Can you close off a window?

Hi Esther, Yes, you can close off a window. You will need to remove your current window. Then you will need to install a couple 2 X 4's under the header. Then replace the outside surface (brick, siding, etc.). Then comes insulation. Next, drywall inside the house. Last is tape and mud, sand it when dry. Paint to match current color in your room. Best of luck to you.Helpful Reply -

Sure, how much construction are you up to? Be absolutely certain, and know that it will make the space darker.Helpful Reply -

Yes, you can, we removed one to put in a gas fireplace. Then we put two small ones on either side of the fireplace.Helpful Reply -
