        "text": "Window casing is the decorative and functional molding installed around the interior perimeter of a window frame to conceal the rough gap between the jamb and the drywall. Beyond aesthetics, it seals air drafts and protects drywall edges from impact damage. A window without casing typically relies on drywall returns (drywall wrapped directly into the window frame), which offers a minimalist, modern appearance. However, drywall returns are more prone to chipping and require precise mud work. Adding wood or composite casing provides durable edge protection and allows you to match surrounding baseboards and door trim throughout the room.",
