CORNICE DESIGN No. 11

Designer Series Cornice, Design 11

Nominal Size: Classic: 36” Entablature x 20 ” Depth
  Contemporary 18” Entablature x 20 ” Depth

Cornice Design 11 boasts a large entablature with a small depth -- features our Designer Series Roman Gutter System stepped with an additional Roman Moulding. Profiles are separated with 2 Frieze trims along with a continuous vented soffit. 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” Roman 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 Roman 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 (opposite 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.

  1. Perimeter System’s Designer Series DSR “Roman”. Either the 6” or 8” profile may be used with this cornice design. If your project is subject to snow and ice conditions, and your distance to the roof ridge is greater than 15’ then you should lower the gutter below the roof’s ice plane. You should also consider using snow guards. Simple adjustments to your framing will allow lowering the gutter system. See page 68 for more details regarding our Roman system.
