  • Publication number: 20210386231
    Abstract: A flooring installation features flooring laid atop a subfloor in a position leaving a gap between at least one perimeter edge of said flooring and a respectively adjacent wall structure; and an edge moulding having a base stem and a cap, said base stem reaching downwardly into the gap between the flooring and the adjacent wall structure, said cap having an inner lip jutting inwardly over the flooring from said base stem. Double sided tape is disposed between, and adhered to both, the base stem and the wall structure to adhesively secure said edge moulding to the wall structure.

  • Patent number: 10849467
    Abstract: A moulding usable in a corner joint between two structures features a base stem for adherence to the first structure using double-sided tape, and a cap attached to a proximal end of the base stem for placement against an outer surface of the second structure. The base stem features a break line at which a distal portion of the base stem can be cut, snapped or torn from a proximal portion of the base stem. If a sufficiently sized gap is present between the first and second structures, the base stem is left fully intact and inserted into the gap. In the absence of a sufficient gap, the distal portion of the base stem is detached at the break line, reducing to the base stem to a size that fits between the cap and the outer surface of the second structure.
