Enjoy!

In an ideal world these go on before Plasterboard . Nice video

Life saver thank you so much after paying for all my window boards to be fitted upstairs, I found your video and fitted some downstairs myself worked perfectly very simple I was surprised 😃

[@squidlings]

👍🏻 Cook. Just started a handy man business and got my first window board job 😊 wish me luck

[@AirsickHydra]

Having a DIY go at this tomorrow, helpful video!

@@oliblake4008 he hasn't finished it yet :D

[@ablegodablegod1504]

Thanks for that

[@Mike-en4ye]

I definitely install before drywall.

[@OFCOURSE20]

Can I ask if the board needs to be fitted on a slight angle running forward?? My son is on site learning at moment.. and the site manager has made him refit it as it was level.

Nice to see a tradesperson doing things the right way and with some care.

Nice video but I personally prefer to fix the board with brackets or foam. Dont have the risk of screw holes showing through the painted finish then.

How do you cut the window board for a box bay window, do I need a jig of are they mitred?

[@jasonbates5445]

Thanks so much for taking the time to post. I’m doing my own window sills at home but I’m struggling to find a router but for the bullnose. You couldn’t help point me in the right direction please?

[@jayjohal6892]

use an orbital sander mate like i did! works a treat! 40grit paper

[@garvielloken3929]

NOOICE!

[@jayjohal6892]

Did you pilot your screw holes first?

[@willchee4366]

Are your walls drywall or mdf?

[@silviaszabova7168]

Are you not using any cavity closers? Isn’t the moisture from between the walls going to get through the MDF board?

[@TomTomTomTom538]

Didn't you see the black damp proof membrane?

[@graham520]

I’ve just had a new window board fitted to a bay window. It’s not level, runs out by 9mm so the vertical blinds are catching the board at one end. Mentioned this to the joiner who said there’s nothing he can do about it now

[@annashiegl]

Hi, what did you screw the board to, is it brick underneath? Good video

[@paulgould7420]

Yes...

[@geoffzz]

Can't see any insulation in that cavity🤣🤣🤣

[@tobybarker6808]

pretty sure you'd fail NVQ if you have no dust extraction or safety..mdf is nasty stuff. otherwise good stuff

[@paulgould7420]

Another asbestos timebomb...

[@utah8753]

why are you using mdf for window sills, bad idea. hopefully it doesn't get moisture or wet

[@paulgould7420]

Told by an Agent that most solid plastic internal cillboard is MDF coated in plastic 🤮🤮

[@ramraja7796]

Good video but horrible music.

[@paulbackhard6315]

Why on earth would you screw through the face of it ? Foam it down

[@paulgould7420]

Ugly screw holes showing 😱

[@paulbackhard6315]

@@paulgould7420 exactly

[@paulgould7420]

And weight it down...

[@dk-su5dk]

@@paulgould7420 it obviously would get filled and painted

[@TurinTuramber]

I would rather fills a few holes in mdf than have the board lift off.

[@adamwells1042]

Annoying music

[@pobinr]

no need for music !

[@perazdera3809]

Without screws . Why bother with filling the holes , and repainting etc waste my time .
