Replacing your current windows with new, energy-efficient units is a great investment for your home. They may look good on their own, but adding interior trim can help highlight their features better. In that regard, choosing the trim that best suits your home’s interior decor is imperative.
Silver Leaf Contracting, one of the top roofing contractors in the area, also specializes in window replacement. Today, we share some handy tips for choosing the best interior trim for your new windows.
Consider Your Home’s Architectural Style
Your choice of interior trim for your windows depends on your home’s architectural style. For example, traditional homes such as Farmhouse and Craftsman feature windows with a simpler trim. Queen Anne, which is among the many vintage home styles known for its distinctive appearance, tends to have a thicker and more elaborate window trim. Modern and contemporary homes may feature interior window trim that’s simpler than their traditional counterparts.
Choose a Complete Window Trim
Window and roof repair experts recommend a complete window trim or casing if you want your windows to look more appealing and decorative. It is a type of molding that surrounds all four sides of the windows and may consist of multiple layers of stacked moldings. See to it that the complete interior trim matches the rest of the moldings inside your home.
Go for a Simpler Low-Profile Trim
A low-profile trim is a great choice if you want something simple and neat-looking for your windows. It lays flat against your interior walls, establishing a finished look while visually tying the new windows to the rest of your home. It doesn’t just provide aesthetic improvement but also ensures indoor comfort by preventing cold air from entering your home and keeping warm, heated air inside.
