Show me your Window Bands

B-D-P-- · 2017-06-21 14:09:06

So, deciding how to do window bands if any on the house, if any. Builing a 2 story contempory house, Probably paint white for first few years and black pvc windows. Not sure to go thick, thin or none at all. Help please?

Personally I would go none at all, I have just done it on my build and i am very happy with the results. IMHO you need to avoid fuss with modern facades hence why I would suggest having none.

Do you really need the stone? If you do, Wrap it until it terminates into the main block. It does not need bands, lines or quoins, nothing contemporary about them.

Edit: added 'not'

You might want to consider installing sprinklers in the reveals....

What is a "window band"? Is this an Irish idiom?
