[Parent post: "Hidden Window"] Found a previously drywalled-over window while demoing our primary bathroom and I’m trying to understand what I’m looking at before rebuilding this properly. After removing the drywall around the window opening, I found these material “returns” around the jambs and sill. I'm not sure what is going on here. A few notes: * The material appears to wrap into the opening around the sides and sill * --- Previous owner did this in my house but it was a 60 year old, wood framed, single pane window that was rotting. So that was awesome. We did not even know the window exists when we bought the house as it was in a hard to reach place, between houses. Loads of things piled up against the house in that spot. At least they put up insulation but the mould growing around it was... intense. Turns out burying problems behind drywall, solves very little.

Summary
The commenter is sharing a past experience with a hidden, rotting window and drywall concealment, not expressing interest in buying or replacing windows.
Reasoning
This is a conversational anecdote about discovering a buried window in their own house, with no request for quotes, pricing, recommendations, or replacement advice. The mention of a 60-year-old single-pane window is relevant to windows generally, but it reads as hindsight and frustration rather than active research or purchase intent.
