Perimeter Systems’ Cornice Frieze & Architrave Mouldings feature several configurations to create impressive and striking cornice features. These mouldings are used as the base to your cornice design. Since the moulding are large it is advisable to design a solid backing behind them. Plywood or proprietary nailable sheathing is commonly used.

Frieze mouldings are commonly adorned with flutes, dentils and engravings. Dentils require the frieze moulding to be designed with an inset. Details for these adornments begin on page 56.
