[quote=Anonymous]If you go watch a house being built, in the framing stage, you would understand. The window is an opening, an interruption to the structural integrity of the wall because no drywall studs can go through it. To compensate for this, a huge header beam is used, and the 2x4/2x6 lumber flanking the window are doubled/tripled together. I could potentially see a window getting extended down, but anything else is a serious structural change. It may be possible to add additional panes to the sides of a window, flanking the original window, thus leaving the structure of the original window intact. You would then keep the original framing and encase those into a decorative mullion.[/quote]
