Pre Cast Window


I am remodeling a home that has a window that is a precast cement window that looks like a four leaf clover. The Drywall sub that I hired doesn't know how to drywall this window. I don't even know the name of this window. I know this is a long shot...but does anyone know the name of this window and how to drywall around the opening? I do have pics I can email. Thanks for the help.

Re: Pre Cast Window


As for drywalling to the openning it really depends on the situation, usually the lite is set into a larger window ie, an ogee arch. If not maybe a custom casing is in order? are you intending to wrap arond into the opening towards the unit? Or if it protrudes into the room can you butt to it?
