Designer Series Cornice, Design 6, Revised 2006

This beautifully sculptured cornice contains 3 cavetto shape mouldings, a frieze, optional vented or non-vented soffit and features our Designer Series commercial gutter. Optional components such as dentils, flutes, and engravings may be added, see page 56.

Details shown on this and the opposing page utilize our 6” Colonial Gutter System with matching rake trims. As with many of our cornice designs, this cornice easily adapts our 8” concealed gutter / internal drainage system allowing you to eliminate exposed downspouts -- the gutter’s Colonial Fascia blends well into the overall cornice.

Gabled ends can be finished with the cornice completely wrapping the structure as shown in the elevation of the contemporary design (opposing page) or it may be broken as shown in the partial elevation inserts. In addition, the rake cornices may be also broken in a similar manner as shown in the classic design elevation.

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

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.
