Designer Series Cornice System/Cornice Design 2
 
 

Designer Series Cornice, Design 2, Revised 2006

Nominal Size: Classic: 34” Entablature x 156” Depth
  Contemporary 15” Entablature x 15” Depth

Cornice Design 2 boasts a large entablature with a small depth-- generally does not incorporate a gutter system but can accommodate a built in gutter. Mouldings for this cornice include a crown moulding, large frieze moulding, and J-Trim moulding. Optional components include flutes, dentils, and engravings, see page 56.

Gabled ends can be finished with the cornice completely wrapping the structure shown in the above project photo and the partial elevation insert (page 15) or it may be broken similar to the detail on page 13.

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. We recommend a smaller rake cornice for gables intersecting this cornice due to it exceptionally large depth.
