How to Save Time with Interior Trim Kits

Traditional trimming for window interiors can be messy and time-consuming. Thankfully, for contractors seeking a more effective alternative, Harvey has developed the ideal solution to cut out extraneous steps and make installing window trims simple and efficient, saving valuable time on any new construction project. Interior Trim Kits offer exactly what the installer needs for an effortless process that takes seconds instead of 45 minutes.

What are Interior Trim Kits?

Harvey Interior Trim Kits are an innovative solution for installing prefabricated interior window trims to any Harvey vinyl new construction window. All Harvey windows include a standard, built-in feature known as a receiver pocket that allows the trim kit to fit neatly and securely. To further simplify the installation process, interior trim kits have mitered corners and come with extension jambs already glued and backstitched, ready for application. Extension jambs are available for nearly any wall thickness for drywall or plaster and trim kits are available for most factory-mulled combinations, excluding shapes. The apron, which is a decorative trim that sits below the window’s stool and is similar to a wall’s molding, is cut perfectly to length with mitered returns and ships separately to be installed on-site.

Available in nine classic profiles, Harvey Interior Trim Kits are engineered with design elements that complement any home’s aesthetic. In addition, you have the added choices of either finger-jointed pre-primed pine or clear pine.

In addition to interior trim kits and exterior casings, there are a host of other time-saving Harvey solutions available to professionals that reduce the effort spent on often tedious tasks.
