Dentil Mouldings

A Dentil profile is a decorative moulding characterised by a repeating pattern of small, rectangular, tooth-like blocks. It is often used as a design element to add texture and detail to architectural features.

Dentil profiles are often used in crown mouldings, cornices, and entablatures. They can also be found on the tops of columns, cabinetry, and fireplace mantels to add a sense of classical elegance.

Dentil profiles are versatile and can be adapted to various design styles. While they are often associated with classical and neoclassical designs, they can also add a touch of traditional detail to a variety of interior aesthetics.

Dentil profiles can be used to create a sense of architectural grandeur. They work well in spaces with high ceilings and can be employed as decorative friezes or crowning elements to add richness and depth.

Dentil profiles come in various designs, with different sizes and spacing between the tooth-like blocks. You can choose a design that suits your specific design preferences.

Dentil profiles have historical significance, often being associated with classical and neoclassical architecture. They have been used in the detailing of classical Greek and Roman buildings and continue to be favoured for their timeless appeal.
