ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves a molding for window and door frames. The molding includes molding extrusions disposed around the perimeter of the door or window frame. Each molding extrusion includes a base plate, cover, and hinge portion. The base portion is capable of mounting the molding extrusion on a frame member. The cover portion extends over and contacts the base portion. The hinge portion connects the base portion and the cover portion, and is flexible to allow the cover portion to pivot relative to the base portion. Each molding extrusion includes a mitered end, and the molding may include a brace having two legs, each leg engaging a mitered end. A lip formed on the base portion retains the brace. Both the brace and the base portion may have a mounting hole capable of receiving a fastener. The brace may also have upstanding side walls disposed adjacent to side walls of the base portions, which may additionally include lips retaining the brace on the base portion side walls. The base plate includes reinforcing ribs. The plastic material of the hinge portion has a higher durometer than the plastic material of said base portion and said cover portion, or may alternatively have a lesser thickness than the base and covers. The base plate includes an anchor channel, the cover portion includes an anchor lip, with the anchor channel being structured and arranged to receive and engage the anchor lip. The cover portion further includes a decorative surface.
