Casing on windows with own hands: features of the manufacturing process

Few people know, but the clypeus consists of a kokoshnik (it is located on top of the frame) and towels (this is the lower part, which has a bevel for water drainage).

All windows on the facade should be decorated with the same products. Have Therefore, the window frames with their own hands are worth making one size, shape and pattern. All works can be reduced to the following stages:

  • Well-dried boards up to 30 mm thick and up to 150 mm wide must be scraped;
  • On the reverse side of the clypeus grooves or gaps are made;
  • A pattern is cut out;
  • The parts are joined by means of spikes;
  • Finishing is performed.
