HOW TO TRIM A WINDOW
When you design an opening at home, the customer often has a lot of technical issues associated with installing, joining, and installing the window decor elements. We offer more than 100 exterior window trim kits by which you can count your windows and place an order. The first and most basic question is what material is best used for decorative window decoration from the outside. Our façade products made of foam plastic have proved their practicality, lightness, aesthetics, durability, and the most basic – the best price-quality ratio for many years.
Therefore, polystyrene foam polystyrene is the best material for decorating windows with decor. In the examples below, you can also see the significant difference between finishing the windows with your own hands (manually) and manufacturing in the production conditions of foam products.
Surely you saw a lot of houses with rectangular frames around the windows – this is the simplest and cheapest way to decorate the house opening. But this design of the window does not go in any comparison with our figurative elements of the window decor.
The second main question on the decorative finishing of windows is at what stage of insulation is the installation of facade elements. And also if the facade is faced with tiles or in facing brick. Our architectural elements are light in themselves, so there is no need to leave a mounting place for them without a heater, to produce additional mounting reinforcements, etc.
Therefore, the facade decor of foam plastic on the opening of the window is mounted on the rough screed of the insulation until the finish of the walls. If the exterior walls are made of facing bricks or tiles, the decor elements are mounted on top of them.
And the third major question when facing the windows is the installation, joints, pruning, and slopes. What to do with the oktas of the window opening on the facade, how does the decor of the window with the slope trim fit together, how are the window and the escarpment mounted together, and what glues are used for the installation of the window facade decoration, where to take the scheme of mounting the lock stone on the window facade, how to join the arch window decor with direct elements when metal is put on the windowsill in the presence of decor, how do the decorative details of the window frame join together? For all these questions, you can get answers on this page of our site. Or by contacting us in any convenient way.
The first thing that interests me when decorating the facade of a house with decor is the design of openings. Window and door openings create the main visual image of the facade. The discrepancy between the proportions of the area of windows and the area of the walls always produces a depressing impression.
Too narrow or too wide windows easily turn different architectural methods into a work of art. The combination of several windows with a facade decoration of foam plastic into a single composition in accordance with the general concept of the exterior decoration of the building’s facade is one of the few ways to decorate window openings. If you need a design of windows from the outside – below on the page you can see a number of ready-made solutions – examples of finishing window openings for which you can easily decide on your own preferences in design.
In the design of the window opening outside the house, such elements of the facade decoration are used:
- window molding
- decorative window sill
- top of the window
- front brackets
- castle stone
In the figures below, the technical aspects of the matching of the window decor with the escutcheons are displayed. You can see 2 options for decorating the window: molding around the perimeter of the window and a combination of molding and a window sill.
The illustrations clearly show that the decorative element is mounted over the end face of the slat. so please pay attention to the ebb – the sill cover – it should cover the sloping part and the decorative element itself. Therefore, if you are planning any architectural elements on the facade – do not rush to order ebbs on the windowsill.
They are mounted after the installation of the decor of the facade of the house. The slatted slats can be produced both by installers in the course of insulation and ordered in the form of finished products from us. We produce slopes of the depth necessary for a particular object. The thickness of the slope is usually 3 cm at the window frame and 2 cm at the wall.
Separately, we would like to propose an option for decorating the opening with a decorative element located on the slope. In the photo below we have shown, as an example, the application of profile No. 1160 with section dimensions of 15×15 cm. The decorative cornice is mounted on the wall without a heater, and the insulation does not reach the edge of the slope by the size of the profile (in our example it is 15 cm).
Below are the photos of the examples, we showed an effective and at the same time practical window decoration on the façade with the solution to the slope issue. The decorative element itself is in this case a slope. Two goals are achieved: a reduction in the cost of finishing the windows when the facade is insulated and a radically different appearance of the window compared to the usual application of molding along the edge of the slope. At such furnish of a window, the heater does not reach the edge of the window slope by the distance of the applied decorative element.
The reinforcing mesh of the wall insulation is left with an output of 15-20 cm. Then, when installing the decor, the mesh element goes along the front part of the insulation. In the examples below, the entire decorative effect is achieved by the depth of the wall insulation – the architectural decor itself protrudes from the edge of the wall by 3-5 cm.
This option of finishing the window slope can be attributed to a more modern style of the facade design at home – to some extent modern. The effect of minimalism is achieved: a minimum of decor – a maximum of visual impression. If you are worried about the filthy protruding parts of the facade decoration, our proposal will also solve this problem.
Such a design of the window opening advantageously differs from the usual application of facade molding along the edge of the slope by creating a larger volume and relief with a smaller indentation of the decor from the wall.
TYPE 1 ~ For your outside window border design
The window border design is an important parameter that allows not only to make windows more durable but also more aesthetic for others. Decorative decoration of windows from the outside is capable of giving the whole building a finished and original appearance.

The aesthetic need for creating a stylish exterior of the building is a great chance to change the look of plastic windows.
If you have just installed new windows, then do not delay with the finishing works. Under the influence of the environment, the mounting foam dries quickly, the openings remain completely leaky. In addition, it is rather unaesthetic.

A stone can be glued on the same technology as a conventional tile, so you will not have any difficulties.
To give the windows an aesthetic, neat appearance, you can simply align the slopes, and repair cracks, and various cracks in the openings. This will protect the mounting foam from damage, which is the basis for installing double-glazed windows. This option is the most economical and practical. To improve the appearance of the building, it is possible to use colored, non-uniform compositions.
The decorative design of the windows on the outside with stucco molding is a modern trend. Gypsum, concrete, expanded polystyrene, and polyurethane foam – these materials are not only very durable and reliable but also create a perfectly flat surface. Glue these blanks with an adhesive solution.

It is also possible to use a sealant on a silicone base, which is dotted over the whole plane of the decorative workpiece. Rubbing the seams is an epoxy or silicone base. Casing made of wood should be impregnated with a protective agent, which prolongs the life of the material. Copper nails without hats are used to fasten the clypeus to the window frame.

HOW TO INSTALL EXTERIOR WINDOW TRIM
If you are interested in the question – of how to properly place the windows in the house – then you are exactly at the address. In this article, we will discuss how to achieve the optimal proportions of windows in relation to the facade. Agree, the house with windows of different sizes, placed at different levels will look too extravagant.
For example, the window opening must be correctly emphasized with decorative elements, otherwise, the exterior will give visual imbalance. When changing or moving window openings, it is important to take into account their size relative to the wall area.
The design and shape of the windows should reflect the sense of balance and aesthetics of the designer. Building technologies and standards allow achieving the best result. Many property owners rely on personal intuition, as they say, “by eye”, in the process of forming a new facade. Disregarding the drawing, and the proportions of the wall, it is possible to incorrectly place the windows. The ideal location of the windows in relation to the beginning of the foundation is the center of the wall. It is determined by the golden section, which can be divided into several equal parts.
The correct proportions of the window are related to the length and height of the wall. It is not right to place windows the size of a meter per meter on a wall more than 6 meters high and the same length. Modern trends favor the use of a window that will form a certain panorama.
The window frame should be at least 40-60 cm from the floor. The exception is a panoramic window from the floor to the ceiling.
Optimal sizes of windows in a private house are based on the capabilities of the heating system. The larger the window, the better the rooms should warm up to compensate for heat loss. If you are installing panoramic windows, it is best to install an in-floor concatenator. Decorative cladding is able to successfully emphasize the windows, and visually make them invisible. How big is the window in the house?
If you have small windows installed, then you should install side moldings, and pilasters, which will visually enlarge its sides.
For high vertical windows, the side columns that extend the window frame perfectly match. For windows of a square shape of considerable size, you can not install decorative elements. They will only aggravate the appearance of the window, making it congested. Windows on the facade, the drawing of which you can order from professional designers, allows you to make decorative elements. If you are eager to bring the author’s notes to the exterior of the house, we recommend trusting professionals.
Today, a huge number of styles are available that open the door to creativity. The main thing that should be based on – is the dimensions of the house, and then the style direction (classics, modern, hi-tech, etc.).
