Claim:
A low profile mounting assembly comprising: a metal structural member for mounting to a concrete structure and including an outer face and at least one countersunk bore formed therethrough; a screw including a head with a flat top, and said screw being structured and disposed for passage through the countersunk bore of the metal structural member and into the concrete structure for fastening the metal structural member to the concrete structure, and the countersunk bore and the screw head being congruently sized and configured for seated receipt of the screw head within the countersunk bore so that the flat top of the screw head is flush with the outer face of the metal structural member; a screw cover having a concave inner surface and an oppositely disposed convex outer surface and a peripheral edge surrounding the concave inner surface and being structured and disposed for mating engagement with the outer face surrounding the countersunk bore of the metal structural member, and the screw cover further having a cavity defined by an entire space between a plane of the peripheral edge and the concave inner surface; a charge of water resistant adhesive completely filling the cavity of the screw cover, and the charge of adhesive serving to adhere the screw cover to the flat top of the screw and the outer face of the structural member surrounding the countersunk bore to conceal the screw head from view and seal the screw and countersunk bore from exposure to moisture; and the convex outer surface of the screw cover having a color that matches a color of the outer face of the metal structural member to thereby reduce visibility of the screw cover.
