Embodiment Construction

[0022] Reference is now made to FIG. 1, which illustrates a dwelling D comprising a stable mounting structure having at least one wall W in which an opening O is formed. In conventional construction, the wall W is usually formed of one or more sheets of plywood or oriented strand board nailed or otherwise fastened to the underlying framed construction (not shown). The opening O may be sized and shaped either for receiving a window (not shown) or door and the corresponding hardware, and may be surrounded by a plurality of jamb members J (a head jamb, side jambs, and in the case of a window, a sill jamb) that create seating surfaces for the corresponding sides of a door or window when installed. The jamb members are coupled directly to the framed construction. Alternatively, instead of jambs J or like members, the framing members alone may support a pre-assembled window or door unit U (see framing member T in FIGS. 5 and 6), which typically includes an integral nailing fin or flange N...

Abstract

A trim component or strip for a siding system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the component includes an elongated body having an outwardly bowed portion that simulates the appearance of a log or timber. The trim component also includes an integral receiver for receiving a portion of one or more siding strips, such as either a side edge of a single siding strip or an end of a plurality of siding strips, depending on the relative orientation of the component and the strip(s). A pair of trim components may also be provided for trimming adjacent sides of the wall opening, in which case at least one end of one of the components may be miter cut and overlap with the corresponding end of the adjacent trim component. Alternatively, the corresponding ends of at least one pair of adjacent trim components may be miter cut and fit in an abutting relationship to form a miter joint.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY OF THE INVENTION[0001] The present invention relates generally to the construction / wall covering art and, more particularly, to a window or door trim component for use in a siding system for covering a wall of a dwelling.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002] The art of constructing dwellings or like structures from natural logs or timbers is well known, and for many homeowners is desirable for the natural, rustic look and feel afforded as a result of this type of construction. Despite significant technological advances in recent years and the proliferation of commercial enterprises offering such services, constructing an entire dwelling from logs or timbers remains an expensive, time consuming and labor intensive proposition, requiring countless man hours and a great deal of natural resources to complete. In recent decades, a concern has also arisen over the excessive exploitation of natural resources, such as timber. This concern has prompte...
