facade arch ornament

A facade arch ornament is a decorative polyurethane element applied around the arch above windows and doors on a building's exterior. It is used together with keystones, mouldings and profile pieces to emphasise the arched line of the opening. Polyurethane is lightweight and is applied with construction adhesive; it resists moisture and impact, does not crack or blister and can be painted with exterior facade paint. Being lighter than stone and plaster equivalents, it adds no extra load above the arch and installs faster. Polure casts facade arch ornament pieces in different sizes and forms, so the ornamental details repeat identically on every piece.
