@ freekfluweel Is dit van een bestek? Ja.

Many thanks! I am not quite sure if the "dagkant" and "raamdorpel" will form one unit. They have the same RAL colour. But anyhow, I am planning to leave out "trim". I will talk to the client tomorrow morning.
freekfluweel Mar 20, 2012:
leave out "trim" "dagkant" is the traditional name for the sides. However even in the early days the entire (wooden) frame/window sill was made as one unit. Nowadays these aluminum frames are made as one unit as well, even more so! Referring to these parts discriminately is merely to give the painter the right information (RAL-color indications), so the "raamdorpels" should be blue and the ''dagkanten" lila (e.g.). Is dit van een bestek?
Dave Greatrix Mar 20, 2012:
Going by the photo, a "trim" would hardly apply. I would go with "alumium reveals" myself, as these "reveals" are very deep.
Nadia Borissova (asker) Mar 20, 2012:
Thanks, Dave.
This is a good photo: http://www.roval.be/NL/Referenties&project=W0059#fotolink
Dave Greatrix Mar 20, 2012:
"Reveal trim" is unambiguous. A trim can be used in all sorts of circumstances, the most common being a "roof trim".
Nadia Borissova (asker) Mar 20, 2012:

"dagkant afwerking" sounds like an aluminium channel of some sort that is intended to "mask" the end - "reveal" of a concrete or brickwork wall. So it would be a "reveal trim".

aluminium trim

David's answer is correct but a bit overly technical. My suggestion is somewhat simpler and more understandable IMO.

By the way, in my understabnding "reveal" and "trim" are equivalent in this context, so using both words is a repetition.

Bedankt!
Peer comment(s):
neutral Dave Greatrix : a "dagkant" is a "reveal" not necessarily a "trim" - see ref. from Roy. A "reveal" is often known as a "return" - the exposed brickwork or wall left and right of a window or door frame
