    Default Architrave without window stool/apron??

    I have a few questions.
    1. Does anyone ever put an architrave on a window that does not have a tool/apron and just has regular casing on the bottom?

    2. Does anyone ever just use an architrave around doors and skip the windows?

    and
    3. Does anyone ever take a thicker profile casing and put it upside down on the bottom of the window to act like a window sill extension/stool to rest the side casing on? So, there would be no need to install a stool? Would this be really cheap looking?

    Thanks for all your answers

    If i understand you correctly you are meaning there is no window sill. and all four sides of the window architrace are of the exact same look and profile.

    if so yes i have done that. why? because there was no window sill.

    i used architraves which were 18mm thick so i could rebate my blinds. looks so much cleaner and neater.
