        "text": "The rough opening is the framed space in the wall that the window unit will be installed into. It is intentionally larger than the actual window frame to allow for shims, insulation, and proper leveling and squaring of the window. The finished opening refers to the final visible opening after the window has been installed and trimmed out with interior and exterior casings, sills, and other finishing materials. The rough opening dimensions are crucial for ordering the correct window size, while the finished opening defines the aesthetic appearance.",
