Love this video. Glad you included baluster, banister & balustrade. As a professional finish carpenter I incorrectly referred to the window stool as the sill for the first 15 yrs of my career probably because that's what the person called it that I learned from. As I went off and started my own business I began to educate myself more and more on the proper names and use of moldings and such. And still learning, it's never to late. Thanks.

In the cabinetry trade we call a glass door that is divided out into the different panes a mullion door. Is this an incorrect term that just stuck and is used improperly? Is it more in the how each is constructed because in a window you would have individual panes that are separated by the muntons, where in a cabinet door you have 1 sheet of glass and the mullion are more or less over layed onto the glass?

@BrentHull

I think it is incorrect. It should be a Muntin. IMHO. Thanks

So... What is the covered area at the front door where a vehicle picks up and or lets out passengers? I always thought that was a Portico. Also I thought that the brick header over a window or door was the soldier course and sometimes has a keystone.

@BrentHull

Жыл бұрын

the car drive through on the side is a porte-cochere. Sometimes a portico on the front can be large enough to have a car drive through. A soldier course is only when bricks are standing up right and are not gauged or made to fit in an arch.
