Window Surrounds

What are Window Surrounds?

Window surrounds can include cills, jambs, heads, mullions, transoms and label moulding and are used to define the window opening. Cills would be stooled where the jambs sit on the flat surface of the cill. Cast stone bays can be used to accentuate and create a prominent design feature for the windows. Keystones can also be used to add a focal point to a window. Styles of windows surrounds have evolved significantly over time, dating back to pre-16^th century, Italian renaissance and 19^th century gothic architecture, meaning all components of a window surround can be manufactured to suit a range of project designs.
