  • Method of finishing the exterior wall of a prefabricated building and trim therefor
    Patent number: 4319439
    Abstract: Disclosed is a corner post (90, 100) and zipper trim (40, 50) for aluminum siding (28) which may be applied after the siding (28), thus permitting preassembly of the siding (28) to factory built wall components (14, 16, 18) while avoiding on site customizing of the zipper and corner post. The zipper trim and the corner post trim are each made of two members, a supporting member (40, 90 respectively) and a finish zipper or corner trim member (50, 100 respectively). The support members (40, 90) are secured to the wall components (14, 16, 18) after the wall components (14, 16, 18) have been assembled at the site. The zipper trim (50) and corner post trim (100) members are then snapped into place in engagement with their respective underlying support members (40, 90).
