Dentils are one of those architectural details that tend to fade into the background until they are gone. Then suddenly the building looks unfinished. The roofline feels flatter, lighter somehow, like something has been taken away. When dentils are right, they quietly hold everything together.
At Curley G.R.P. Ltd, dentil mouldings have been part of what we do for many years. We manufacture GRP dentils, and for customers in Kent we can also arrange installed dentils. It is not a new service, just something we are now making easier to find.
Dentil mouldings for traditional and modern buildings
Dentils are small, repeating block mouldings traditionally fitted beneath the eaves of a building. They are most often associated with period properties, classical architecture, and traditional detailing, but they work just as well on modern homes where the roofline needs definition.
We manufacture dentil mouldings in GRP, allowing for consistent spacing, accurate profiles, and a clean finish once installed. GRP dentils are durable, lightweight, and low maintenance, which makes them a practical alternative to traditional materials without losing the visual impact.
GRP dentils manufactured to suit your property
No two buildings are exactly the same. Some dentil enquiries are for new builds, others involve replacing or matching existing dentils on older properties. We manufacture both off-the-shelf and bespoke dentil mouldings, which means profiles can usually be matched rather than guessed.
With over 57 years of experience manufacturing architectural mouldings, we understand how dentils should look once they are fitted to a building. Proportion, projection, and spacing matter more than people expect. Getting those details right is what stops dentils looking heavy or out of place.
Installed dentils in Kent
For customers based in Kent and the surrounding areas, we can arrange dentil installation as well as supply. Installed dentils can form part of a wider roofline project or be fitted on their own to improve the appearance of an existing property.
Dentil installation relies on accuracy. The way dentils sit beneath the eaves, how they align, and how they interact with other roofline elements all affect the final result. Our approach is straightforward and experience-led, starting with a discussion about the building rather than assumptions.
Dentils with fascia and soffit work
Many enquiries for dentil mouldings come alongside fascia and soffit replacement. Updating these elements together often creates a more balanced and complete roofline and can reduce maintenance over time.
Dentils work particularly well when installed alongside new fascia and soffits, helping to tie the roofline together visually. If you are already planning fascia or soffit work, it is often worth considering dentils at the same time.
GRP dentils for period properties
GRP dentils are commonly used on period-style properties where the original detailing has deteriorated or been removed. Because GRP can be moulded accurately, it allows traditional dentil profiles to be replicated while offering a longer-lasting finish.
This makes GRP dentil mouldings a sensible option for restoration projects, extensions, and upgrades where maintaining the character of the building still matters.

Dentils are not about trends. They are about proportion, balance, and getting the finish right. When they work, they do not draw attention to themselves. They just belong.
