  • Patent number: 11859436
    Abstract: A composite trim molding assembly includes a composite outer shell having at least one pressed or molded surface feature and a core disposed within the composite outer shell for at least one of strengthening or stiffening the outer shell. The composite trim molding assembly can be configured as a door jamb. For example, the composite outer shell can include a flat jamb, and the at least one pressed or molded surface feature can include a stop. The core can include a protrusion into a cavity formed by the stop. The cavity formed by the stop may also be hollow. The composite outer shell can be molded from a slurry and/or pressed from a flat composite panel. The at least one pressed or molded surface feature can include a surface texture (e.g., a wood grain pattern). The core can include segments fastened together, particle board, and/or fiberboard.

  • Publication number: 20220235600
    Abstract: A blended wood interior trim molding assembly (e.g., a blended wood interior door stop assembly) can include a first layer of engineered wood material having a first, generally rectangular cross-sectional thickness, and a second layer of wood material having a second, generally rectangular cross-sectional thickness. The second layer of wood material is joined to the first layer of engineered wood material at a planar interface. Together, the first layer of engineered wood material and the second layer of wood material have a total thickness, with the second, generally rectangular cross-sectional thickness being greater than or equal to at least about fifteen percent (15%) of the total thickness of the first layer of engineered wood material and the second layer of wood material.

  • Publication number: 20220170312
    Abstract: A blended trim molding assembly can include a first layer of engineered wood material (e.g., medium-density fiberboard) having a first, generally rectangular cross-sectional thickness, and a second layer of wood material (e.g., lumber, particle board, fiberboard) having a second, generally rectangular cross-sectional thickness. The second layer of wood material is joined (e.g., glued) to the first layer of engineered wood material at a planar interface. Together, the first and second layers have a total thickness, with the first cross-sectional thickness being greater than or equal to at least about ten percent (10%) of the total thickness of the first and second layers. The blended trim molding assembly may also include a third layer of wood material having a third, generally rectangular cross-sectional thickness, where the third layer of wood material is joined to the first layer of engineered wood material at a second planar interface opposite the planar interface.
