Abstract
A method of finishing window cavities is described. This includes the step of flaring peripheral surfaces which define a window opening outwardly from an exterior wall toward an interior wall. Window cavities finished in accordance with the teachings of this method create a sensation of spaciousness of light.

A method for finishing window openings in walls having interior and exterior surfaces for increasing the amount of light admitted through a window unit mounted in said opening comprising providing an exterior wall having interior and exterior surfaces and having a window opening formed therein for receiving a window unit, modifying said window opening by removing wall material for flaring said wall adjacent said window opening from said window unit to said interior surface of said wall at an angle of between 10 degrees and 70 degrees with respect to a plane perpendicular to said wall, thereby providing increased light transmission through said window.
A method of finishing window cavities, comprising the step of:
- convexly contouring the internal peripheral surfaces which define an opening such that the peripheral surfaces are flared outwardly from an exterior wall toward an interior wall, the flaring being an overall angle of between 10 degrees and 70 degrees relation to a notional plane perpendicular to the exterior wall.
A method of finishing window cavities, comprising the step of:
- concavely contouring the internal peripheral surfaces which define an opening such that the peripheral surfaces are flared outwardly from an exterior wall toward an interior wall, the flaring being at an overall angle of between 10 degrees and 70 degrees in relation to a notional plane perpendicular to the exterior wall.
A method of finishing window cavities, comprising the step of:
- contouring the internal surfaces which define an opening in a stepped manner such that the peripheral surfaces are flared outwardly from an exterior wall toward an interior wall, the flaring being at an overall angle of between 10 degrees and 70 degrees in relation to a notional plane perpendicular to the exterior wall.
