Exteriors - Corbel, Dentil, or Modillion?

Dentil Corbel or Modillion?It may be that you know what you want, but don't know what it's called. Typically a dentil was originally a square block or projection decorating a cornice. Victorian homes in particular featured a wide range of decorative wooden blocks, which adorned the underside of a plain soffit.

Some refer to dentils as corbels, these are more often load bearing brick or stone structures at the end of an elevation. In addition where these brackets are often located in pairs they are sometimes called modillions. Whatever you want to call them we can offer a low maintenance alternative. Choose from our best selling polyurethane designs (pre-finished in white) or our GRP alternatives available in a choice of colours.

We supply dentils in any quantity, not just packs of 28 or 42, and so can cater for even the most modest of requirements - just let us know what you need and we can help.

Our current range of Dentils is listed below, along with specifications and prices, our selection of Corbels is available here. If you can't see what you are looking for, send us a drawing, an estimate of the number of units required with anticipated delivery date, and we will quote for a bespoke design.

Colours & Finish - all Dentils with either an HM or MS prefix have a "finished" surface, and do not require painting. The standard colour is white, although we can offer alternatives if required (please ask for details).

Further Information Required? - Product information, including installation instructions, is available in Adobe Acrobat format on the Downloads page. Alternatively, contact us.
