A method of attaching a cover element to a window casement, and a cover element to be attached to a window casement

摘要

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing window-casements comprising horizontal and vertical casement sections and frame sections both made of wood, and where said casement sections and frame sections are covered on an outside surface by a cover element of a material other than wood and having a better resistance than wood towards the weather. A single cover element covering a longitudinal extension of at least a lower horizontal casement section and frame section along a vertical plane substantially parallel with a window pane and in a direction from the window pane, further along a front surface of the window casement, and further along the window frame, as seen in a direction perpendicular to the vertical plane. According to a special embodiment, the window frame exhibits an outer extension intended for abutting the limits of an embrasure in a wall, where the window is intended for being mounted, said outer extension being delimited by a special section of the window frame, said special section being made of a material other than metal, thereby limiting a energy-loss of the window frame.
