Abstract: Window trim designs are disclosed for use in commercial and residential building construction and repair. Brick mold, flat trim, and sill nose designs are disclosed, each having a similar structural arrangement configured to correspond with receiving structures of a window frame, and to lock and seal the trim to the window frame. Each design has a co-extruded flexible seal that engages the associated window frame member to shed water due to rain, etc. A secondary caulk/gasket seal is also provided between the trim and window frame. The external surfaces of the trim designs are embossed to mimic the appearance of wood. The trim designs may be cut, mitered and joined to provide a “picture frame” trim appearance. Alternatively, the provision of a sill profile allows the assembly of a more traditional window trimming appearance, with brick mold or flat trim on three sides, and sill member on the bottom.

Abstract: A window frame member for inclusion in a window frame assembly is disclosed. The window frame member includes a channel shaped to accept an edge of a siding or sheathing product attached to a structure. The channel has sufficient depth to at least partially cover the siding or sheathing during expansion or contraction of the siding or sheathing. The window frame member also includes a first flange portion that may be used to attach the frame member to the structure. The window frame member also includes a second flange portion that cooperates with the channel to cover the siding or sheathing.

Abstract: A method is described of making a plurality of window frame members having different end use applications on a single production line. The method comprises the step of extruding from a single die plate a master window frame member having at least two flange portion extending therefrom. The method also comprises the step of cutting at least one flange portion at a predetermined location to create a functional frame member having a specific end use application.
