Just 2" frame for vinyl window in concrete?

Jul 19, 2007 4 Replies

I will have two egress windows cut into my concrete basement walls (9" thick), will use standard 48" x 48" slider or casement windows.



Two contractors told me they simply frame the freshly cut concrete with 2 inch "green pressure treated lumber" and then set the window. (They will do more for a header if needed for space alignment or structural needs.)



But just a singe 2" board sound too fast and easy. Is there a "proper" way or am I must use to doing things the hard way?



Thx Dave-in-Denver
