Extra-coverage drywall return for picture windows

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago



Hi! We are replacing some picture windows with Andersen 100 series and will be doing trimless drywall return on the two sides and top, a stained wood sill on the bottom. we like the idea of seeing as little of the frame as possible, so I’m wondering if it’s possible to frame out some more and do the drywall return to cover more of the chunky window frame (see photo. Red being extra framing, green being drywall return). This would also help with blocking extra sound that can come through the hollow frame of the window. Is there any drawback of doing it this way, other than extra work? Thanks!
