Trimming a Basement Window


When walls are thick, you need wide extention jambs and a deep stool.

When trimming windows in thick walls (basement walls, for instance), you need wide extension jambs and thick stools. Montana builder and remodeling contractor Chris Whalen displays his method for building out jambs to accommodate windows in thick walls.

Finally, Chris completes the work by attaching the head casing.
