CORNICE DESIGN No. 8 Rev. A

Designer Series Cornice, Design 8

Nominal Size: Classic: 18+” Entablature x 12” Depth
  Contemporary 10” Entablature x 12” Depth

Cornice Design 8 is a very popular profile using dual crown mouldings. These crown mouldings feature a small radius for their convex and concave profile. These small radius mouldings simulate wood trim more so than stone work. This cornice design also lends itself well to parapets and roofs where gutters are not required. With some creative use of additional mouldings dentils, flutes, and engravings may be added. See page 56.

Details shown on this page show this cornice design applied to a gazebo’s steep sloped roof. Page 27 shows this cornice applied to a parapet.

While framing shown is a suggestion it is strongly recommended not to deviate much as this cornice requires more precise attachment and fastening points than our other cornice.
