A thin shadowed line surrounding the window frame describes another contemporary approach to window trim. This one acknowledges the difference between window and wall but ever so subtly. Reveals can be created by using different extruded trims at the edges of the Sheetrock surrounding the window. These trims come in various widths and are fabricated from either metal or vinyl by manufacturers like Pittcon, Fry Reglet and Trim-tex. The reveal enables one to achieve a planar look to the wall without the added dimension of trim protruding outward. It’s a thoroughly modern aesthetic that quietly showcases the window frame as an opening, without the fussiness and associated stylistic hang-ups of trim. The Sheetrock finishing costs are higher with this type of treatment, but if it’s a tailored modern look you’re after, this is for you.
