6 piece bedroom set image
Sha74
I would like to add a little light into my bathroom via my bedroom. Any suggestions on how to install a window through a blank internal (non load bearing) wall would be appreciated!
Answer
There are several ways to do it, but basically you need to verify it is non-load bearing by looking at it from the attic to make sure nothing is bearing on it. Verify that there are no electrical or plumbing lines runing through the area. (If there are, you will either need to relocate yourself, or hire someone to re-route wiring and pipes)
1) Determine what height you want the top of the window to be at.
2) Cut the studs and sheetrock 6" above the top of the window to allow for a 2x6 header and sheetrock (5.5" for header, 0.5" for sheetrock)
3) Frame in a king stud and jack stud on the sides and underneath header. (This will require removing more sheetrock to the sides of the opening, up to the ceiling and down to the floor on one side of the wall)
4) Frame in underneath window, setting height for base of window and adding cripple studs underneath sill.
5) Repair Sheetrock (Tape, Float, Texture and Paint until opening is finished like room and bathroom)
6) Have a glass company measure and install piece of tempered glass in-between frame kleats in opening space.
