Parapets & Soffits

Parapet mouldings create a strong, decorative finish along the upper edges of a building. They can define rooflines, add depth to a façade and provide a refined transition between different levels or architectural elements.

Soffit mouldings are installed beneath eaves, balconies and other overhanging sections. They add proportion and detail to areas that may otherwise appear plain, helping create a more complete and considered exterior design.

Thermatech manufactures lightweight parapet and soffit mouldings in a range of profiles and sizes. Products can also be customised to complement the style and dimensions of new homes, commercial buildings and renovation projects.

Design Options for Polystyrene Parapet and Soffit Mouldings

Parapet and soffit profiles can be customised to suit the proportions, dimensions and architectural character of each project. Designs may range from clean, understated profiles for contemporary buildings to deeper or more decorative shapes suited to Hamptons, Federation and Art Deco façades.

Parapet mouldings can define rooflines, highlight changes between building levels and create strong horizontal shadow lines. Soffit mouldings can add detail beneath eaves, balconies, entry structures and other projecting elements, helping these areas appear more complete and visually balanced.

Thermatech manufactures these profiles from high-density expanded polystyrene (EPS) with a durable exterior coating. Standard profiles are available, while custom shapes and sizes can be produced to coordinate with other architectural features across the building.

Benefits of Lightweight Polystyrene Parapets and Soffits

Lightweight EPS parapet and soffit mouldings offer several practical design and installation advantages:

  • Lightweight Construction: EPS profiles are significantly lighter than comparable concrete or masonry features. This makes them easier to transport and handle while placing considerably less additional load on the building. Final suitability and fixing requirements should always be confirmed for each project.
  • Durable Exterior Finish: When correctly installed, sealed and painted, Thermatech mouldings are designed for exterior applications and provide a durable, low-maintenance decorative finish.
  • Flexible Design Options: Profiles can be custom-cut to complement a wide range of architectural styles, including Federation, Hamptons, Art Deco and contemporary façades.
  • Consistent Architectural Detailing: Custom manufacturing allows parapet and soffit features to be sized and repeated consistently across rooflines, eaves and building elevations.

Straightforward Installation for Experienced Trades

Compared with heavy masonry features, lightweight EPS mouldings are generally easier to transport, position and install. Installation should be completed by suitably experienced tradespeople using appropriate access equipment, approved adhesives and good building practices.

  1. Lightweight Handling: Long parapet and soffit profiles can be positioned more easily than comparable solid masonry components.
  2. Accurate Cutting: Profiles can be cut and adjusted on site using suitable trade tools, allowing accurate joints, mitred corners and project-specific lengths.
  3. Adhesive Fixing: Mouldings are fixed to suitable prepared surfaces using approved construction adhesives and appropriate installation methods.
  4. Ready for Painting: Once installed and properly jointed, the finished profiles can be coated with a suitable exterior acrylic paint intended for masonry surfaces.
