The lower edge of the filler member has a predetermined radius of curvature matching the radius of curvature of the upper edge of the casing head. The filler member may be of reduced height in its central region and has a maximum height at its side edges to provide increased area in these regions to cover any exposed unfinished corners of the underlying drywall.
