ID# W200

A 1/48th scale two pane casement window.

Casement windows have been used since the 17th century. In a timber framed building the windows would be flush with the surface of the timbers. In a brick or stone building the windows could be flush but are more likely to be recessed within the window aperture by 3-4" (1/16" or 1.5mm in 1/48 scale). The London Building Act of 1709 required the windows to be recessed by 4" to prevent the spread of fire and other towns and cities adopted similar rules.

The window is supplied partly assembled to make it easier to paint.   The window can be fitted flush in a 3mm thick wall or recessed in a 6mm wall.  Diamond and square mesh lattices to fit this window are included.

Size: 0.55" (14mm) W x 1.1" (28mm) H
