Installing an Affordable Palladian-Look Window Video

Bob moves to the outside of the Mashpee home where installation of the three double-hung windows and a half-round window on top are creating a Palladian look for the front of this affordable home. Installation is easy with a construction-ready nail fin on the exterior. The window openings are measured and the window checked for level before nailing the fin to the exterior sheathing. Once in place, the half-round window is placed on top of the center double-hung. The header is already in place as if for a standard double-hung, with the half-round framing roughed out with two-by-fours cut and placed at 45-degree angles. Again the window is nailed in place from the exterior after it has been checked for level. This energy-efficient Palladian-look installation is quite reasonable with windows averaging $100 to $125 apiece.
