Both external and internal plastic window trims are quite simple, but at the same time very useful details. Select and install the corner trim that hides installation seam, anyone can do it, but to do this you need to understand the design of the product and analyze the method of its installation.

Features of plastic platbands

Production and varieties

When installing PVC windows into an opening, there is almost always a need to, one way or another, disguise the installation seam at the junction of the window structure and the wall railing. A variety of parts are used for this purpose, but the most common are strips in the form of smooth strips and corner trims.

Today, two types of products are mass produced - those made of sheet plastic, and polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride parts produced using extrusion technology.

You can compare their features in the table below:

Material	Operational Features
Sheet plastic	The parts are produced by stamping and usually have a flat configuration. The panel covering the installation seam can be either monolithic or heterogeneous, with a less dense core. Sheet plastic is characterized by a low coefficient of change in dimensions, therefore, with temperature changes, the casing is practically not deformed. The use of such products allows them to be installed with minimal compensation gaps, which makes the entire structure more accurate.
Polyurethane/PVC	Constructions complex shape made from polyvinyl chloride or polyurethane in the same way as the profile itself metal-plastic windows– by extrusion. Pressing the molten raw material through calibration die frames allows you to give the part almost any configuration. So, for example, platbands with cable ducts made of plastic are made in exactly this way. The downside is the tendency to change linear dimensions when there are temperature changes, so during installation the instructions provide for leaving an expansion gap.

In addition, the platbands also differ in appearance. The main parameters will be surface topography and coloring.

Based on the structure of the front panel, the following products are distinguished:

• smooth – glossy or matte, with a smooth, uniform surface;
• textured - with a texture applied to the front surface;
• relief - with an ornament or pattern.

As for color, the following options are available:

• white - the most common, which is characterized by a minimum price;
• laminated - parts with a white base on which a decorative polymer film is glued;
• mass-painted - produced by extrusion or stamping from polymer raw materials with the addition of persistent pigments.

Main advantages

For plastic trim used for decoration window openings, there are several undeniable advantages:

1. Polymer materials not only reliably protect the assembly seam from external influences, but are also practically not affected by humidity, temperature changes and ultraviolet radiation.

Note! Economy class products may change shade when exposed to bright sun for a long time: white ones turn yellow or lose their characteristic shine, tinted ones partially fade.

1. The service life of the finishing panels is quite comparable to the service life of the window itself.
2. Despite the relatively small thickness, the strips have quite acceptable mechanical strength. At the same time, the low weight ensures a reduction in the load on the window itself, the junction unit and the enclosing structure.

1. The appearance of the platbands is quite attractive, especially since we can always choose a product of the same shade as the window frame.
2. Finally, the cost of the products distinguishes them favorably from.

Also, the advantages of such details include quite easy installation with your own hands. The installation technology will be described in the next section.

Installation on a window opening

Both decorative colored and standard white plastic trim are installed using the same algorithm. The differences lie only in the method of fixing the part to the wall or structure, but we will talk about this below.

So, we carry out the work in the following sequence:

1. First, we determine the dimensions of the window opening by measuring the length of all sections on which decorative strips will be installed.
2. To the obtained values ​​we add one or two widths of the casing, depending on whether the corners will be joined on one or both sides.
3. We cut fragments from a solid plank (usually its length is from 2 to 6 m) required length. For trimming, we use either a sharp knife with a strong blade or a plastic file with fine teeth.
4. We cut the edges of the parts at an angle of 45 0.

Important! Where the casing will fit the window sill or drainage, we do not trim, or we form a small sample so that the gap is minimal.

1. We apply the products to the opening and, if necessary, make adjustments.

Now all we have to do is install the casing on the window opening.

Fixation is carried out in three ways:

• wide and thick parts are secured using self-tapping screws, screwing them through drilled holes into dowels driven into the wall;
• light varieties are installed on moisture-resistant glue such as “liquid nails”;
• if the platband is placed on a slope finished using plastic lining or sandwich panels, then fastening to the latches located on the reverse side of the structure is quite acceptable.

Platbands allow you to remove cracks with gaps between the wall and window frame that remain after installation work. And also this element gives the building an original and attractive look. Every home owner should know how to choose plastic window trims to improve their home.

Peculiarities

Platbands are structural products that are used for finishing windows. With their help, you can hide installation gaps, ensuring protection of the heat-insulating layer from the effects external factors. This element is also responsible for the decorative component of windows. Platband can be used for interior and exterior decoration of window openings.

First of all, the platband is installed on the windows in order to close the gap, which is located between the walls and the window frame.

The element acts as auxiliary protection against the effects of precipitation, dust and noise. And also rise thermal insulation qualities window.

Platbands can perform a decorative function, giving the building design a touch of individuality. There are different variations of products on sale that will harmoniously combine with any style. Previously, windows were framed with wooden frames, but currently manufacturers offer modern plastic products that differ high quality and a wide variety of designs.

The following tasks are assigned to plastic platbands:

• combining mating surfaces;
• they give the window structure a finished image;
• security of the connecting seam, which is located between window block and a wall.

Despite the fact that platbands are considered small design, they have numerous functions. Proper installation and the right choice of design can complement the building and create maximum harmony between the wall, platband and walls.

The decorative component is important quality, since with the help of platbands the facade of the building takes on a complete and neat appearance. But such components also extend the service life of windows by hiding the connecting seams, which are susceptible to negative external factors.

Despite the fact that the market is presented wide choose plastic platbands, All specifications and product sizes are tied to the requirements put forward by GOST and TU.

Platbands have many positive qualities.

• Resistant to adverse weather conditions. Plastic is not afraid of sunlight and moisture.
• Affordable price category. Price plastic products lower compared to wooden overlays.
• Variety of colors. The most commonly used are white and brown colors, however, manufacturers offer other shades that match the design of the façade of the building. With the help of well-chosen colors you can give the building a catchy and exclusive look.

• The plastic casing is not subject to deformation after prolonged contact with moisture and temperature changes.
• Plastic trims are easy to install. Overlay strips are secured using adhesives right on window profile. But the use of special removable parts is also allowed.
• Plastic does not require special care, unlike wood. To remove dirt, a damp sponge is enough.
• The material can imitate natural wood, so it can be used to frame wooden windows.
• The low weight of the products simplifies the installation process. When framing small window openings, double-sided tape is used.

• Many manufacturers offer plastic trims with a cable channel, thanks to which you can hide the wires around the window without losing their attractiveness.
• On construction market There are products designed for buildings that are sheathed with metal or PVC siding. Such planks have a special installation system.
• Plastic is not afraid of contact with insects and other pests. And also mold and mildew do not form on it.
• The products have a long service life.

But there are also disadvantages.

• Limited color range, mostly white and shades of brown, as well as a small selection of models and styles. However, the modern market in Lately is becoming increasingly diverse in this category.
• Still, this is artificial material. Plastic trim will look ridiculous on a wooden house. The problem can be solved by using wood trim.

Despite the shortcomings, the listed features make plastic platbands popular in their segment. A pleasant price-quality ratio influences the choice of many buyers.

Kinds

Despite the fact that plastic serves as the basis for plastic trims, the products are divided into several types.

Flat

They are made from sheet plastic. Typically, this material is used in the production of flat platbands. There are monolithic variations, as well as products with a heterogeneous interior. Sheet material has a low stretch coefficient, so the planks do not deform due to temperature changes. Therefore, during installation there is no need to create large thermal gaps. Since plastic does not absorb moisture, it does not change due to swelling.

Flat plastic trims are the most common option, as they are easy to manufacture and install. This option is used in the case when no frills are needed to frame the slope.

Embossed

There are also PVC trims or polyurethane products. Their use allows you to create relief products that are obtained by pressing or casting. Polyurethane or PVC materials- This is a universal element that can be installed indoors and outdoors. They are immune to UV rays and can withstand different temperatures.

Complex shapes are made in the same way as a metal-plastic profile - using the extrusion method. By pressing the molten material through a calibration frame, products of any shape are obtained. Using this method, platbands equipped with a cable channel are created.

The overlay strip may have different designs And color scheme. There are white, colored and patterned variations on sale. Products that imitate natural materials are in demand.

The profiled overlay strip has a convex surface. The profile can be symmetrical or asymmetrical with different angles. Most often, platbands with a width of 50 and 80 mm are used. Some users choose self-adhesive trim, which is used for interior work. Such products are supplied in rolls. The most commonly used widths are: 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 mm.

The structure of the platbands can be overhead or telescopic. The last variety is a special Lego-style structure, where all the parts are connected with locks. Usually the package includes extras. Purchasing plastic strips with additional trim allows you to simplify the process of framing colored or stylized wood windows.

Installation

Installation of plastic strips can be done in several ways.

• Using mounting components. This option is considered the most common. The products are fixed directly to the wall or window block.
• Fastening with mounting clips. Fasteners are mounted on the window frame, on top of which a casing is placed, and it is fixed until a characteristic click is formed.
• Using double-sided tape. This method is not reliable, so it is rarely used. Strong wind capable of tearing slats from windows.

If you need to install plastic trim using fasteners, you must follow the sequence of actions.

• First of all, you need to take measurements from the window frame. You will need the height value from the top to the bottom point. To the resulting value you should add the width of the strip if there is an ebb at the bottom, or two widths (when installation is made along the entire perimeter of the window).
• After the calculations have been made, you can begin cutting the products. You will need to cut out the pieces that will be used for the horizontal and vertical parts of the casing.
• On each platband you will need to make a cut, the angle of which is 45 degrees. This action allows you to join all the parts around the perimeter of the window opening. For a competent and efficient cut desired angle, you can use a special mounting bracket. On this tool the necessary markings are present, which eliminates errors.

The following requirements are put forward for cuts:

• there should be two cuts on the horizontal overhead strip;
• on vertical parts, cuts should also be present on both sides (if a closed connection is planned), or only on one side (for windows with ebbs).

When the platbands are ready for installation, you can begin fixing the top part. To do this, you will need to create a mark on the wall to which the fastening will be made. Then you need to create holes using a hammer drill. Dowels are inserted into the resulting recesses. You can use plastic or nylon fasteners. Marks for holes are made on the platband. The elements are fixed using self-tapping screws. Installation of other overhead strips is carried out in the same way.

Make sure that the joints are tight. The design must have a neat appearance.

In the next video you will clearly see the installation of PVC trim.

How to choose the right size?

Correctly calculating the dimensions for the platband is a responsible step that needs to be taken seriously. Otherwise, you may find that at the final stage of work you will find that a few millimeters are missing to match the window opening. Right choice sizes ensures perfect alignment of the planks at the corners.

Platbands are the overhead strips that frame the window. They have important function- hide the gap between the window frame and the wall of the house, thereby protecting the home from drafts, heat loss and moisture ingress. They often serve unusual decoration at home, and in ancient times they were even a talisman against evil spirits.

Carved platbands window decorations were popular in our country before the arrival of the Bolsheviks, who considered home decoration an excess. Now the popularity of decorated window frames has begun to increase again.

Types of platbands

There are many types of platbands, which differ in design, material and installation method. Based on the type of installation, they are divided into overhead-type and telescopic platbands.

The invoices are attached directly to window frame synthetic glue, special spikes, using nails, and telescopic ones are fixed in the space between the window frame and the wall.

Materials

For the manufacture of platbands, materials such as wood, plastic and MDF are used.

Wooden window frames are very practical and will easily fit into any interior. Natural wood It lends itself well to processing and a carved pattern will look great on it.

Plastic trims are practical, convenient and can replicate the texture of wood. They are very budget-friendly, do not require such careful maintenance as wooden trims, but they also do not look as impressive. Their advantage is their resistance to temperature and humidity changes, which saves them from deformation and increases their service life. The downside will be the paucity of choice of color, shape and texture of the trim.

MDF trim ( fiberboard medium density) combine the environmental friendliness of wood and the strength of plastic thanks to a special water-repellent impregnation. Unfortunately, the disadvantage of MDF is the low strength of the material compared to plastic and wood.

Also available for sale metal trims, but they have a purely functional meaning and have no artistic value.

Wooden frames will look harmonious on windows wooden houses, metal ones go well with plastic and metal-plastic facade panels, plastic ones will fit plastic siding, and products made from MDF are more often used inside the house.

The advantage of using platbands on windows in a house is the ability to visually expand window openings and increase the height of the building. By choosing the same ornament of the platbands, you can create a complete architectural ensemble on your site.

Making platbands with your own hands

To get a high-quality result of the work, you need to choose the right wood from which the casing will be made. For this purpose, timber made of pine, oak, birch, linden, walnut or alder is used. Wood from fruit trees is also used.

For the first experience of making a frame with a carved pattern, linden, aspen and alder are better suited - they are soft-leaved trees, so even inexperienced people can easily carve a pattern on them. Important correct processing clypeus - this wood is very hygroscopic and subject to rapid rotting.

A more suitable choice would be deciduous or coniferous species tree. Birch and pine have a sufficient margin of safety and are quite easy to process.

Platbands made of oak and ash (hardwood) are very difficult for beginners to process due to their increased hardness. They are very reliable and durable, but it is better to entrust the manufacture of platbands from these types of wood to professionals.

For execution small parts fruit species are well suited for clypeus.

timber

To choose the right timber, a few tips will help you:

• Do not buy timber with a blue or black tint - this indicates the presence of fungus in the wood
• Do not buy third-grade wood, the savings will be insignificant, but the quality will be noticeably lower, which will affect the durability of the final product
• Do not take a curved beam - it is very difficult to straighten it.

Typically the thickness of the platband is 20-35 mm. Try to select the right thickness of timber immediately, so as not to waste a lot of time on cutting and processing

The standard length of the timber is 220 cm, so buy wood with a reserve - you will be left with a lot of scraps that are better not to use - the components of the casing will only ruin it appearance and functionality.

Dimensions

The width of window casings ranges from 100 to 250 mm. To cut the workpiece required width, nail a beam around the perimeter of the window different thicknesses and see from afar which thickness will look more harmonious.

Please note that the casing should extend onto the frame by 5-10 mm and top part may significantly exceed the width of the side and bottom parts.

To ensure that your product does not interfere with opening the windows, during installation you need a distance from the hinges of about 10-20 cm, take this into account when taking measurements.

Thread

To make a pattern on a workpiece yourself, you will need a set of wood carving chisels, saws and many other tools. Their set depends on the complexity and type of pattern you choose. On this moment The advent of modern power tools makes the job much easier.

The most commonly used carving techniques are:

• Through type of processing. In this case, the design is sawn or cut through the wood. These patterns are made using a saw and jigsaw. This technique helps create openwork, lacy-looking products.
• The flat creased type is characterized by the creation of a pattern that will be lower in level than the main background. When choosing this technique, you will need a knife, semicircular chisels and cutters.
• Relief type. The elements in it are somewhat raised above the rest of the background. To create it, you need chisels of various shapes.

Patterns

To create interesting design platbands, you should look for photos of window platbands on the Internet. This will allow you to decide on the color, texture and pattern of the intended product.

Nowadays it is easy to find stencils for window frames in the public domain. You should not choose complex patterns for your first wood carving experience. It is important that all products must display the same pattern.

Once you have found the wood and stencil that suits your needs, print the desired pattern in life size and place it on the workpiece, attaching it with buttons.

When placing the stencil, make sure that the carving will go along the grain of the wood and not across it. Transfer the pattern to the workpiece and you can start carving. Don't rush, it may ruin the workpiece.

Be sure to thoroughly sand the resulting pattern, and then remove wood shavings and dust from hard to reach places vacuum cleaner.

Installation

Attach decorative trims To wooden frame You can use self-tapping screws, nails without heads and special spikes. For plastic frames, only liquid nails are used.

Care

As for plastic, metal and MDF trims, they are unpretentious in maintenance. Just repaint them occasionally and protect them from corrosion.

Photos of window trims

How to install plastic trim on windows: varieties, finishing, do-it-yourself installation. Plastic windows, or rather their finishing, are regulated by certain standards.

If you look at preliminary work, pay attention to GOST 30971. So you can see with your own eyes how to properly finish the window perimeter, in which places you should apply anchor plates and why you need to use a vapor barrier membrane.

If you adhere to these standards, you have a guarantee that the structure will not succumb to the force of the wind and will not crumble polyurethane foam and the frame will not be left without support. By the way, most of the controversy arises precisely on the topic of fastening, not finishing. If speak about finishing works, then everything here is practically the same.

Note, that the finishing of plastic windows consists precisely in the installation of platbands, window sills and slopes.

At the same time, everything should look harmonious. This is what will happen main theme articles.

Initial preparation for finishing

Functions

The main function is to connect two mating surfaces so that the wall and window have a complete look. In addition, the casing covers the connecting seam from negative factors and their effects: direct UV rays, moisture. To some extent, the casing even protects against temperature changes, but this depends on the material from which it is made.

The last function is purely decorative, although for some it comes first. But this also largely depends on the shape and material.

Varieties

The most common option is flat. It's popular and a budget option, the advantage of which is that they are easy to install and manufacture. If you don't need any fancy decorations, these will be perfect for you.

This variety, such as profiled platbands, differs from flat ones in the presence of a convexity a certain shape on outside. This surface can be on both a symmetrical and asymmetrical profile. Sometimes a profile has not only a curved surface, but also corners. When difficult, combined form, roundness and angles will be combined. Shaped-type platbands have a relief on the outside.

Note, that the relief on the surface can be complex, and the platbands themselves can be made of wood or PVC with wood imitation.

And finally, carved platbands are a work of art that are made from any material, in particular wood. But they do not always combine beautifully with plastic windows and do not fit into the style.

Materials for the manufacture of plastic platbands for windows

The most common material is sheet plastic, which is often used to create flat trim. It can be monolithic, or it can have an internal part that is structured. Plastic perfectly withstands temperature changes, exposure to sunlight and humidity. It is produced in all shades, and this makes it possible to choose platbands to match the color of the windows.

It is worth noting important detail: plastic has a low elongation coefficient. Thanks to this property, the platbands will not be deformed during temperature changes. When installing, do not leave thermal gaps - this action will help to avoid the absorption of water by plastics, eliminating the possibility of deformation and other negative consequences.

The second option for platbands made from materials of artificial origin are platbands made of polyurethane or PVC. Thanks to the properties of these materials, you can make not just flat platbands, but with a profile surface, or items with a complex external configuration thanks to pressing or the casting method.

The next material is MDF. As a rule, these are profile-type platbands or simple flat ones. They are usually used for installation inside a building. But the whole point is that MDF does not tolerate humidity changes very well, which occur when exterior decoration. At MDF installation outdoors, its service life is reduced significantly.

Place of purchase

You can buy platbands for plastic windows from the same companies from which you ordered the windows. They belong to the category of accessories, but are not at all necessary during installation.

Dimensions (standard):

• Length – 2.2 m.
• Width: 4-7 cm.

Is it worth doing it yourself?

For those who decided to install platbands, this issue has become a pressing problem. Some people solve the problem by simply starting to do everything themselves, while others turn to companies that provide such services for help. For those who decide to contact the company, you will be pleased to know that there is a wide selection of products.

If you are a good builder, then it will not be difficult for you to carry out the installation yourself, but if you are not confident in your abilities, it will be better to turn to specialists. Designers who help you choose platbands will help you choose from all the options the sample that is ideal for your windows. The good news is that the price of this pleasure is low, and the result will really please you from year to year.

Installation of plastic windows should be done in such a way that the window is flush with the wall. In order to disguise the resulting joint, special metal, wooden or plastic platbands are most often used. plastic windows and slopes, which can be bought almost everywhere for a very small price.

Types of platbands

The trim on a PVC window made of plastic, metal or other material should not only disguise the joint resulting from the installation of a plastic window, but also fit into the overall design. For this purpose, there are a huge number of varieties of platbands for a slope or window made of metal, plastic and wood, among which the following main types can be distinguished:

1. Flat trim for slopes or exterior finishing made of plastic. This option is the most popular due to its low cost and availability. Installing such platbands for the street or slopes will not require much effort, so you can install them yourself. Flat window frames are suitable for those who prefer simplicity in the interior.
2. The platbands for shaped windows are distinguished by the fact that they have a relief surface. They can be made of wood or another material that imitates it, for example, plastic. Shaped-type window frames are most suitable for people who love originality and non-standard solutions in interior design. The price will depend on the material from which the product will be made and its complexity. Wooden frames will cost more than their plastic counterparts.
3. Profiled platbands for windows. They differ from flat models in that their outer side is convex. Such platbands are more expensive than flat ones, but they are considered more stylish.
4. Carved window frames. Such models are the most expensive. And this is not surprising, because they are practically works of art. In photos of wooden houses you can often see carved window frames installed on the street side, made in different colors which look very nice. And if previously wood was used as a material for their manufacture, now plastic platbands for windows in a wooden house, having a carved shape, are increasingly found.

Plastic trim for windows

Plastic window trims have a number of advantages:

• Unlike wooden casing, plastic does not rot, does not mold or is affected by fungus;
• The plastic casing on a plastic window is waterproof, so it successfully protects the window structure from moisture penetration through the installation gaps;
• Unlike metal, plastic window trim does not corrode;
• Plastic casing is inexpensive;
• Plastic window frames can be not only white. Carved PVC platbands, made to look like wood, look like real wood in the photo, and their price is much lower;
• Installing a plastic platband on a slope or window allows you to increase the thermal insulation and soundproofing properties window design;
• White or colored plastic trim on plastic windows from the street looks very aesthetically pleasing and organic;
• The plastic casing is strong, durable, and practically not deformed;
• Installation of plastic trim on window slopes is simple;
• The PVC casing is easy to care for: if it gets dirty, just wipe it with a damp cloth;
• Plastic window frames, unlike metal ones, are lightweight, so they can be installed on the window structure using ordinary double-sided tape.

Window trims can be simple overhead or part of a structure consisting of elements and locks. In the second option, PVC platband is often used for the slope. Examples of plastic platbands can be seen in the photo

Metal trims for windows

Metal window frames are most often made from sheet metal small thickness.

Advantages of metal platbands:

• the resistance of metal platbands to mechanical damage is much higher than that of plastic platbands;
• Metal trims are durable;
• Metal window frames can be of various shapes;
• If necessary, metal trims can be painted;
• Affordable cost of metal window frames.

To ensure that the installation of metal trim on windows occurs without problems, it is very important to accurately take all measurements. Otherwise metallic profile You will have to cut it by hand, and making an even cut yourself is quite difficult.

Metal window frames can be carved. Such metal products can decorate the window structure wooden house or apartments and will last a long time.

Materials for making platbands

1. Tree. To finish PVC windows on wooden houses on the street side, platbands made of wood are often used. In the photo you can see wooden window frames painted in various colors, which look very organic. The disadvantages of the material include instability to moisture and fire, susceptibility to deformation, and rotting. The advantages include environmental friendliness, ease of processing and aesthetic appearance, especially on wooden houses.
2. Metal. The second name for metal platbands on windows is flashings. The materials used are thin metal sheets. Metal window frames can be easily processed, which significantly expands their range. Among other advantages, excellent performance characteristics metal products and the ability to paint the surface of metal trims in any color. Beautiful ornate metal trims will especially decorate wooden house. Photos of metal frames for windows can be seen below.
3. PVC. White and colored PVC trim for window slopes are the most common. This is explained by the large number of advantages of plastic platbands with almost complete absence of disadvantages. The plastic platband, installed on the street side, easily withstands any weather conditions. The photo shows that the plastic platband can be made in various forms and flowers.
4. Polyurethane. Window casings made of this material are more durable than PVC casings. Polyurethane platbands on plastic windows can withstand even very low temperature and prevent snow and rain from getting into the house from the street.
5. Dense foam. Such platbands for plastic windows have a low mechanical strength, especially when compared with metal ones, so they are especially rarely used in countries with a high probability of earthquakes. The white foam casing on the window can be painted any color if desired.

How to install platbands correctly

Metal, plastic and wooden trims on plastic windows and slopes can be attached in several ways. The most common method is installation using mounting elements. First, the top trim strip is attached, and then all the others. Installation is done end-to-end so that window design It looked neat from the street.

Methods of attaching platbands to plastic windows

• PVC trims can be attached to windows using double-sided tape. However, a plastic casing installed in this way may not withstand strong gusts of wind;
• Installation of a metal, wood or plastic platband on a plastic window can be done using mounting elements. This method of attaching platband to plastic windows is the most popular;
• Installation of metal and plastic trim on PVC windows using adhesive composition is not the best option due to low adhesive strength.

Installing plastic trim on windows: video

Below you can watch the video of how to install PVC trim on windows with your own hands.

DIY window frames

Making PVC trim for windows is easy. Plastic casing on plastic windows is usually installed using fasteners, so we will consider this option.

1. The height and width of the window are measured plastic frame. Two widths of the future plastic casing for the window are added to the obtained values.
2. Next you need to buy a plastic sheet. Horizontal and vertical parts of the plastic casing are cut out of it for a plastic window of the required width.
3. After the plastic trims are cut, you need to make a cut at their ends at an angle of 45°. In this way, the parts of the plastic platbands will be joined along the entire perimeter of the plastic window.

It’s not very difficult to make wooden platbands with your own hands, but hardware It is unlikely that it will be possible to make it at home.
