An interior and exterior casing trim for doors and window frames in the form of a linear unitary structure joining nearabutting and adjacent ends of structural components and surfacing components of a building nature lying in a mutual perpendicular plane, said device having a cross section comprising A substantially horizontal base having an inner surface, A substantially vertical extension integral one end of said horizontal base adjacent said inner surface, and An L-shaped extension having an extremital end integral said inner surface in spaced relation to said vertical extension forming dual slots, one of which with said horizontal base and the other of which with both said vertical extention and said horizontal base, said slots receptively engaging said structural component and said surfacing component at right angles to each other, A second vertical extension integral the free end of said horizontal base adjacent said inner surface thereof in spaced relation to said L-shaped extension for snubbing engagement of said surfacing component, A outwardly projecting horizontal extension for use in sealing abutment with a storm window, said latter horizontal extension secured in spaced relation to the ends of said first vertical extension, and A T-shaped support integral said inner surface of said base between said L-shaped extension and said vertical extension for support of both said horizontal base and said structural component.
