Which way should bevels face in old window?
hi..I recently restored an old window...forgot which side face out!!! It's got bevels, the rule is that bevels face out? Right? thanks.
AnswerThey typically face in for 2 reasons.
1. Facing in gives the rainbow effect, from the sun shining through the bevels, in the house.
2. It's easier to keep the bevels clean from outside debris, such as dust, if the flat side of the bevel is facing out.
However, bevels can be used facing any way you want. There is no absolute rule that says they have to face a certain way.
