A.W. Ross is the controller of Lundberg Roofing, Windows & Siding, a company that has been serving Charlotte, North Carolina since 1979, and according to him, dentil molding is a great way to add value to one’s home while improving its outdoor appearance. Dentil molding (or moulding, as some call it), is a series of closely spaced blocks that form a decorative trim. Although the spellings are different, dentil molding actually resembles a sequences of tooth-like shapes, thereby causing many to mistakenly refer to it as “dental” molding. Dentil molding can often be found on older homes, though these days, more and more modern homes are beginning to sport this timeless, fancy look. While this type of specialty accent has its place both inside the house and out, many people looking to beef up their homes’ exteriors will choose to have it installed along the roofline for all to see.
While many homes with simple, plain exteriors can benefit from dentil molding, in many cases, this type of accent is used to replace older molding that is perhaps less polished or attractive. The good thing about dentil molding installation is that it is a rather quick and minimally disruptive process, as it can often be completed in a day. On the other hand, dentil molding is something that is usually reserved for people whose budgets for home improvement are more open and generous, as it can be rather expensive to incorporate into a house’s exterior (or interior, for that matter). The reason for this is that dentil molding installation requires a fair degree of skill – primarily, the ability to mount the molding in a manner that is properly spaced and aligned. Due to the cost involved in dentil molding, it is a unique feature of which only certain houses can boast.
