The Smaller Details: Wall Frame Panels


We have posted before about the use of panels on bay windows beneath the window sill (Read: Bay Window Designs). Our post today is about applying paneling on otherwise empty voids on your project.
We are often asked about what can be done to areas like the space over garage doors. If you home is like most, there is a minimum of 4' that separates your doors to the soffit. The solution? Panels.

We had three renderings done by our 3D specialist to illustrate the different options available. And if you can imagine what it looks like without it, you'll know what a difference 4 pieces of inexpensive mouldings can make.

OPTION 1 - MX121
The MX121 ($30.00 per 8' length) is a symmetrical shape that measures 3-1/4". It's foundation is flat with a bullnose (or hump as we hear a lot) in the middle. A perfect choice for symmetrical style lovers who want extra detail.


OPTION 2 - MX122
The MX122 ($28.80 per 8' length) is a 4" profile with detailed edges. It only sticks out 1" from the wall and definitely won't interfere with other mouldings on your project acting more like a subtle accent.



OPTION 3 - MX604
The MX604 ($28.00 per 8' length) is also a 4" profile with a 1" projection. This one is our favourites (and also the most inexpensive of the three) since if resembles a classic panel profile. Bold flat detail with an inner edging make the possibilities for this moulding endless.


For under $30.00 an 8' length, panels really are an inexpensive way to spice up your curb appeal. The above 3D rendering would require only five pieces (2-1/2 lengths per door).

Each of these shapes can be bought from our online store at mouldexmouldings.com. We ship across the world.
