We have one window in the center of our second story that is different than all the rest, and I cannot figure out how we should trim it. (We're using vinyl siding.) Here's a link to our front elevation, but please understand that the semi-circle window on top is a true semi-circle, which is not accurately depicted in the drawing. Here's a link:
For this arched window in the center, I know we won't be able to exactly match the other windows, so I figure the best look will be to set the center window off from the rest with trim that is slightly more ornate. I assume some sort of Fypon trim pieces should be used, but I'm not sure exactly what. A lot of that Fypon stuff looks a little too Colonial for my tastes, and we're trying to make this look like a farmhouse-type of style. And it's complicated by the fact that the trim needs to have some sort of J channel since we're using vinyl siding. Ideally the trim would have J channel built in to cover up the edges of the vinyl siding, but I suppose we could add Rollex's white flexible J channel around the trim.
Any ideas of where to go for some examples or how-tos? Suprisingly Fypon's site/catalog are not that helpful due to a lack of close-up high-res photos and limited examples in the "gallery."
If I had my way, I'd use the same Rollex 1x3.5 vinyl trim on the bottom and sides of the square part of the window ensemble, and then do something more ornate on the round part that is at least as thick as the Rollex so that the Rollex can die into the top trim. (The Rollex trim is hollow, so having the top trim hang over is probably necessary for shedding water.) And maybe there could be some kind of end cap between the top arch trim and the Rollex trim. But I don't know what. I wish there was an expert on the subject who is very familiar with the Fypon products that I could just pay to design something, but nobody seems to have that expertise.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, John
