Corner molding for wall covering assembly

Abstract

A corner molding for a solid wall covering includes a base section and a cap section. The cap section is attached to the base section, and together with the base section, defines a first channel and a second channel, the channels configured to accept the solid wall covering. The cap section is configured to project over an edge of the solid wall covering.

1 . A corner molding for a solid wall covering comprising: 
 a base section; and    a cap section attached to the base section and together with the base section defining a first channel and a second channel, the channels configured to accept the solid wall covering, wherein the cap section is configured to project over an edge of the solid wall covering.    
   
   
       2 . The corner molding for a wall covering of  claim 1 , wherein the base section and the cap section are wood.  
   
   
       3 . The corner molding for a wall covering of  claim 2 , wherein the base section and the cap section are solid.  
   
   
       4 . The corner molding of  claim 1 , wherein the base section is configured to be positioned at an interior junction of two intersecting walls.  
   
   
       5 . The corner molding of  claim 1 , wherein the base section is configured to be positioned at an exterior junction of two intersecting walls.  
   
   
       6 . The corner molding of  claim 1 , wherein the cap section is configured to project over an uneven edge of the solid wall covering.  
   
   
       7 . The corner molding of  claim 1 , wherein the solid wall covering is a tongue and groove wall covering.  
   
   
       8 . A wall covering assembly comprising: 
 at least one interior corner molding having an interior cap section and defining at least one interior corner channel;    at least one exterior corner molding having an exterior cap section and defining at least one exterior corner channel;    at least one section of a solid wall covering configured to extend between the at least one interior corner channel and the at least one exterior corner channel;    wherein the interior and exterior corner channels are configured to accept the solid wall covering; and    wherein the interior cap section and the exterior cap section are configured to project over respective edges of the solid wall covering.    
   
   
       9 . The wall covering assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the solid wall covering is selected from the group consisting of knotty pine board, hardwood board, particle board, laminated board, and composite board.  
   
   
       10 . A method of attaching a solid wall covering to a wall comprising: 
 affixing a first portion of the solid wall covering to the wall;    affixing, to the wall, a sequence of adjacent solid wall covering portions extending from the first portion including: 
 affixing a last portion of the solid wall covering to the wall, the last portion completing the sequence of adjacent solid wall covering portions extending from the first portion; and  
   affixing a corner molding over an edge of the last portion of the solid wall covering, wherein the corner molding includes a cap section attached to a base section and defines at least one channel configured to accept the solid wall covering, the cap section configured to project over the edge of the last portion of the solid wall covering.    
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising: 
 affixing an interior corner molding having an interior cap section and defining at least one interior corner channel to an interior corner of the wall.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein affixing a first portion of the solid wall covering to the wall includes coupling a first edge of the solid wall covering to the interior corner channel.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein affixing a corner molding includes affixing an exterior corner molding over an edge of the last portion of the solid wall covering.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein affixing a corner molding includes affixing a solid wood corner molding.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein affixing a corner molding includes affixing a corner molding over an uneven edge of the last portion of the solid wall covering.  
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein affixing a corner molding includes gluing a base section of the corner molding to the wall.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein affixing a corner molding includes nailing a cap section of the corner molding to the solid wall covering and to the wall.
