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 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 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.

The present disclosure describes novel systems and methods for converting a faceted room with into a cyclorama. Four system embodiments, EMB1, EMB2, EMB3, and EMB4, are disclosed and have several common elements, including a corner coving piece (CCP) and a bridging coving piece (BCP). EMB1 and EMB2 further comprise elements that collectively facilitate the alignment of adjoining pieces to form a seamless topology. EMB3 is a more basic embodiment that trades some alignment provisions for improved manufacturing simplicity and lower cost. EMB4 is distinguished by an embodiment where the main system elements can be fabricated from readily available materials by a non-expert using basic household tools; a method is disclosed herein to describe the construction steps as part of the overall process of converting a faceted room into a cyclorama. The two final disclosed methods guide the use of EMB1 or EMB2 for coving.

A construction component comprising a foamed cellular board comprising smooth exterior surfaces separated by a cellular network and cut edges, and sealed caps adhered to the cut edges on the foamed cellular boar. The board has a density of less than 0.55 g/cm.sup.3, and the cut edges on which the sealed caps are adhered are unmelted edges.

A method for making ornamental trim for use in construction comprising applying a sealing composition having PVC particles in a flowable medium to a cut edge of a foam board, heating the sealing composition to a temperature at which the flowable medium solvates the PVC particles, and cooling the sealing composition to form a continuous sealing cap on the cut edge. A construction component consisting essentially of a foamed cellular board comprising smooth exterior surfaces separated by a cellular network and cut edges, and sealed caps adhered to the cut edges on the foamed cellular board comprising PVC in a polymer matrix. The board has a density of no more than 0.5 g/cm.sup.3, and the cut edges on which the sealed caps are adhered are unmelted edges.

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.
