Is the exterior window trim a specific product?

12 years ago

I have a house with "marine grade plywood" as the exterior window trim. It's failing. What is the product number, etc. of what you're using? Thanks!

There is no exterior window trim. What you see is a vertical lip of aluminum welded to the the aluminum angle steel that supports the window and holds it in place. The other leg of the angle is hidden beneath the cypress siding.

Darin, great question about the exterior trim of this window. I think the vertical lip of aluminum looks amazing against the dark board and batten siding on this house. I'd love to get new windows in our own home. My husband and I want our home to be more energy efficient and look good. Installing new windows like this would help with our curb appeal and make our place a little more energy efficient. Great job on this project! https://allstategutter.com/windows/
