Designer Series Cornice, Design 1

Cornice Design 1 boasts a large entablature with a small depth -- features our Designer Series Roman Gutter System stepped with an additional Roman Moulding. A frieze and architrave finish itsâ lower portion. Optional components include flutes and engravings, see page 56.

Details shown on this and the opposing page utilize our 8ä Roman Gutter system. As with many of our cornice designs, this cornice easily adapts our concealed gutter / internal drainage system allowing you to eliminate exposed downspouts -- the gutterâs Roman fascia blends well into the overall cornice.

Gabled ends can be finished with the cornice completely wrapping the structure or it may be broken as shown in the above project photo and the partial elevation insert (page 13). Note that this particular project utilized a combined convex and concave mouldings for itsâ rake edge. Framing shown is merely a suggestion and you may frame your building eaves in the manner necessary to suit your criteria -- but the location of the fastening points of the gutter and cornice trims must be held.
