What is the proper terminology for the metal covering above the bay window.
Is it a roof or flashing? Thanks Last edited by dmacy; 5/11/07 at 2:39 PM.. |

Roof. Is it tarnished copper or coated steel? Either one, I call that a roof.

Hood for a Maine frog still means hides the engine of my 1964 Ford Galexy. Hood is what we used to sled down on the snow crust covered hills. Hood is what I were all winter long. Hood is a habitual criminal. Hood is a gangster. Hood is a Christian religious garments Hood is a three bagger night on the town. Hood is a sack cloth. Hood is a vestment. Hood is a miter. Hood is a stole. Hood is a humeral veil. Now please explain how and why you would call a roof over a bay or bow window a hood.

I guess it must be redneck slang!
How can it be a roof if there is no structural members? "I create controversy whether they like it or not" |

What makes you think there are no structural members?

Here the tinners bring them out and the back has a flange on it and they nail it to the wall.

We just had Renewal by Andersen replace all our windows and they installed a bay window for us. I watched the nice man, and he built the thing almost from scratch. I guess that's what separates Renewal from those "other guys".

Do your windows have backer rod and sealant joints? Did you take any pictures of the work as it was being done?
