Any Good Alternatives To Capping Windows With Aluminum Coil Stock?

Exteriors123

would you say the cost of the trim solutions products would be similar to the cost of capping and buying crowns separately?

Patrick

No, Deff higher. We sometimes wrap and buy just the crowns from them. They make them to our exact sizes so they are a perfect fit, and the screws are hidden behind a snap on freize

Here's a link to how we trim our windows. We bend an under J with metal and snap this over top of it, with a bend locking it into the J

very nice buddy
i never really got into the capped j trim,ive done a few but i don't think ive done a entire job like that

again nice work

how long do they usually last before the ho opened a car door /kids with hockey equip/string trimmers/snow shovels/bicycle take their toll
i guess it would be like that with anything tho

We do them, but we let the customer know we don't recommend it. That's just a sample, close up of our trim package. We do that ion all openings with our premium vinyl package.

Start by selling a good window that doesn't need to be wrapped. Wrapping that old wood is what the hacks do around here. It doesn't pay to cover up those old sills, just to be replaced by a good Contractor later.

For around doors and to decorate windows, Azek seem to work the best and is readily available.

Funny how you use the term hack. Just because you don't approve of capping a window with aluminum is no reason to use names.

Your definition is funny, because you are in a thread with at least 2 companies that do the window capping correctly and don't have this rot that you do with wood windows.
In fact. I think I will call you a hack for selling a product that you know is eventually going to rot.

How does it feel?

By the way, I have had occasion to fix or change windows on houses that have had windows capped right, guess what? No rot!
So hack, how does it feel to sell an inferior product that you know is going to rot??
