Circle Top windows
I would like to see some examples of circle top windows. And I don't mean new construction with J channel. I mean something that needed to be wrapped in aluminum. Come on people lets see what you can do.
Pics please.....

We have done it twice, neither application do I have pictures of, First one was on brick openings on a factory turned condo. We installed the windows, and for the circle top we made a template and cut it out of gutter coil.
We also did some regular windows, and we first used an L with notches in it to cover the edge of the casing, and then made a template and cut out the arch and glued it on. I was not a big fan but the customer liked it so I guess it was good enough.

Not the best photo. Arch is all one piece with 1 1/4" pie shapes taken out every 5-6" of face and bottom. Siding is Alcoa Grand Sierra 16' with fullback insulation. Got a close up I'll have to load.

Thanks. Horrible photo. I also like to put a key at the top of arches. I'll look through photos and see if I can't find one to post.

Alright, sorry to bring this post back up but I went by this job I did 8 years ago, and took a pic of one of the three that were just like this one.
Looks better from this distance, but I did it and it's still there.
