ABSTRACT:
A significant drawback in prior art methods of fastening vinyl siding to the exterior of houses is the objectionable appearance of the junction between horizontal and vertical retaining strips around right angle openings (windows and doors) in the walls being covered. Typically, these channel shaped retaining strips are butted up against one another at the corners. Gaps and rough edges resulting from the cutting and fitting of these pieces are quite visually objectionable. Applicant's invention comprises a corner piece which is firmly attached to the wall at the juncture of the horizontal and vertical retainer strips and covers the juncture between the horizontal and vertical retainer strips. This corner piece comprises a generally L-shaped base plate and integrally formed first and second flange means extending outward and parallel thereto to provide a continuous L-shaped barrier that forms a channel which cooperates with and contains the ends of the vertical and horizontal retainer strips adjacent the corner of the opening.
