Wood trim is attached to the wail around a door, window, etc, by means of an extruded plastic attachment strip. The strip is formed with a hollow box-shaped protrusion which serves as a spline, which engages a complementary groove in the profile of the wood trim. A bar formed in the back of the strip profile serves to hold the strips in complementary slots in the door jamb.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An assembly comprising wood trim and a wood trim apparatus, which includes a trim-mounting spline-strip for attaching the wood trim to a wall, around doors and windows, baseboards, corner mouldings, or the like, wherein:the spline-strip is of plastic, and is elongate, and comprises a unitary structure having the same cross-sectional profile at all points along its length;the cross-sectional profile of the plastic spline-strip includes a base or web, which is adapted for direct application to a flat surface of a wall;the cross-sectional profile of the plastic spline-strip includes a spline which, when the spline-strip is applied to a wall, protrudes from the wall;characterised in that the spline includes left and right side-wall components a roof component and a floor component, of the spline;in that the components of the spline are arranged to form a hollow so box-shaped enclosure;and in that the side-wall components protrude outwards away from the base or web, and the floor component of the spline comprises a portion of the base or web which extends between the side walls;the wood trim is a unitary structure having the same cross-sectional profile alone its length;the cross-sectional profile of the trim includes a groove, and the groove is sized to be a light fit on the spline.
