Window mouldings are an indispensable assembly element during window finishing work. Despite their small size, they perform very important functions, affecting not only the aesthetics, but even the overall comfort and condition of our houses and flats. In order to adapt as much as possible to the needs of customers, the window moulding sector continues to refine the ideal products. Profigips, a manufacturer of building profiles, has already presented a novelty in this very segment, the universal window trim, at the very beginning of 2024. It will be available in two variants: with a seal and with a seal and mesh. In the remainder of this article, we will remind you of the functions of skirting boards and describe this product innovation, which will provide even more freedom and comfort in the use of skirting boards.
Window trims - what are their functions?
PVC, aluminium or steel mouldings and window profiles and eaves are fitted around the window frames. In this way, they fill the space between the window and the wall, levelling out irregularities and possible gaps. Why are they being installed? First and foremost, for, to aesthetically finish the window opening. Once the mouldings have been glued in, the final effect provides an elegant appearance to the window. In addition, you can use the many colour options availablewhich match the most popular frame colours (e.g. brown, graphite or golden oak).
If the profiles are installed correctly, the can make windows even more effectiveincluding, but not limited to, maintaining thermal comfort. They prevent heat loss and at the same time protect against the influx of cold. An extremely important function of skirting boards is also protection against moisture. The refined form of the profiles prevents rainwater from running off, but also prevents unsightly drips from forming on the façade. As a result, both the entire window and the adjacent walls resist damage and dirt for longer. Installation of skirting boards also has a very good effect on concealing inequalitiesor uneven edges around the window. Properly installed mouldings also create expansion joints between the window frame and the wall, allowing little movement in this area. This definitely minimises the formation of cracks in the plaster and the formation of gaps. This is another positive aspect of the slats, both aesthetically and technically.
Universal window profiles - new!
A novelty in the skirting boards segment is the recently presented Profigips ProColor universal window profiles. They are available in two variants - with gasket (protecting the window frames and foam from contamination during plastering work) and with gasket and mesh (ultrasonically bonded to the profile, enabling easier and stronger bonding to plaster and mounting adhesive). What is unique about them and what are their characteristics?
- Transparent colour - Thanks to the translucent material of the mouldings, they can perfectly match any window colour. This, in turn, helps to maintain the original aesthetics of the windows, which can be particularly important in original building projects, but also in renovation work on older buildings with non-standard frame shades.
- Optimum fit - The lack of colour and therefore the almost invisibility of the element allows it to match any style and character of the building, emphasising and highlighting the colour and aesthetics of the windows.
- High quality materials - The highest quality of the components used in production has made it possible to create a product with very high strength parameters. This ensures the durability of the skirting boards, but also reduces the risk of damage to the entire skirting area.
Window trims are an extremely important part of window treatment. They guarantee better thermal and functional performance of the windows, but also influence the final visual and decorative effect. The ability to choose and match the most popular window frame colours gave the option of combining the shades of both elements. Now, with Profigips' new universal window profile and its transparent colour, the possibilities are even greater and the effect can be truly remarkable. The high quality of the materials also gives us peace of mind and ensures many years of durability and strength.
