    Hello Folks,

    I wonder if you can help me with a window issue.

    I have four white Dormer Windows which will be fitted in a 6 inch timber frame. The external wall will have hanging roof slates on battens.. My concern is how to close/seal the reveals? Is there some kind of window trim which I can use? Or can you Windows be made with an external trim?

    Any help appreciated,

    plenty of sealant around and under should do the trick.

    Wrap a cement board on the outside of the reveal and return it 150 mm keeping it flush with the baton carrying the slate, base coat and finish wit acrylic render, slate over it and leave the slate flush with the corner of the reveal
