What is this aluminum cladding around the window called? - hmwadeseo - 07-28-2025
What’s up carpenters. It’s your typical dumbass sparky here trying to learn something. This picture is of my window obviously. I’m trying to figure out what to call this aluminum trim around my window. My goal is to replace it with something a little better looking, maybe not recessed? I looked up “aluminum window trim exterior” but it seems like there are multiple things that could be. Ideally I would like to trim around my windows and doors with some nice wood or just something more architectural and nice looking. So 1. What is it called? And 2. Could I potentially just trim over this recessed aluminum? It almost seems like it was installed as a flashing or like it’s unfinished if that makes sense. Also I know the window is weirdly low. I’ll be moving it up or installing a shorter window first. If you look through the window you can see the counter top and sink in the kitchen sit about a foot higher than the window sill lol Thanks in advance
