window casings

Trim around glass

Window casings are the decorative trim pieces that frame a window, covering the gap between the window frame and the surrounding wall.

They serve both functional and aesthetic purposes—hiding rough edges and construction seams while providing a finished look: We painted the window casings to match the baseboards.

Casing style often defines a room's architectural character.
