ABSTRACT:
An assembly for protecting a decorative surface includes a support structure and a trim piece positioned over the support structure including an outer decorative surface. A protective sheet is removably adhered to the outer decorative surface. Screws extend through corresponding openings in the trim piece and protective sheet for securing the decorative sheet to the support structure. The protective sheet has a closed loop, weakened parting line surrounding and spaced outwardly from each of the screw receiving openings. The head of each screw includes an inner portion engaging the protective sheet and having a diameter substantially the same as the material enclosed in the parting line and a larger diameter outer portion extending radially beyond the inner portion and spaced from the protective sheet. When the protective sheet is peeled from the decorative surface of the trim piece the decorative sheet separates along the parting line without leaving protective sheet residue extending out from under the head of the screws.
