My Basket 
Window trims might not be the first thing that springs to mind when planning a project, but they’re an important part of bringing everything together. From covering edges to creating a clean, tidy finish, the right profile can make all the difference.
It’s often the finishing touches that make a job stand out. Windows are no exception. You can have a perfectly fitted window, but without the right trim, something can still feel a little unfinished.
We know from working with our trade customers that no two jobs are quite the same. So, whether you’re fitting replacement windows, working on a renovation or finishing off a new build, here’s a few things to keep in mind when it comes to window trims.
- Finding the right window trims for your profile
- Making the finish look the part
- Getting installation-ready
- Keeping the job running smoothly
Finding the Right Window Trims for Your Project
Window trims come in different shapes and sizes, and choosing the right one really comes down to the job in hand. A replacement window might need something similar to what’s already there, while a new installation could call for a completely different finish.
At Edge, we offer both PVC window trims and aluminium trims, giving trade customers a choice depending on the application and the look they’re after. From practical finishing solutions to something a little more bespoke, there’s plenty to consider.
Different profiles also have their own uses. A quadrant trim is ideal for finishing corners, with its curved profile creating a neat transition where two surfaces meet. Architrave is a popular choice for covering gaps around the perimeter of a window frame, helping to leave a clean, tidy finish. And where a smaller gap needs covering without adding too much bulk, an edge fillet offers a more discreet solution.
The surrounding wall, the window frame and the space available all have a part to play. Getting the profile right from the start can save a bit of head-scratching further down the line – and nobody wants to be making another trip to site because the trim isn’t quite right!
At Edge, we stock a range of window finishing products to help trade customers find the right finishing touch for their projects.
It’s All in the Finish
A neat finish is something every tradesperson can appreciate. And while trims might be a small part of the overall job, they can have a big impact on how everything looks.
Colour is often a big part of that. Our PVC window trims are available in 27 colours, giving plenty of choice when it comes to finding a finish that complements the window and the property. Whether you’re after something subtle or a little different, there’s plenty to work with.
And if a standard colour doesn’t quite fit the brief? Our PVC window trims can also be spray-painted to match any BS or RAL colour, opening up even more possibilities for a bespoke finish. You can choose between a smooth or textured wood grain finish, depending on the look you’re going for. So, whether it’s a modern, clean finish or something with a little more character, there’s an option to suit.
It’s those little details – clean edges, tidy joins and a trim that sits just right – that help turn a good installation into a great one.
A Little Planning Goes a Long Way
We all know that time on site is precious, so having the right materials ready to go can make life a lot easier.
Taking measurements, checking profiles and confirming quantities before ordering can help avoid unnecessary delays. It’s also worth checking the manufacturer’s guidance for cutting and fixing, along with any recommended sealants and adhesives needed for the installation.
Window trims are there to provide the finishing touch, so making sure the window itself is correctly fitted and sealed is just as important.
A bit of preparation now can mean less time sorting things out later – leaving more time to get on with the next job.
