PVC trims for finishing around windows are made of rigid PVC
Flat PVC window trims are 2 mm to 3 mm thick and come in 6 m lengths. Alongside them we make self-adhesive PVC trims with a sealing lip along one edge. The lip hides small irregularities in the wall beside the window, which improves the look of the finished trim.
Window trims are also produced foil-wrapped. PVC finishing trims are wrapped with foils from Continental (Hornschuch), Renolit, Cova and LG on laminating machines using the appropriate adhesives. Coloured finishing trims are 2.5 mm thick and come in 6 m lengths.
Coloured flat trims with a sealing lip are made too, with the lip colour matched to the Continental (Hornschuch) or Renolit foil - although these come in 5 m lengths. Plastic trims are produced both with and without adhesive tape. Both white PVC trims and decorative wrapped trims serve as the finishing detail of the window.

PVC trims at windows - what they are for and when they are used
Flat PVC trims are used above all to finish the area around windows and doors neatly. They conceal fitting gaps, polyurethane foam and small irregularities where the window frame meets the masonry. They make it possible to finish windows quickly and cleanly, with no additional plastering or painting. This works both in new buildings and during renovation, where improving the look of a room quickly is what counts.
Foil-wrapped PVC trims - when are they the best choice?
Foil-wrapped PVC trims are used where, besides concealing, the colour match to the windows and the interior matters. Thanks to the decorative foil they are easily matched to the joinery for a coherent finish. The range includes rigid PVC trims in white, with a seal, and foil wrapped. The seal is colour-matched to the wrap, which improves the overall look. Durable decorative foils are used in production, among them Hornschuch, Renolit, LG and Cova. Most models have a self-adhesive layer, which allows quick fitting without extra tools. PVC resists moisture and is easy to look after - occasional cleaning is enough to keep it looking right.
Find the trim that best solves your problem
PVC trims (flat and hollow-chamber) differ mainly in construction, in whether they have seals and adhesive tape, and in shape (the lip). These features directly determine their use in construction, finishing and fitting. Our range includes: 1. Flat PVC trims with adhesive tape, which have a smooth surface. They carry adhesive tape underneath and can be fitted without drilling. They are used for: concealing gaps, finishing at walls and floors, quick renovation work. Flat PVC trims with adhesive tape are an excellent choice for anyone looking for a quick, simple solution where drilling is best avoided (a rented flat, for instance) or for light cosmetic finishing. 2. PVC hollow-chamber trims are distinguished by their chambered construction, that is they are hollow inside. Compared with a flat trim they are stiffer and therefore insulate better. We recommend them especially for running cables, concealing larger irregularities and for electrical and technical installations. 3. The flat PVC trim with a seal and adhesive tape combines a flat trim with a soft seal and fitting tape. The trim therefore sits better against the surface. This type suits you when you need a neat solution that also protects against moisture. That is precisely why it is the best answer for finishing bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms. 4. Flat PVC trim with a seal and tape + hollow-chamber trim. A combination of two technologies offering a wide range of uses thanks to its versatility. This pairing suits comprehensive interior fit-outs, construction investments and renovation firms looking for proven solutions. The flat PVC trim with a seal and tape + hollow-chamber trim is a versatile answer for customers who are not quite sure what they need, or as a bulk solution for large projects. 5. The flat PVC trim without a lip and without adhesive tape has a minimal profile, no fitting tape and no protruding lip. It gives interiors a neat, modern look and suits high-end schemes. Another clear advantage is fitting with construction adhesive, which gives a clean line and lasts for years. 6. The flat PVC trim without a lip but with adhesive tape is an excellent answer if you want to combine a neat appearance with simple fitting. It suits light finishing work in offices, flats and commercial premises, where looks and fitting time both count.

Fitting usually means bonding the trim to a previously prepared surface. It is essential that the wall and the window frame are dry and free of dust and grease. The trim should be degreased before use; then, after applying adhesive or removing the backing, press it down evenly along its whole length so that it adheres well. If necessary the piece can be cut to size beforehand.
This option is chosen mainly when quick fitting without tools is what matters. It works particularly well in flats that are already finished, or where the wall surfaces should not be disturbed, in a rented property for instance.
In that case masking components are used to cover the gap between the frame and the masonry. The installation then looks neat and gains protection against dirt and damage. It is one of the most commonly used solutions when finishing windows.
Durability depends mainly on the quality of the surface and the way the trim is fitted. If the substrate was well prepared and the trim firmly pressed down, the bond holds for a long time. Problems with lifting usually stem from moisture or dirt during fitting.
They can be used where the surface deviates only slightly, since flexible components follow the substrate well. Where the unevenness is greater, additional adhesive or levelling the wall first gives a better and neater result.
