Dentil Molding
Written by: admin
Dentil molding is used to give a home’s exterior a unique and distinctive style. It adds depth to a home’s facade by emphasizing roof lines or adding architectural detail to soffits or siding.
The historic Nantucket MA home shown here illustrates dentil molding:
- Immediately below the peaked roof line.
- Underneath the horizontal soffit.
While the Nantucket dentil molding here was custom made on site, today’s homes use stock trim available in standard sizes from manufacturers like Richwood Exterior Finishings.
