Recessed trim installation system

1 . A reglet for forming an inset baseboard system at a corner, the reglet comprising:

a first side comprising:

a first base extending in a first plane;

a first backbone integrally formed with and extending from the first base in a second plane that is substantially perpendicular to the first plane such that the first base extends from a first end of the first backbone in a first direction; and

a first mud flange integrally formed with and extending from the first backbone in a third plane that is substantially perpendicular to the second plane and substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the first plane, such that the first mud flange extends from a second end of the first backbone in a second direction that is opposite from the first direction,

wherein a back surface of the first mud flange and a first surface of the first backbone together define a first drywall cavity configured to receive a drywall panel, and

wherein a front surface of the first base and a second surface of the first backbone opposite of the first surface of the first backbone together define a first baseboard cavity configured to receive a baseboard section; and

a second side forming an angle of between 0 and 180 degrees with the first side of the reglet, wherein the first side and the second side of the reglet are integrally formed to meet at a corner.

2 . The reglet of claim 1 , wherein the second side comprises:

a slotted doorjamb flange extending from a top end to a bottom end of the reglet in a fourth plane that is substantially perpendicular to each of the first plane and the second plane such that the first base and the slotted doorjamb flange intersect at a substantially right angle.

3 . The reglet of claim 2 , wherein the corner is a rounded corner and a curved portion having a radius of curvature is formed between the first mud flange and the slotted doorjamb flange.

4 . The reglet of claim 2 , wherein the slotted doorjamb flange comprises a tensioning tab extending from a back surface of the slotted doorjamb flange with an angle configured to abut a surface of a doorjamb to hold the reglet in place.

5 . The reglet of claim 1 , wherein the second side comprises:

a second base extending in a fourth plane;

a second backbone integrally formed with and extending from the second base in the second plane; and

a second mud flange integrally formed with and extending from the second backbone in a fifth plane that is substantially perpendicular to the second plane and substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the fourth plane,

wherein a back surface of the second mud flange and a first surface of the second backbone together define a second drywall cavity configured to receive a drywall panel, the second drywall cavity being in communication with the first drywall cavity, and

wherein a front surface of the second base and a second surface of the second backbone opposite of the first surface of the second backbone together define a second baseboard cavity configured to receive a baseboard section, the second baseboard cavity being in communication with the first baseboard cavity.

6 . The reglet of claim 5 , wherein the first plane is orthogonal to the fourth plane, and the third plane is orthogonal to the fourth plane.

7 . The reglet of claim 1 , wherein the corner is a rounded corner.

8 . The reglet of claim 1 , wherein the corner defines a corner edge between the first side and the second side of the reglet.

9 . The reglet of claim 1 , wherein the first base defines a plurality of nail slots that are spaced apart from a bottom edge of the first base.

10 . The reglet of claim 1 , wherein the first base defines a plurality of fold grooves on a back surface of the first base, the plurality of fold grooves being parallel to and spaced apart from a bottom edge of the first base.

11 . The reglet of claim 1 , wherein the first mud flange defines a plurality of perforations configured to facilitate adherence of a joint compound therethrough.

12 . The reglet of claim 1 , wherein the first backbone further comprises a screed lip extending out from the first mud flange in a direction away from the first and third planes.

13 . The reglet of claim 1 , further comprising at least one breakaway tab formed by a portion of the first mud flange on a lateral edge of the reglet, the at least one breakaway tab being removable from the reglet to accommodate a second reglet installed adjacent to the reglet.

14 . An inset baseboard system comprising:

the reglet of claim 1 ;

a drywall panel; and

a baseboard,

wherein a front surface of the baseboard is disposed in the third plane, and a top edge of the baseboard is spaced apart from a bottom surface of the first backbone to define a gap therebetween,

wherein a bottom edge of the drywall panel is disposed between a back surface of the first mud flange and a top surface of the first backbone.
