About Window Headers
Make your windows stand out with flat panel or dentil headers
Mid-America window headers can be installed on vinyl, wood, engineered wood, fiber cement, brick or stucco home exteriors. They’re lightweight, big on style and give homes a more complete look.
Install direct or cut to fit
Window headers come in a variety of popular window widths. For custom fits, you can cut the header in the field and use the supplied center keystone for a professional finish.
