Do you think a piece that fits snuggly inside the sill area looks better than a piece 50mm wider (at the end obviously!)
thanks astra, i thought so too although have seen some pine boards recently where they have been cut like image A so wondered if there was a right and wrong way
B for me I always look around to see how others have been done in a property, sometimes horns are very rounded, sometimes a bit squarer
Thanks for posting gents. 2 b or not 2b - i like it Chippie! So, square edges and 50mm sounds about right?
thanks both, appreciated. What do you reckon, put on a bed of grab adhesive to ensure its nice and level and leave a 2mm gap all the way around and fill with caulk?
I always let the timber into the wall by about 3 to 5 mm, not a huge gap, just so it slides in fairly tight then fill to make good.
If its a bathroom and I'm tiling, then Iike to tile first, then fit WB and I'll cut it as tight as poss. If not, then I'll fit it prior to plastering if poss. Yes, grip fill it on, packers if necessary
Just fitted some windows and doors - my first window install about 2 day left. The windows were rebated around the edges, this allowed for the window board to be fitted inside. this helps conceal any gap forming if there is any shrinkage ion the board. The board also had a slight fall. The overhang you refer to is known as a return nosing, and is shaped accordingly to the profile of the front edge of the board, i.e. bullnose. The overhang on the ones I have fitted were about 100mm
