Abstract
Abstract A base trim piece for the corner of intersecting walls has two upright wings angularly joined at a first edge of each, a recessed flange joined to the opposite edge of each wing, and a planar hook projecting upwardly from each such flange to lie in a plane between the vertical planes of the corresponding wings and flanges. The hook acts as a fastener for an abutting planar base trim piece.
