Nailess, glueless trim system

Abstract

A trim system consisting of a top layer of veneer, which is connected and recessed into a medium to high-density fiberboard or substitute (lower layer) therein. The baseboard has a unique tongue and groove system and results in an interlocking system that by its nature, secures the baseboard snugly to the wall without the need for after nailing or glues or adhesives. Because the ledger board system is recessed into the core of the exterior trim piece, the ledger board holds the exterior molding snugly without adding any additional offset or distance from the wall. The result is a form fitting molding that mounts tightly, flexibly and securely to most surfaces easily. Since the substrate is made of a process waste or by-product fiberboard or substitute, it is environmentally friendly and more structurally stable than most hardwoods. Structurally stable meaning that it doesn't shrink, twist, contract, or warp like most woods do. The system chosen is not only eco-friendly but the view layer can be glamorous to look at. The interlocking system can also be used to add additional utility and tight fit and appearance on solid woods or any other manufactured base system material, such as plastic, rubber, steel, etc. The removable block “smart wire” system, also affords for the concealment of wires and or cables simply and easily. The molding profiles and potential wood etc, combinations that can be produced are endless. The system should work well regardless of what decorative profile design is chosen.
