Decorative Cornice Mouldings & Ogee Fascia
Decorative roofline systems are an ideal way to add traditional charm and architectural character to both new builds and refurbishments. Whether used on extensions, glazed structures, porches or period-style homes, these systems create a premium, elegant roofline finish that enhances the overall appearance of the building.
Our fascias and decorative cornice mouldings combine classic aesthetics with modern materials, offering a durable, low-maintenance solution for creating a traditional roofline detail.

Products Featured in the Example Above:
- Cornice Moulding: Orac Xterio Cornice White 230 x 114mm x 2m
- Fascia: 9mm Ogee Cover / Capping Fascia White
Decorative Cornice Mouldings
Cornice mouldings add the distinctive architectural detail above the fascia.
Our range of decorative cornice mouldings is available in a range of profiles and sizes and can be used on extensions, porches, glazed structures, warm roofs and period-style buildings.
