windowboard Depth

tred

Folks, is there a standard distance a windowboard should protrude from say the finished wall? inch ?or more ?

Just wondering..

Window boards are standard width, what will dictate how far they protrude will be dictated by the window.
Think you can get 6 and 8 inch wide window boards.

9 inch, but if u taking into consideration , block wall, cavity, then drylining, you would have damn all left in a board. I am thinking of adding a strip of board to the back, as were painting them anyway.

There is an inch over hang on ours if thats any use ;~)

if i were u i would get 22mm mdf rip of the width of window boards u need and round over the edges with a router. mdf will take paint better no knots or cracks and wont shrink.
