Finishing touches for windows
By Home Alliance | February 5, 2010
A window can make the room look brighter or stuffy. Modern day technologies have come up with energy-friendly windows using solar cells that keep the house warm and well-lit. Some basic points must be kept in mind to give it a good finish. The corner where two windows meet must be covered with mullion strip as it effectively covers the flaws in wood’s edge. It is a wise decision to attach the window sill and header first. It might also be a good idea to have some professional help from a skilled carpenter who can help you with the installation.
When painting casement windows make sure they sure wide open. The top, side and bottom edges should be painted first followed by the frames, sills, casings. Draperies are indispensable part of the window. They must be in sync with the rest of the room. Blinds, pelmets, swags and tails may be used in place of ordinary draperies. Home décor stores offer a range of upholstery and draperies in various style and shades.
