ABSTRACT:
A cladding and sealing kit for use with a sliding door construction in which a plurality of cladding and sealing members are sealingly engaged with the various wooden frame members forming the door opening and forming the frame of the doors to readily clad the various exposed surfaces and provide sealing between the various sliding interfaces. Each cladding and sealing member includes an elongated flat main body portion defining a longitudinal front face and a longitudinal rear face adapted to be placed against a longitudinal side surface of an elongated wooden frame member; a longitudinal fulcrum rib portion extending from the rear face of the main body portion and angled toward one of the main body portion for coaction with a complimentarily angled longitudinal slot formed in the longitudinal wooden member; a longitudinal cantilever flange portion extending generally perpendicularly away from the rear face of the main body portion adjacent the one end of the main body portion and defining a longitudinal inner face confronting the fulcrum rib portion; and a longitudinal lip portion formed adjacent the free end of the cantilever flange portion and extending from the inner face of the cantilever flange portion toward the fulcrum rib portion for coaction with a complimentary longitudinal slot formed in a longitudinal edge surface of the elongated wooden member. The cladding and sealing members are snappingy and removably secured to the longitudinal side surface of the respective wooden member by inserting the fulcrum rib portion into the angled slot in the longitudinal side face of the respective wooden member and pivoting the cladding member about the fulcrum rib portion to cam the leading edge of the cantilever flange portion over the corner of the wooden member and snap the lip portion into the slot in the edge surface of the wooden member.
