How Do You Frame A Sunroom Window?
How Do You Frame A Sunroom Window?
- Remove and throw away all pieces of wood on both sides of your sunroom window and the frame around it.
- Measure the width and height of your sunroom window along each side, then use this measurement to determine a piece of wood that is slightly larger and longer than your measurements.
- Glue a small piece of wood onto each side so that they line up evenly with each other, then glue them onto all four sides so that there’s some thickness to them and they’re easier to fit into place later on.
- Measure all four sides of your window frame to make sure they are exactly the same height and width as your window, then take note of how much wood is left on each side after you remove all the pieces you removed in steps 1 and 2.
- Remove this amount of wood from each side and cut it off so that it falls within a set distance away from either corner, then fix this extra piece onto both sides of your window frame so that they are flush with the ends of the existing pieces you removed in step 4.
- Put one small piece of wood into each hole or slot you made earlier and secure it tightly into place by adding nails or screws.
- Glue a strip of wood that is slightly thicker than your window onto the sides of your window, then glue it to the middle piece on each side so that it doesn’t move around.
- Glue these pieces onto all four sides of your window frame using nails or screws, and make sure they’re sturdy enough to support their own weight if you don’t want to use wood trim on them later on.
