  • Decorative baseboard molding
    Patent number: 6189276
    Abstract: The invention includes an overlay molding strip. The molding strip has an outer decorative surface and an inner surface. The inner surface includes a flat, upper wall-abutting portion attachable to a section of a wall above an existing baseboard molding. The inner surface further includes a recessed, lower portion for overlaying at least a portion of the existing baseboard molding. During use, the upper wall-abutting portion of the overlay molding strip is attached to a section of a wall above an existing baseboard molding to overlay at least a portion of the existing baseboard molding, obviating any need to remove the existing baseboard molding. This application, without removing the existing baseboard molding, spares much time, expense and aggravation.
