[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 * --- There is such a thing as “drywall returns” which just means drywalling to the jambs. The issue a window in the shower is that it rains everyday in the shower. If you were swapping windows, I would suggest vinyl interior jambs. If you are not, you need some waterproof material to act as window jambs, I would suggest some exterior plastic profile for garage doors and plastic trim for the inside. You can tile it, but water will lay on the tile and be an issue.
