About our architectural window surround systems
More than just trim, our surrounds are a complete system engineered to add depth and sophistication to any facade.
Built in three essential elements:
A window surround is more than trim; it’s the element that gives a facade rhythm, depth, and character. It answers the question, what is the term for the moulding that surrounds windows and doors? It’s the architectural frame. Our systems are crafted from high-density, structural EPS foam, creating a powerful statement of quality that transforms a simple opening into a sophisticated design feature.
Each window surround consists of three precision-made parts:
- Sill: The foundational bottom element that provides a visual base and helps direct water away from the facade.
- Jambs: The vertical side elements that frame the window, adding dimension and style.
- Head/Lintel: The top horizontal piece that completes the frame, available in profiles from sleek modern lines to classic arches.
Get a modular system that installs with seamless precision.
The science behind flawless exterior window surrounds
Our architectural window surrounds are built from an advanced composite of materials engineered for a century of performance. At the core is a structural, high-density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam, precision-cut with CNC technology to match your exact CAD specifications.
This perfectly shaped core is then encapsulated in our signature polyurea hard coat. Think of it as architectural armor. This spray-applied elastomer creates a seamless, waterproof, and impact-resistant shell, transforming the lightweight foam into a monolithic structure with incredible resilience.
The final layer is an integrated, architectural-grade finish that provides the authentic texture of stone or precast concrete and offers superior resistance to weathering, UV rays, and cracking. This advanced construction makes our external window surrounds robust, elegant, and virtually maintenance-free.

Before and after: a strategic transformation
BeforeAfter:
The Challenge: A new commercial building had a clean but monotonous facade. The simple, unadorned windows made the structure look flat and forgettable, failing to project the premium image needed to attract high-value tenants. The developer needed a high-impact upgrade without the cost and structural load of precast concrete.
The Solution: We engineered and delivered a complete system of modern, minimalist window surrounds with a limestone finish. The lightweight, pre-finished components were installed by a two-person crew in just three days, causing zero disruption. The design was tailored to complement the building’s contemporary architecture.
The ROI: The property was transformed from a generic box into a sophisticated architectural statement. This powerful new identity not only dramatically increased curb appeal but directly translated to a higher property valuation and faster lease-up with premium tenants. This wasn’t just trim; it was a strategic investment in architectural value.
How window surrounds define your building's identity
Window surrounds are more than decoration—they are the details that communicate intent and quality. A well-designed surround transforms a building from a mere structure into a piece of architecture, setting you apart before anyone steps inside.
- Creates visual hierarchy and rhythmA surround gives a window purpose and presence. It draws the eye, creates compelling shadow lines, and establishes a cohesive rhythm across the facade, demonstrating a thoughtful and deliberate design approach.
- Communicates quality & permanenceThe solid, monolithic look of our surrounds evokes the permanence of stone and concrete. It projects an image of stability and quality, building trust with clients, guests, and investors from the first glance.
- Durable first impressions, zero maintenanceUnlike wood that rots or concrete that can crack and stain, our polyurea-coated window surrounds are engineered to look premium on day one and day ten thousand. This low total cost of ownership is a smart, forward-thinking investment for any commercial property.
