A system for mounting wall panels to an existing wall, includes fastening extrusions, each including an extrusion base section adapted to be secured to the existing wall, at least one retaining wall extending at an angle from the base section, and a holding member on each retaining wall; and intermediary supports for supporting the wall panels at a position between side edges of the wall panels, each intermediary support including an intermediary support base plate adapted to be secured to the existing wall, and a sliding member adapted to be slidably connected with the base plate, such that one wall panel is adapted to be secured on the sliding member for sliding movement relative to the intermediary support base plate with the sliding member in order to slide a side edge of the wall panel into one fastening extrusion between the extrusion base section and the holding member.

A modular wall panel system includes a pair of specially formed receiver strips, base and crown moldings, and a panel. The receiver strips are respectively mounted at selective upper and lower wall locations. Each receiver strip has an elongated base for mounting to the wall, and first and second flanges protruding therefrom, with each flange having a pair of apices particularly formed and located thereon. The crown and base moldings have bottom and rear surfaces, an inward facing ornate/sculpted surface, and a mating flange configured to cantilever away from the rear surface. The mating flange includes a pair of apices that are configured to be mated between the first and second flanges of the receiver strip, and be retained by its flange apices. The receiver strip also spaces the rear surface of the moldings away from the wall/studs, for the panel to be inserted behind the rear surface of each.

A crown molding hanger is provided. The crown molding hanger can be used to install a piece of crown molding requiring only the time and effort of a single craftsman. The crown molding hanger has a mounting member and a support member. The support member is removably coupled to the mounting member. In use, the mounting member is coupled to a surface via a coupler and then the support member is removably coupled to the mounting member. The support member has a support surface that engages and holds a length of crown molding while the coupler secures the mounting member, support member, and length of crown molding. The crown molding hanger can be reused many times while leaving no visible blemish to the wall during the typical installation process of a piece of crown molding using the crown molding hanger.

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.

An illuminated corbel includes first and second wood members connected together at proximal ends thereof and extending transverse to one another to form a generally L-shaped structure. The illuminated corbel further includes a connecting wood member extending between distal portions of the first and second wood members to define a cavity between the first and second wood members and the connecting member. At least one wood sheet member substantially covers one side of the cavity. Further, one or more electric lamps are mounted within the cavity for illuminating the interior of the cavity. The first and second wood members, the connecting wood member, and the sheet member are arranged and configured to permit at least some light from the electric lamp to emanate from within the corbel and be externally visible.

An assembly for coping and mounting trim molding is provided. A trim holding device for mounting a finish trim molding and a coping device are provided. The coping device includes a platform, having a back, into which to place a finish trim molding for coping and cutting, and a blade assembly having a cutter blade and configured to be manually actuated by a lever. The blade assembly is adjustable and is configured to rotate. The cutter blade is configured specifically to a size and a shape of the finish trim molding to be cut and coped. The mounting device includes a bracket, having a pair of mounting flanges, configured for placement along a wall. The bracket and flanges form generally an F shape trim holding device. The flanges are configured to securely hold a finish trim molding without the use of nails, glues, and adhesives.

A concealed slide-on molding/trim attachment method reduces the work effort and materials involved to refinish walls, ceilings, or anywhere molding/trim, henceforth called trim, is attached using the conventional nailing method. When removing the existing trim, this invention eliminates the damage to the trim, walls, and ceilings, along with the issues previously associated with the current fastening process. With this invention, refinishing or renovation of the trim, walls, ceilings or any other associated building components can be completed without damage to surrounding surfaces or the existing trim, making the trim reusable. This is a simple way to attach and detach the trim when compared to the current nailing method or use of other fasteners. During initial construction, this invention also reduces time and man-hours for installation.

A device is described for fastening a ceiling profile (8) for the transition between a wall (9) and a ceiling (10) having a holder (1), which has a wall leg (2) and two holding webs (6), which engage in longitudinal grooves (7) of the ceiling profile (8). To provide simple structural conditions, it is proposed that the holder (1) forms a plastic profile having a carrying leg (3) which protrudes downward from the wall leg (2) at an acute angle, and having a support leg (4) which connects the wall leg (2) on top to the carrying leg (3), the holding legs (6) extending transversely to the wall leg (2) protrude from the carrying leg (3), and the carrying leg (3) is extended beyond the support leg (4) to form a springy catch hook (14), which interacts with a catch stop (16) of the ceiling profile (8).
