Abstract
Abstract An elongated composite molding strip is disclosed having two laterally offset portions of different character which provide a two-stripe appearance. In this molding strip, a first adherent elastomer tape carries a decorative film positioned to cover one side of the tape with a first side margin of the film projecting beyond one side margin of the first tape, and being folded thereunder. A decorative molding is positioned on the uncovered side of the first tape, one side margin of the molding being coextensive with the other side margin of the first tape, and the other side margin of the molding extending over the adjacent side margin of the film. A second adherent elastomer tape underlies the first elastomer tape and is coextensive therewith so that the second elastomer tape traps the folded under side margin of the film and provides an exposed adherent surface.
