A connector piece to cover the gap between two skirting profiles disposed at an angle to each other includes a body having a bend to correspond to the angle. The body has a front portion, a rear portion, and a cavity between the front portion and the rear portion. The cavity has end portions for receiving respective end sections of the skirting profiles. The front portion forms the exposed decorative contour of the connector piece. The rear portion includes an engagement device for a respective rear surface of the skirting profiles when the end sections of the skirting profiles are received into the cavity.

A system for crown molding that enables safely incorporating electrical and communications cabling within crown molding by creating one or more protected paths which inherently prevent overly sharp bends in crown molding corners and by mitigating damage from penetrating punctures through a decorated face designed to fracture when improperly penetrated by a screw or nail, and enables the secure installation of hardware either concealed within the molding or securely and favorably positioned through the decorative face to view or sense a room, and enables additional cable capacity that is concealed within a light reflector to increase lighting efficacy as well as power and data delivery capacity.

A fixture for laying a joint-covering/threshold-covering profiled element and a kit having such fixture includes an insert to be arranged under the profiled element and which is substantially L-shaped in cross-section. The fixture further includes, with a first portion arranged parallel to the flooring surface and a second portion arranged substantially vertically at the side of the flooring surface.

This disclosure includes a securement device for securing molding to a surface. The securement device has a base attached to a surface. A stem extends from the base and has a top portion opposite from the base. A pair of flexible curved structures extends laterally from opposite sides of the stem toward the base.

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.

A device for laying floor and wall covering for outside corners includes two portions, namely a rigid central first portion that is substantially in the shape of a hollow tetrahedron or of a quarter of a truncated cone, and a flexible peripheral second portion that is substantially triangular in shape and that extends from the periphery of the central portion. The peripheral portion comes to bear against the floor portion and against the wall portions that are disposed facing the device.

The present invention relates to a polymeric cove base support for installation where flooring meets a wall, comprising extruded straight portions and molded exterior corner and end portions. The cove base support comprises an upper wall portion, a lower toe portion and an intermediate curved or concave cove. The wall portion is substantially perpendicular to the toe portion. The curved cove comprises an outer cove surface for facing the wall-floor interface and a spaced apart inner curved cove surface facing the room when installed. The spacing between the two curved coves for the straight portion creates an open area, where the open area includes a supporting or reinforcing bar juxtaposed between the curves, preferably positioned perpendicular between the two curve coves in the center region of the open area, and extending the length of the cove base. The corner and end portions have outside surfaces facing the wall and a floor, the outside surfaces defined in part by spaced ribs extending perpendicular to each of the toe and wall portions.

The present invention provides molding components, including plinths and corner pieces. Also, kits comprising combinations of molding components selected from among plinths, molding pieces, corner pieces and header pieces. Also, systems comprising combinations of molding components selected from among plinths, molding pieces, corner pieces and header pieces. Also, methods of making plinths, corner pieces, kits, systems and other combinations of components, and methods of assembling systems comprising combinations of components.

A method for installing a finish trim molding on a wall, the method includes mounting a trim holding device on the wall, the trim holding device comprising a mounting bracket configured to mount in facing contact with the wall, the mounting bracket further comprising a pair of mounting flanges disposed on the mounting bracket, the pair of mounting flanges being substantially horizontal and extending perpendicularly outward away from the mounting bracket and the wall; and mounting the finish trim molding onto the trim holding device, the finish trim molding defining a pair of channels, the pair of channels being substantially horizontal and defined perpendicular to a vertical rear surface of the finish trim molding, the pair of channels configured to receive the pair of mounting flanges.
