ABSTRACT:
Trim molding for use around windows, doors, the base of walls and wall-ceiling interfaces is constructed so that it may be installed without the use of fasteners nailed through the outside face of the trim molding. Receptacles are formed in the back side of the trim molding in the shape of a T-slot for receivable and slidably engaging an enlarged connector head previously inserted into the mounting surface. The back surface of the T-slot receptacle is beveled thereby creating a wedge which engages the enlarged connector head securing the trim against the mounting surface. The trim molding is easily removable when it is desired to repaint, wallpaper, or install a different flooring material, thereby eliminating the need to work around the trim molding or having to mask or tape the trim when preparing to paint.
