A plastic window frame trim is for installation of a window in a corrugated metal building wall having a cut opening with a top edge, bottom edge, and side edges, each of the edges being backed by framing members. The window frame trim includes: a frame header J-channel with a flange; a frame footer J-channel with a flange; a pair of nailing fins; and fasteners. The trim header J-channel, footer J-channel, and nailing fins are attached to the window frame. The window frame is lifted so frame header J-channel flange slides between the top edge of the metal building wall and a framing member at the top of the cut opening. The window is lowered so footer J-channel flange slides between the bottom edge of the metal building wall and a framing member at the bottom of the cut opening so that window frame rest on the window sill. Fasteners attach the window frame to the framing members through the metal building wall. Trim caps snap over the nailing fins to finish the trimmed window.

1. An extruded plastic window frame exterior trim separate from and for a window with a frame having a top, bottom and sides, the window frame to be mounted in a corrugated metal building wall having a corrugated exterior skin, a vertically dimensioned cut window opening with internal adjacent vertical window studs and internal adjacent horizontal header and sill cross members, the window frame trim comprising: (a) an upwardly directed exposed header J-channel separate from the window frame having a rearwardly directed attachment flange securable to the top of the window frame, an upwardly directed exposed water deflecting gutter channel and a vertical flange to be positioned between the building skin and header cross member;(b) a downwardly directed exposed footer J-channel separate from the window frame having a rearwardly directed attachment flange securable to the bottom of the window frame, a vertical flange to be positioned between the building skin and footer cross member;(c) a pair of vertical nailing fins separate from the window frame each having a rearwardly directed attachment flange securable to one of the window frame sides; and(d) U-shaped vertical nailing fin trim caps to be fastened over and on top of the vertical nailing fins. 2. The plastic window frame trim of claim 1, wherein the nailing fins each further comprise a trim cap outward extension generally 90° from the window. 3. The plastic window frame trim of claim 2, wherein the nailing fins and trim cap outward extensions have vertical screw channels for receiving screws through the J-channels to secure the J-channels to the nailing fins. 4. The plastic window frame trim of claim 1, wherein the window frame trim is dimensioned vertically greater than the vertically dimensioned cut window opening to secure the window trim behind the building skin. 5. The plastic window frame trim of claim 1, wherein the nailing fins have detents and the nailing fin trim caps have barbs to interlock the nailing fins with the nailing fin trim caps. 6. The plastic window frame trim of claim 1, wherein the nailing fins have apertures for receiving screws to secure the window frame and trim to wall studs. 7. The plastic window frame trim of claim 6, wherein the apertures comprise at least one crisscross adjustment slot in each of the nailing fins to accommodate expansion and contraction of the metal building skin and wall. 8. A plastic extruded window frame exterior trim separate from and for a window with a frame having top, bottom and sides, the window frame to be mounted in a corrugated metal building wall having a corrugated exterior skin, a vertically dimensioned cut window opening with internal adjacent vertical window studs and internal adjacent horizontal header and sill cross members, the window frame trim comprising: (a) an upwardly directed exposed header J-channel separate from the window frame having a rearwardly directed attachment flange securable to the top of the window frame, an upwardly directed exposed water deflecting gutter channel and a vertical flange to be positioned between the building skin and header cross member;(b) a downwardly directed exposed footer J-channel separate from the window frame having a rearwardly directed attachment flange securable to the bottom of the window frame, a vertical flange to be positioned between the building skin and footer cross member;(c) a pair of vertical nailing fins separate from the window frame each having a rearwardly directed attachment flange securable to one of the window frame sides wherein the nailing fins each further comprise a trim cap outward extension generally 90° from the window; and(d) U-shaped vertical nailing fin trim caps to be fastened over and on top of the vertical nailing fins, wherein the window frame trim is dimensioned vertically greater than the vertically dimensioned cut window opening to secure the window trim behind the building skin. 9. The plastic window frame trim of claim 8, wherein the nailing fins and trim cap outward extensions have vertical screw channels for receiving screws through the J-channels to secure the J-channels to the nailing fins. 10. The plastic window frame trim of claim 8, wherein the nailing fins have detents and the nailing fin trim caps have barbs to interlock the nailing fins with the nailing fin trim caps. 11. The plastic window frame trim of claim 8, wherein the nailing fins have apertures for receiving screws to secure the window frame and trim to wall studs. 12. The plastic window frame trim of claim 11, wherein the apertures comprise at least one crisscross adjustment slot in each of the nailing fins to accommodate expansion and contraction of the metal building skin and wall. 13. A plastic extruded window frame exterior trim separate from and for a window with a frame having top, bottom and sides, the window frame to be mounted in a corrugated metal building wall having a corrugated exterior skin, a vertically dimensioned cut window opening with internal adjacent vertical window studs and internal adjacent horizontal header and sill cross members, the window frame trim comprising: (a) an upwardly directed exposed header J-channel separate from the window frame having a rearwardly directed attachment flange securable to the top of the window frame, an upwardly directed exposed water deflecting gutter channel and a vertical flange to be positioned between the building skin and header cross member;(b) a downwardly directed exposed footer J-channel separate from the window frame having a rearwardly directed attachment flange securable to the bottom of the window frame, a vertical flange to be positioned between the building skin and footer cross member;(c) a pair of vertical nailing fins separate from the window frame each having a rearwardly directed attachment flange securable to one of the window frame sides wherein the nailing fins each further comprise a trim cap outward extension generally 90° from the window frame, the nailing fins and trim cap outward extensions have vertical screw channels for receiving screws through the J-channels to secure the J-channels to the nailing fins, the nailing fins have detents; and(d) U-shaped vertical nailing fin trim caps to be fastened over and on top of the vertical nailing fins, the nailing fin trim caps have barbs to interlock the nailing fins with the nailing fin trim caps detents wherein the window frame trim is dimensioned vertically greater than the vertically dimensioned cut window opening to secure the window trim behind the building skin. 14. A method of installing a plastic extruded window frame exterior trim separate from but mounted onto a window frame, the window frame to be installed in a corrugated metal building wall having a corrugated exterior skin, a vertically dimensioned cut window opening smaller than the vertical dimension of the window frame exterior trim, the window opening having internal adjacent vertical window studs and internal adjacent horizontal header and sill cross members, the method comprising: (a) lifting the window frame with exterior trim fastened thereto having an upwardly directed exposed header J-channel with an upwardly directed vertical flange to be positioned between the building skin and header cross member;(b) lowering the window frame with exterior trim having a downwardly directed exposed footer J-channel with a vertical flange to be positioned between the building skin and footer cross member thereby resting the window on the sill cross member;(c) securing with fasteners a pair of trim vertical nailing fins between the J-channels to the window studs and securing with fasteners the vertical flanges behind the building skin; and(d) fastening U-shaped vertical nailing fin trim caps over the vertical nailing fins.
