About our architectural molding systems
Go beyond standard trim with a precision-engineered molding system designed to define your building’s architectural character.
Architectural crown moldings, built without compromise.
Engineered for precision, designed for impact. Our crown moldings are more than just decorative trim; they are high-performance architectural elements crafted to define and elevate your building’s character. Forget the limitations of off-the-shelf products from Crown Molding Home Depot or Lowe’s. We create custom profiles to your exact specifications.
Each piece is a fusion of art and engineering, fabricated from a high-density, lightweight EPS foam core. This allows for the creation of large crown molding profiles and intricate decorative crown molding that would be structurally impossible or financially prohibitive with traditional materials. It’s the key to achieving a high-end aesthetic with smarter, more efficient construction methods.
Get a system that is engineered for perfection and delivered ready for rapid installation.
The science behind a flawless, feather-light facade
Our architectural cornices are built on an advanced material composite, engineered for a century of performance. The process begins with a structural, high-density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam core, which we precision-cut using CNC technology. This ensures every miter, curve, and detail of your custom crown molding is geometrically perfect, guaranteeing flawless crown molding angles and seamless connections.
The core is then encapsulated in our signature polyurea hard coat. This isn’t just a coating; it’s armor. The spray-applied elastomer creates a monolithic, waterproof, and impact-resistant shell, transforming the lightweight foam into a structure with incredible resilience.
Finally, we apply an integrated, architectural-grade finish, like our stucco cornice moulding, that provides the authentic texture of masonry and superior resistance to weathering and UV degradation. This is how we build lightweight elements that outperform and outlast their heavyweight predecessors.

Before and after:
From forgettable to formidable
BeforeAfter:
The Challenge: A new commercial building had a clean but forgettable facade that lacked architectural presence. The developer’s initial plan for precast concrete cornices was value-engineered out due to extreme weight and exorbitant cost, leaving the building looking unfinished and generic.
The Solution: We engineered and fabricated a complete exterior cornice moulding system from lightweight EPS foam. The custom, pre-finished sections were installed by a three-person crew in just two days using a simple lift, with no structural modifications required.
The ROI: The cornice transformed the building’s identity from a simple box into a sophisticated architectural landmark. This powerful new curb appeal directly increased the property’s valuation and attracted premium tenants faster than projected. It wasn’t a cost; it was an investment in architectural character.
A crown molding is more than trim—it's your architectural signature
Your exterior cornice moulding is more than an architectural detail—it’s the signature that communicates value before anyone steps inside. We engineer crown moldings that don’t just complete a building; they elevate its worth.
