Picture windows are cool! Especially when they really match the style of your house and they let in a lot of natural light. Some of them can even double as skylights. Here's how to make them yourself
1) Measure your window opening, add 10 inches to this measurement, and then subtract 2 inches for the frame itself (the frame is usually wider than the actual window). This gives you a window opening that will fit the molding around it
2) Get out your level and your tape measure, and mark two lines across each side of the opening. These lines are where you'll place your moldings later on
3) Make sure all of your molding pieces are cut to size before you start measuring or cutting anything else. Remember: You want to make sure everything fits nicely together before you rip anything out
4) Measure both sides of each piece at about 4 inches from the top so that it sits properly in place on either side of where you're going to drill holes for mounting brackets later on (see below).
picture window featurePicture windows are large fixed windows that create the effect of framing outdoor scenery like a picture frame. Because picture windows do not operate, they’re often paired with windows that do. Picture windows can be assembled with or without a sash. Windows without a sash, also called direct glaze windows, can provide larger unobstructed views.
