mount the metal bar outside the window frame. I could not mount to frame as the frame is not flat. The wood also seems to make more secure and easier to open screen if needed.

Probably not. I actually put the film on my storm windows so I can see the depth of the windows. You might want to place the film under those white inserts? The pretty side is only really visible from inside.

I don't use a screen, any wall is great especially outside, on my neighbors wall of 50 feet by 30 feet high, you can't beat the size.

Being by an outside wall, particularly towards the broadcast tower, would probably be the best, but the optimum location certainly varies from home to home, depending on their structure and their environment. I am not certain if windows are even pertinent, especially if they are covered with metallic screens, frames, or blinds.

Yes you can definitely extend the screen. This is what I have done with my Windows 8 system.

I put the sensor inside a utility closet at the side of my house. It works great. I would think it would work just fine between a window and screen. Also, there is a round attachment on the back of the sensor that you could put a string around and hang it from that.

Also consider the way our door opens. You want the screen on the same side as the hinges of the door so it is not in your way .

You could only open your window to 15" and it must open that wide to inset. Also you would likely need to use a light prop rod to hold the screen up vertical. They could be used...beats the price of a custom screen or kit & so far mine have been rolling around stuck to the outside of my rv for 7,500 miles & 5 months...still look good even!

I would not. I think there would be a slight opening between the 2 screens. I agree with another reviewer who said that there is probably a screen made in the 20" size.

A level surface like a hardwood floor would be a great place for the screen. Stability will be determined by how you fold the panels. If you bunch them closer together the screen is heavy enough to withstand a little wind; however, the more you stretch them out the more the more unstable it be comes. We purchased two and folded them closer together to make them more stable. They are better than we expected. Since the are heavier than most of the others that we tried, we believe that they are more stable and durable.

Your unit should be vented to the outside in some manor. What I did wa make a partition that I could vent through and close the window or screen on it. I also sealed it with aluminum tape. (bought at Home Depot or an Auto parts store.)

I purchased this unit specifically for a through-the-wall (about 9 inches) application, which is what it is designed for. I think you would find it awkward to use in a window application, and it would require too much carpentry work to build a support for the air conditioner on the outside of the building or house. I believe you would be wise to select an air conditioner that is specifically designed for window use. It would probably be much cheaper in price than this unit. Also, the manufacturer's description says it is not suited for window use.

I have this unit & am happy with it - but I have a much wider width window than you. If the minimum required is beyond your opening - that would be it. Even mine fit iin such a way that I couldn't put in the 2 side accordian sides typical for the window unit. I only had about 5 - 6 inches excess in total. You may have to go down to a smaller width unit.
