Window Header & Crossheads FAQs

Q1. What is a window crosshead?

A window crosshead is a decorative architectural element installed above a window that's commonly used to improve the look and style of an external or internal window.

Window crossheads often have some sort of architectural feature or details such as crown molding, keystones, or fluted pilasters, and they are commonly made from materials like wood, fiberglass, or polyurethane & in the case of our product line, they're all urethane, which provides a huge amount of durability.

Q2. What is a window header?

A window header is a structural beam that sits above a window with primary function of transferring the weight of the wall above to the structure on the sides of the window, to make it stronger.

Originally, window headers had the main purpose of being a structural component, but they are now available with stunning architectural elements that can enhance the look of the window.

Window framing headers and details can be used both externally and internally. If you're going to be installing an external window header, be sure to select a material that can handle the weather, such as our range that is made from urethane, which is extremely weather, bug and rot resistant.

Q3. Is a window header different from a crosshead?

Yes, they're different. Typically, a Window Header is a horizontal beam that's used for structural purposes, whereas a Window Crosshead is decorative and doesn't necessarily hold weight or support the building.

Most people tend to refer to both Window Headers, Window Header Framing, Window Header Details and Window Crossheads to the same thing and purchase the applicable product, but it's good to be aware of the above (that window headers and crossheads are actually different) as it may be important to the integrity of your building (or your budget!).

Q4. Can window headers be used on windows?

Typically, window headers aren't the right size to be used in doorways, we instead insist that you consider selecting something from our specific Door Header range.
