Abstract: A masonry siding for use on a wall is provided comprising one or more layers for creating masonry siding; and one or more strategically positioned inserts embedded within the one or more layers allowing to secure the masonry siding on a wall. The inserts are positioned in a mold in order to allow for the securing of the masonry siding to a wall or building structure, by screwing a bolt or other similar device through the insert, which runs along the width of the masonry siding. The bolt or screw is then completely hidden from view as it penetrates the front face of the insert completely. A method is also provided for manufacturing a masonry siding with inserts to secure the masonry siding to a wall by providing steps to create the masonry siding from a mold with the inserts within the mold.

Abstract: The trim system is comprised of a J-trim component to be secured onto a surface such as a wall of a home, and a ledge component to be secured within said J-trim component. The ledge component is comprised of a slot along a longitudinal axis of the ledge member in order to mate with a hook portion of the J-trim component, and is also comprised of keyholes on the lower surface of said ledge member in order to secure it to the wall as well. The ledge member has two leader grooves located on opposite extremities of the slot in order to reduce the wear and tear of the ledge member's cast mold and therefore extend the life of the mold.
