A window frame construction particularly useful in a manufactured housing unit to provide a structure for receiving and supporting at least one window and to provide coverage of ends of siding applied to the exterior of the housing unit. The window frame includes a window body member to generally circumscribe an opening in the housing unit, with a J-rail return member integrally formed therewith to provide a flange member for attachment of the window frame to the housing unit and to cover and secure ends of the siding in a slot formed between the flange member and the return member of the J-rail return. The return member has sufficient width to cover the siding ends even when the siding contracts during lowered temperatures. The window frame, in the preferred form, is constructed from extruded vinyl, and it is used principally for vinyl siding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A window frame for being fixedly mounted in an opening provided in a wall of a structure, the structure having a frame defining an inner wall and an outer wall, said window frame comprising: a window frame body member for being received in and circumscribing the opening in the wall and adapted to extend from proximate the outer wall toward the inner wall when received in the opening, said window frame body member for receiving and supporting at least one window, said window frame member having oppositely-disposed jam portions, a header portion overlapping and attached to first ends of each of said jam portions, and a sill portion overlapping and attached to second ends of each of said jam portions; and a J-rail return member integrally-formed with each of said portions of said window frame body member so as to extend outwardly from said portions of said window frame body when member said window frame body member is received in the opening, said J-rail return member having a) a flange portion extending radially around the opening for attachment of said window frame to the structure, b) a projecting portion extending away from said flange portion in a direction perpendicular to said flange portion, and c) a return portion having one edge connected to said projecting portion, and a distal edge, said return portion being substantially parallel with said flange portion to define a substantially rectangularly-shaped slot between said return portion and said flange portion, said slot having an opening at said distal edge of said return portion for accepting siding to be attached to the outer wall of the structure, said return portion having a width to cover edges of the siding during any contraction of the siding, said distal edge of said return portion being provided with a raised bead on a side toward said flange portion for reducing chaffing of the siding during any movement of the siding within said slot; whereby said window frame can be installed as a unit within the opening of the structure with minimal labor to receive the at least one window and the siding in a secure manner
