Often, window boards all look the same. However, there are ways you can make them look different and maybe stand out a little. We’re going to look over a few different types that you can get your hands on.
Bullnose Window Boards
First off, we’ve got the standard and most commonly used – the Bullnose Window Board.
We think that this type of window board is popular for the same reasons that Bullnose Skirting Boards are popular – they’re simple and work well in any interior.
It simply features a full round on the front edge of the window board.
It’s also a good choice when it comes to safety. As the front edge is fully round, there are no sharp edges for you (or little ones) to catch yourself on. The round will be sooth and also really easy to paint time and time again.
Square Window Boards
Just as the name implies, a Square Window Board features no design or styling on the front edge. It’s simply left square!
We get this request quite often – we think it’s because it has a more of a modern feel to it and it’s not something you see everyday.
It’ a simplistic style and perfect for someone looking to create a minimalistic interior.
Chamfered Window Boards
These type of window boards are more commonly seen on the outside of a home and not made using MDF (like the other window boards above).
This is because MDF cannot be used outside as it is not as resistant to water as materials like plastic or hardwoods (treated or outdoor use).
The chamfer design is used to help drain water away from the windows. You won’t normally see this style window board within the home.
Edge Window Boards
This is another modern style – the Edge Window Board. It features a small 45 degree angle the the top and bottom of the front edge (middle is left flat / square).
It’s a contemporary design that also doesn’t have any sharp edges as the Edge profile takes these off.
It’s becoming more popular in homes as an alternative to the Bullnose Window Board – it’s something different.
