Attention to Details

There are a few points that should be considered

A) Do you want a whole acorn or urn or a 1/2 element that goes up against a wall

B) Do the Volutes (curly part) exceed the Fascia Moulding (C) as shown here

C) Does the Fascia require a header - a rectangular band under the moulding ?

D) Depth - how deep is each part - please think in 3D

Half Urn that goes up against the wall or a full urn

Materials

HARDWOODS

For Historic accuracy Imperial can produce an exact duplicate of your existing pediment in

Hardwood both carved and milled. You cannot use interior woods such as Poplar outside.

In fact. we discourage you from using Poplar or Basswood as it is too hairy and absorbent when

painting or staining.

Exterior Woods include:

Knotty Pine: Shellac the knots before painting

Clear Pine: Some knots but small

Western Red Cedar: Soft but Rot resilient

White Oak: Extremely Hard

Interior Wood Selection:

Cherry, Walnut, Red Oak, Maple, Alder, Knotty Pine, White Oak etc

All are custom priced

ArchPolymerTM
ArchPolymerTM is a synthetic composite material. It is rot, water, and insect resistant. You can cut it like wood, screw into it. They are primed white. The backs are often hollow but the walls are thick. Solid back is an option
INSTALLATION NOTES To install an ArchPolymerTM pediment use our construction adhesive on the back. If the substrate is brick use Tapcons by predrilling holes for the screws. If the substrate is stucco or siding use long - preferably no rust nickel screws and cover the countersunk head with our spackling compound.

GFRC-ZeamentTM

a Cement Composite

Pediments can be custom made in GFRC-ZeamentTM for exterior use

ZeamentTM is a lite weight composite consisting of Portland Cement, sand, aggregates,

alkali resistant fiber, polymer, adhesives and water.

Glass fibers re-enforce the product resulting in a stronger material than normal

concrete. ZeamentTM is a 1/2" thick laminate re-enforced with steel and usually installed by drywall,

millwork and masonry contractors.

It is lightweight enough to reduce the amount of structural steel required for a building, much less

than 40lbs per square foot for

precast concrete yet strong enough to be used in hurricane and earthquake zones.

GFRC can be used for columns, cornice, frieze,

wall panels, domes, finals, pediments balustrades and more.

ZeamentTM can be supplied

1) Smooth paint grade finish

2) Internally pigmented in 12 colors

3) Sandblasted to achieve the look of stone
