CORNICE DESIGN No. 12

Designer Series Cornice, Design 12

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

Cornice Design 12 offers simple mouldings to create a large entablature with a small depth -- featuring our Designer Series Roman Gutter System stepped with an compound curved LZ trim and finished with a large frieze trim. Optional components such as dentils, flutes, and engravings may be added. See page 56.

Details shown on this and the opposing page utilize our 8” Roman Gutter system with Colonial rake trims. As with many of our cornice designs, this cornice easily adapts our concealed gutter / internal drainage system allowing you to eliminate exposed downspouts.

Gabled ends can be finished with the cornice completely wrapping the structure as shown in the elevations (opposing page) or it may be broken as shown with our previous cornice designs. We recommend a smaller rake cornice utilizing our Colonial moulding due to the cornice’s 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.
