An installation support member is arranged within the molding member to support the outer surface of the molding member. An internal corner member is positioned adjacent each end of the mantle molding member and each directs water running onto the mantle molding member away from the doorway. Another trim assembly, including a base having a decorative portion and a ring are used to conceal a base flange.
