Whether you’re working with indoor or outdoor applications, crossheads are an excellent design improvement to the outer casings of doorways and wid-
ows. Often used in tandem with other architectural trim items like pilasters, crossheads provide outstanding visual improvement without spending a lot of
money.Crossheads are used by Contractors, Home Owners, and Home Improvement specialists to add strength, character and impressive artistic design
features to both the exterior and interior of your home.
You will need to measure the outside of your win-
dow, door, or installation area from trim to trim.
While measuring you will need to remember
that the top of the crosshead is wider than the
bottom.
You can either match the trim of your window,
door, or installation area to the bottom of the
crosshead or from the wider piece at the top.
