gtblum Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 The separation with the frieze and crown, between the clapboards and the shakes. Is that considered to also be a cornice, or is there another name because of where it's located? Click to Enlarge 67.48 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were lower, at the level of the first floor, we'd call it the "water table." Might be different in your area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Horizontal Band Trim and Water Table is what we use around here. Although, I only use Water Table when it's masonry. I don't know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 The correct architectural term is simply "band" or "band moulding". If it were of masonry, it's a belt course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Good. I was about to ask if they were joking about 'Water Table'. Still hard to tell when they're joking sometimes. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Quite serious about "water table" but it generally applies to the trim at the level of the first floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
