Abstract

A building product includes a base member for mounting to a structure and a cover member adapted to be snap-fit to the base member.

1 . A building product comprising: 
 a base member for mounting to a structure; and    a cover member adapted to be snap-fit to the base member.    
   
   
       2 . The building product of  claim 1 , wherein the base member and the cover member include pultruded, constant cross-section profiles.  
   
   
       3 . The building product of  claim 1 , wherein the base member and the cover member include composite parts.  
   
   
       4 . The building product of  claim 1 , wherein the base member includes a first mounting section and a second mounting section and the cover member includes a corresponding first mounting section that engages the first mounting section of the base member and a corresponding second mounting section that engages the second mounting section of the base member.  
   
   
       5 . The building product of  claim 1 , wherein the base member includes a back wall, and a top wall extending from the back wall, the top wall including a lip, the base member further including a mounting section extending from an intermediate portion of the back wall, the mounting section including an upper ridge, and the cover member includes a first mounting section that engages the lip of the base member and a second mounting section that engages the upper ridge of the base member.  
   
   
       6 . The building product of  claim 1 , wherein the cover member includes aesthetic features configured to provide trim around a door or window of the structure.  
   
   
       7 . A building product comprising: 
 a base member to be fastened to a structure, the base member including a back wall, and a top wall extending from the back wall, the top wall including a lip, the base member further including a mounting section extending from an intermediate portion of the back wall, the mounting section including an upper ridge; and    a cover member for mounting over the base member, the cover member including a profile having aesthetic features, the cover member including a first mounting section that engages the lip of the base member and a second mounting section that engages the mounting section of the base member.    
   
   
       8 . The building product of  claim 7 , wherein the base member and the cover member include composite, constant cross-section, pultruded profiles.  
   
   
       9 . The building product of  claim 7 , wherein the top wall is cantilevered from the back wall.  
   
   
       10 . The building product of  claim 7 , wherein the cover member engages the base member in a snap-fit.  
   
   
       11 . A method comprising; 
 fastening a base member around a door or a window of a structure;    snap-fitting a cover member onto the base member to form a trim structure around the door or window.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the base member and cover member include composite, pultruded parts.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein snap-fitting includes placing a mounting section of the cover member against a lip of the base member and swinging the cover member towards the base member until a cavity of the cover member engages a ridge of the base member.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the cover member includes aesthetic features.
