Lightweight Exterior Pediments
Pediment mouldings over windows and doors, as a raking pediment with a mitred apex or a straight pediment, both with return stop ends.
About This Profile Family
Our pediments are a lightweight alternative designed to replicate traditional stone pediments over windows and doors. Each pediment profile can be made as a raking pediment, two raking lengths mitred at the apex, or as a straight pediment running past the opening, and both have return stop ends pre-formed in our factory. Span, pitch and length are set to suit each opening, with pieces up to 2400mm long.
