Title: Mulled windows
Post by: scottbama on August 08, 2011, 08:51:18 AM
I am building a small home and the plans call for two windows to be mulled with a 2x4. Not exactly understanding how this works or how to frame the wall to accomodate...please help. (FIRST OF MANY QUESTIONS TO COME I AM SURE)   :-\

If they are side by side then there needs to be a mullion strip which is just a piece of trim to cover the connection between the two windows.  I am assuming that from the discription you use a piece of 2X4 between the two to make that union of the two windows. Tried to find a disgram but this is the only thing I found.
