ABSTRACT:
A corner piece used in cooperation with retainer strips and exterior siding provides improved protection to a wall of a structure, particularly around rectangular openings in the wall. The corner piece includes a first section extending in a first direction along a first side of the opening and a second section integral with the first section. The second section extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first section along a second side of the opening adjacent the first side. The first and second sections form a continuous channel that extends into the retainer strips. A first retainer strip may be received within the first section and the second section of the corner piece may be received within a second retainer strip. As a result, the channel formed by the first retainer strip overlaps a portion of the first section and the channel formed by the second section of the corner piece overlaps a portion of the second retainer strip. Thus, water flowing in the channel formed by the retainer strips and corner piece may flow from a retainer strip, over the corner piece and past another retainer strip with minimal opportunity for the water to flow behind either the corner piece or either of the retainer strips. In addition, the continuous channel formed by the corner piece and retainer strips directs water away from the wall by an angled bottom surface of the channel.
