Patent attributes
An elongate profile for terminating a veneer component includes a fastening leg configured to be installed against a base surface. An edge leg extends from the fastening leg and is configured to provide a covering edge for a veneer component installed against the fastening leg. The fastening leg includes at least one fastener opening formed therethrough, the fastener opening configured to receive a fastener therethrough such that the fastener can couple the fastening leg to the base surface as it extends through the fastener opening and engages the base surface. A deformation region is formed in the fastening leg adjacent the fastener opening and is operable to deform as the fastener is driven into the base surface through the fastener opening such that at least a portion of material of the deformation zone extends into the base surface as the fastener is driven into the base surface.
