    What is a window casing & how does it work?
    When a window is installed, there is a frame of wood (2x4s in our case) supporting the window. The window is attached to the frame, then casing is added outside to block bugs and weather from getting in. Casing on the interior of the house is predominantly decorative. After all, you wouldn’t want your windows to look like this, right?

  1. There are two types of simple window casing12:
    • Low-profile casing: A more practical option without the look of trim. It doesn’t cover the four sides of the window, instead it is hidden on the inner part of the window frame.
    • Butted window casing: The simplest window casing consists of flat stock trim with butted corners (butt and pass). Butted window casing works great and eliminates the dreaded “opened” miter joints that are famous with more elaborate miter joints.

    How do I choose a window casing?
    Casings come in various styles, from simple flat boards to more ornate profiles. For a cohesive look, it’s best to match the casing style to the existing trim in your home. The stool, often mistakenly called the sill, is the horizontal piece at the bottom of the window that extends past the casing on either side.

    How do I install a window casing?
    Start by adding the casing to the bottom of the window. Remember you will have an overhang of 1″+ the width of the board on each side of the window opening. SIDE NOTE: I would recommend dropping the casing 1/8″ from the window opening. This way if the window jambs or drywall around the window are uneven, you hopefully can still have a level casing.
