This is how I went about to build our  attic windows.

The windows had in fact four layers:

  • 2 layers for the frame: the layer that would fit into the window opening, and the layer that would be fixed to the inside wall of the attic
  • and 2 layers for the window : the layer that would fit into the frame, and the layer covering the frame.

To make it easy for myself to keep all the pieces sorted, I named the four layers L-E-O-N . Yes, Leon was born a few weeks earlier.

Each of the parts in a given layer was glued to two other parts in the second layer. In that way, I ensured strength for the whole piece.

I used a jig with the exact dimensions of the window openings, both for gluing the parts, and for routing the inside and outside of the pieces.

And the end result : look Here
