If you want to preserve the character of your historic Philadelphia home while adding timeless protection and curb appeal, metal roofing panels and trim are one of the best investments you can make. The Paxton Collection from Helix Metalforming offers a high-performance line of metal crown moulding that enhances and protects your roofline with architectural precision. Unlike wood or PVC trim that warps, cracks, or fades over time, this advanced architectural sheet metal system delivers the classic look of traditional moulding without the maintenance.
Traditional wood crown moulding demands regular repainting or staining, and PVC trim is often limited to plain white finishes. The Paxton Collection solves both problems by offering premium crown moulding crafted from copper, zinc, aluminum, or steel, available in over 40 colors and finishes. Designed for both wall and soffit mount applications, Paxton creates a clean, weather-tight transition between your roof and siding—ideal for the city’s blend of historic and contemporary architecture.
Beyond its elegant design, the Paxton Collection metal crown moulding helps:
- Seal roof-to-wall joints that are vulnerable to leaks
- Direct rainwater away from the structure
- Prevent moisture damage and long-term deterioration
These benefits make it a smart, lasting choice for protecting and beautifying homes across Philadelphia—from stately brick townhouses to Victorian restorations and modern renovations alike.
The P2 Profile — Bold, Refined, and Perfect for Historic Architecture
The P2 Profile, part of the Paxton Collection, offers a slightly more pronounced and dimensional design for projects that call for a stronger architectural statement. Roll-formed from premium metal, the P2 features an extended flush section that creates a longer, smoother visual plane along the roofline. Its 2½-inch depth and 4-inch design style provide a deeper, more sculptural look while maintaining the subtle elegance that complements historic façades.
Designed to fit perfectly over a 2×8 or 2×10 under the eave, the P2 Profile is recommended for two-story homes or taller buildings—especially those with 15-foot stories or more—where proportion and presence matter. Despite its size, the P2 Profile maintains an understated, balanced aesthetic thanks to its clean lines and precise patterning. Whether used as a Wall Mount or Soffit Mount, it delivers lasting beauty, strength, and performance.
Each P2 Profile is finished with a high-performance PVDF coating that keeps color and gloss consistent for decades, resisting peeling, fading, and chalking through Philadelphia’s hot summers, freezing winters, and stormy seasons. With over 40 available finishes, homeowners can perfectly match existing roofing panels or choose a contrasting tone to enhance curb appeal and architectural character.
Built to Last, Designed to Impress
As part of Helix Metalforming’s fully integrated architectural sheet metal system, the P2 Profile pairs effortlessly with matching roofing panels, soffit mounts, and accessories to create a cohesive, high-end exterior that’s engineered to last.
When you choose Helix Metalforming, you’re not just selecting a trim piece—you’re investing in custom fabrication, expert craftsmanship, and local service trusted by Philadelphia homeowners and contractors alike.
Durable. Distinguished. Built to endure. That’s the Helix difference.
