Window Frames & Moldings


     While our carpenters continue to install the plasterboard on the walls, they are also adding the window frames as well as the moldings.  We had a chance to see how window frames are put together and installed. 

The wood comes in slats.

These are then cut to the exact dimensions.


And they are then joined together into a perfect frame.

This is what the window looks like once it's been framed.

The frame is fixed onto the wooden beams.

And here's the final look after the molding's been installed.

     We were surprised to see that the moldings are installed before the wall is finished.  We will be sure to check what precautions they take when they apply the putty and start painting, to see how they manage not to color over them!


     Meanwhile, the Loft has been completed - windows, ceiling and walls and even the baseboards:



It looks even larger than we thought, now that it's been cleaned up of all tools and materials...


Now we just have to think about color...
