IF YOU PLAN TO PAINT THE LATTICE A DIFFERENT COLOR THEN THE WINDOW 

FRAME DO NOT INSTALL LATTICE, GO TO STEP 5 AND INSTALL LATTICE AFTER 

FRAMES ARE ASSEMBLED AND PAINTED.

Step 3 . Apply wood glue (not super glue) to the outside edge around the lattice 

frame. Figure 4

Step 4. lay the Palladian window frame face down on a flat surface and install the 
lattice frames flush to the back of the window frame, figure 5. Always start by 
inserting the squared side first to gain proper alignment.. Next turn the window 
right side up and push the lattice frames down flat in any areas not flush in the back. 
Figure 6. Pick up and check rear to ensure correct.  Using a small flat object remove 
excess glue.. 

“Using a toothpick is great by breaking one end and sanding it flat, figure 7. You 
then can run the flat side along all edges to remove excess glue and clean 
toothpick with towel and reuse.”
