Door, window, crown and baseboard molding system with hidden fasteners and pre-formed corner receptacles and couplers

摘要

A door, window, crown and baseboard molding system with hidden fasteners and pre-formed corner receptacles and couplers. The outer face of a molding piece includes at least one elongated kerf or groove along its length. The width of the groove is sufficient to accommodate the head of a nail or screw fastener. With the molding piece properly aligned against a wall, fasteners are successively located in spaced relation within the groove and driven into the wall. With the heads of the fasteners recessed within the groove, the groove is filled with a piece of material or injected caulking. Pre-formed corner receptacles may be employed where the molding encounters inside and outside corners. The couplers are used to join two lineal pieces of molding or as decorative accents along the molding. Receptacles and couplers include end recesses sized and configured to accommodate and cover the end of a piece of molding.
