How do you seal up a window in a room you do not need anymore?

Filed Under bookcases 

Lupe M asked:


I am building a wall of bookcases in my den and I need to seal up a window on that specific wall. I have three other windows. Once I remove the window, what do I need to do to close it up so I can build my bookcases? I need to seal the outside part of the opening against the elements, but I will leave the inside-moulding and all for shelves and build around it. Has anyone done this before? Can someone help me? Thanks!

      Use ply wood, and glue and then screw in.

      Guessing this is an exterior wall where you are removing the window? You didn’t mention what type of walls you have, cement block, or wooden.

      If you have to ask how, you should call a carpenter.
