How do i finish off my bow window roof.
Its important that the bow be thoroughly sanded to remove any unsightly blemishes or scratches.
The house is just an older ranch style only with a steeper roof no second story just an attic.
Vary the finish by working with a range of applicators such as foam pads a rough brush a fine brush or a piece of cloth.
Apply one coat of finish fill the nail holes with putty that matches the wood color then apply a second coat of finish.
Our trim and cabinets are douglas fir finished with a lightly tinted polyurethane.
It would have been a whole lot easier had lee and john neff just bought a stock bow window.
Measure the distance from end to end at the outer edge of the roof.
This coarse paper helps round off any unwanted ridges that have been left from the shaping process.
The roof is a conical section that doubles as a mold to bend the laminated fascia and trim pieces.
I like to start out sanding the riser with 80 grit paper.
After the roof has been attached to the window use galvanized roofing nails to attach the roof to the building.
Experiment with nonstandard applicators if you want to try something new.
The window is not over anything just the lawn.
I already stated the type of siding and the window dimensions in my original post.
I then progress through 100 grit 150 grit 220 grit and finally.
It is suggested that you pre drill the flashing approximately 3 16th of an inch and do not nail tight leave about 1 16 between nail head.
Finally nail roofing shingles in single overlapping layers over the entire roof.
Easier maybe but even the best ready made window probably would have been a little off in one way or another.
Install a drip edge so that water and snow will safely run off the roof without sliding down the window panes and install flashing as well.
If the roof has two or more pitched sections hold the tape against the edge of the roof for an accurate measurement.
Cut the interior trim and nail it in place using a nail set to sink nailheads below the surface of the wood.
