They can be opened even during a light rain and are considered weatherproof.

Standard window stool size.

Refresh your old double hung windows or add a touch of class to your casement windows by making your own window stools. Is there an accepted standard when sizing the width and depth of the stool and width of the apron. Mark a 3 4 x 3 1 2 in. Add 1 inch for all edge details except eased standard edge add 1 if you choose eased standard and dog ear.

If apron tile or wall treatments have not been installed you will need to add the thickness of that application to your depth measurement. A standard size awning window could have a width from 2 to 3 10. Measure the depth of the window opening. The stool should protrude past the casings by about an inch.

Most trim pieces graduate in 1 4 inch increments. Awning windows are often used with other window styles and are easy to open and close. Standard measurements typically vary 1 16 inch or more. If the sizing is out of scale it draws the eye to the wrong area.

To find the length of the stool make a mark 1 in. The stool should project 3 4 to 1 in. Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward allowing for ample ventilation. It s easy just follow these four steps.

Then hold the stool up and transfer the marks. I try to make my stool 1 2 wider on each side of the casing and widest part of the stool 1 4 narrower than the casing 3 4 less than edge of stool. Or if you want a little fancier stool rout the edges with a more decorative bit. Beyond the casing on both sides.
