The invention relates to a method for producing a flash coving profile, including the steps of: providing an elongate metal sheet with a first longitudinal edge and a second edge opposing, and preferably parallel to, the first edge; adhering a flexible and preferably resilient flooring to a first face of the metal sheet, the flooring extending from the first edge to at least the second edge; and bending a cove into the metal sheet with the flooring adhered to it along a bend line which is parallel to and spaced apart from the first edge and on the side to which the flooring is adhered. The invention further relates to a method for arranging a flash coving profile obtained by the method according to the invention in the corner between a floor and a wall.

A trim piece for sealing a work surface including a body having a first side, a second side, and a span disposed between the first side and the second side, wherein the first side and the second side are joined at a junction defining an angle between the first side and the second side of between 80 degrees and 100 degrees, a topcap is affixed to the span of the body, wherein the topcap includes a left side having a first wing and a right side having a second wing, an adhesive is bonded to the first side of the body and an aperture is disposed within the body.

A floor cover guard for protection of a corner formed by a pair of adjoining walls and a floor against debris accumulation. The floor corner guard has an elongated wall portion having sufficient vertical dimensions to extend above conventional baseboard, molding, and similar architectural details. A sloping base extends from the wall portion, downwardly and forwardly at an angle of between 25 and 75 degrees in relation to a vertical axis of the wall member. The wall portion has an upper edge and the base has a tapered forward edge to facilitate sealing engagement of the wall portion and the base with the walls and the floor, respectively. Some embodiments provide for a support brace extending outwardly from the wall portion opposite the base; the support brace is designed to fit under the baseboards, moldings and the like. During cleaning, the curved protector allows for easy removal of debris.

Factory-prefabricated wall skirting for floor coverings made of plastic, PVC, rubber, linoleum or similar materials, for manufacturing a moisture-proof wall closure, wherein the floor-side wall skirting is produced from a strip cutting of the floor covering and comprises a bending area, about which the strip cutting is bent, wherein in the convex bending area of the strip cutting the material is partially removed and replaced by a filling material.

A spacer apparatus and method to prevent dry rot damage to a fence is provided. The fence includes posts disposed in the ground, a horizontal support plank coupled to each pair of adjacent posts, pickets disposed on the horizontal support plank, and a pair of horizontal rails disposed on the horizontal support plank. The spacer apparatus includes a plate and a pair of end tabs coupled to the plate, each end tab coupled to a side edge of the plate and having a first width that is less than a second width of the plate along the side edge. The plate is disposed on the horizontal support plank to permit the end tabs to conform to the horizontal support plank for stability, thereby enabling the plate to support the pickets and horizontal rails above the horizontal support plank. The end tabs are then removed from the plate.

A method for determining an edge profile of a custom decorative article to be installed in an installation area is disclosed, the installation area having a perimeter having a plurality of corners. A computing device receives data indicative of a plurality of coordinates corresponding to the plurality of corners of the perimeter of the installation area. Based on at least first, second, and third coordinates respectively corresponding to first, second, and third corners of the plurality of corners of the perimeter of the installation area, the computing device determines dimensional and/or geometric characteristics of a pair of opposed portions of the edge profile that, in an installed position, are configured to meet to form a corner of the custom decorative article when installed at the second corner of the perimeter of the installation area.

A flexible inside corner trim piece is formed with concave depressions at hinge portions where wings attach to the body. The trim piece can be formed such that wings and a top cap lay flat in plane perpendicular to body or wings and top cap curve at an angle. Hinge portions can be narrow or wide and symmetrical or asymmetrical. The trim piece can be dyed, paintable, or present another decorative surface. The trim piece can include embedded lighting.
