Hi,
I'm having two bay windows replaced soon. The bays are timber construction, and not very deep. The existing window boards just PVC, glued to the window frame, and not resting on any wall at all in one room. In the other, more or less the same, but maybe 10mm or so of overlap.
I'm going to fit my own window boards on the new windows, and it's straightforward enough on the brick walls, but I'm a bit puzzled what to do on these shallow bays.
I will be using wood, so can't just glue it to the window. On the shallow bays I suppose it will be like a shelf, and will need brackets. Seems odd though - I don't recall ever seeing something like that before.
But then I thought, maybe I don't need a window board at all? Is there any good reason to keep one? If it's more or less flush, I could just cover up the gap with a molding, or even get the installers to do it with a bit of PVC?
Does the window board do more than simply finish off the window?
