Significance of Maintaining and Repairing Cornices
In the world of architectural preservation, Heather & Little Ltd. stands out as a leading specialist in the fabrication and installation of cornice brackets. With over a century of heritage restoration experience in North America, this company has demonstrated deep expertise in preserving historic architectural elements like cornices.
Cornices, decorative trims that form where walls and ceilings meet, both interior and exterior, play a significant role in adding a crown or special effect to a building's roofline. They are not just found in modern structures but also in many classical buildings, including those from the turn of the 20th century in major North American cities.
Heather & Little Ltd. has completed numerous unique projects showcasing restored, preserved, and newly created architectural details. Their services extend beyond simple restoration, as they offer heritage restoration consulting and expanding restoration techniques. This comprehensive approach ensures preservation planning and material selection that maintains historical integrity.
Their top services for cornice restoration and preservation on historical buildings include custom fabrication of cornice brackets tailored to historical designs, installation of fabricated cornice components with craftsmanship that aligns with period aesthetics and structural requirements, and the removal and hand-fabrication of missing or damaged cornice pieces.
The company's craftsmen can recreate or restore cornices made of wood or other materials. They also specialize in custom sheet metal fabrication, using materials like copper, lead, and galvanized steel to replicate original sheet metal accents or mimic original stonework. The use of durable materials ensures longevity, ensuring that the restored cornices regain their original beauty and maintain it for years to come.
