These mouldings are often custom made to create a unique decorative feature to the front façade of your home. Whether it is a “Hampton’s” style mock vent, an “Art Deco” detailed door entrance or “Federation” style corbel, these features add character and charm to enhance the period style or theme being created.
Polystyrene quoins, corbels, dentils, and custom facade features are decorative architectural mouldings designed to transform standard building exteriors into striking, high-end landmarks. Historically crafted from stone, timber, or concrete, these specialty accents add visual depth, character, and classical charm to residential homes and commercial developments. Whether installing bold corner quoins to anchor a modern rendered facade, elegant gable corbels to support an overhang, or intricate Hamptons-style mock vents, custom architectural features elevate street appeal and boost property value.
At Thermatech, our complete range of architectural quoins, corbels, dentils, and custom exterior features are manufactured using high-density expanded polystyrene (EPS). Each profile is finished with a tough, weather-resistant exterior render coat. While traditional masonry or timber features present severe installation and maintenance challenges, modern builders, renderers, and homeowners rely on lightweight polystyrene profiles for superior durability, structural efficiency, and design flexibility.
Upgrading your building’s exterior with lightweight EPS quoins, corbels, and decorative mouldings provides distinct structural and long-term financial advantages:
Zero Structural Weight Stress: Traditional stone or concrete quoins and corbels add massive dead weight to a building’s frame and foundation, often requiring expensive engineering modifications or heavy mechanical anchors. Polystyrene quoins add virtually no structural weight, making them safe and easy to apply over brickwork, rendered walls, or lightweight cladding.
100% Rot, Crack, and Weather Resistance: Timber corbels and gable trims expand, shrink, and decay when exposed to Australia’s harsh sun and rain. Thermatech’s rendered polystyrene features are completely waterproof, rot-proof, and termite-resistant, ensuring your facade stays pristine for decades without cracking, splitting, or rotting.
Limitless Architectural Customization: From classic Victorian and Federation corner block quoins to modern Art Deco entry surrounds and custom Hamptons-style window features, EPS profiles can be precision-cut to match virtually any design vision or heritage profile.
One of the largest hidden costs in exterior facade work is labor. Heavy stone or sand-and-cement features require multi-person crews and specialized lifting equipment.
By contrast, Thermatech polystyrene quoins and special features are engineered for fast, efficient fitting on site:
Lightweight Handling: Large corner quoins, heavy-looking corbels, and complex wall features can easily be handled, positioned, and fitted by a single installer without cranes or scaffolding winches.
Simple Cutting & Mitring: Profiles cut cleanly on site using standard handsaws or hot-wire equipment for precise corner joints and custom lengths.
Seamless Adhesive Fixing: Mouldings are fixed directly to rendered masonry, AAC panels, or cladding using approved construction adhesives with minimal mechanical fasteners required.
Ready for Paint Finish: Once installed and jointed with a rendered patch, the smooth surface readily accepts any standard exterior acrylic paint to match your home’s color palette.
Whether you are a commercial builder, facade renderer, or homeowner upgrading your front entry, Thermatech delivers high-density architectural quoins, corbels, and custom mouldings directly to sites across Australia. Every shipment is packaged with care to ensure your decorative profiles arrive straight, intact, and ready to install.
