Unlike inferior wood products, our exterior pilasters will not rot, warp or infest because they are made from a light-weight composite of inorganic materials. While providing a look similar to precast concrete, our products don't require structural reinforcing or an engineer's analysis of whether the walls can bear the load. Pilasters achieve a look similar to an upscale concrete column embedded into the wall, and can provide an illusion of actually supporting a door frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1886\/2961\/files\/pilaster-thumb_large.jpg?v=1496002156\" alt=\"door pilaster\" style=\"float: right;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1886\/2961\/files\/pilasters-thumb-2_large.jpg?v=1496002207\" alt=\"door pilaster\" style=\"float: right;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstalling Pilasters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePilasters can be installed as a retrofit to an existing door or on the corner of your home with a simple construction adhesive. We recommend caulking the joints after the adhesive sets.

The pilasters and dentils mesh together well, along with the window header moulding and window trim surround (left), and dormer with arched an moulding. Adding dentils to large cornice mouldings adds an air of prestige to the feature, as well as making it more interesting to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, you can tell the architect had throughly planned out his design as the lighting in the soffit is evenly spaced between the edge of the crown moulding and the outer soffit edge. Many designers and home owners don't realize that adding a crown moulding in the middle of a job means you need to offset your lighting so that the moulding doesn't end up covering the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso of note is that flashing between the wall and roof to prevent water intrusion, similar as to what should be done with EIFS walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\nExterior trim in this photo...\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/decoramould.com\/collections\/pilasters\/products\/pilaster-010\"\u003ePilaster 010\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/decoramould.com\/collections\/cornices\/products\/cornice-006\"\u003eCornice 006\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/decoramould.com\/collections\/trims\/products\/trim-009\"\u003eTrim 009\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecoramould is a \u003cstrong\u003estucco pilasters\u003c\/strong\u003e supplier for exterior home renovation, retrofits and alterations throughout the U.S.A. and Canada.
