Window sub-cills and surrounds
Set into window reveals, usually with jamb support pads, known in the
trade as 'stooling', sub cills are used to sit on the horizontal brickwork
across the window opening on which the timber frame of the window is
seated. The weathered nose is intended to throw rain and snow away from
the building outer leaf end would have a water drip cut in underneath
the nosing and a water bar groove (optional) cut into the seating on
which the window frame sits.
Window surrounds manufactured with various materials including that
of natural and reconstituted stone are used to take the place of standard
brickwork or blockwork reveals.
