If you want to give your home a polished, high-end look while complementing your metal roof system, metal trim and moulding are one of the best design investments you can make. The Paxton Collection from Helix Metalforming offers a complete line of premium metal moulding profiles that protect, accentuate, and elevate your exterior architecture. Unlike wood or PVC trim that fades, cracks, or rots over time, this architectural sheetmetal system delivers the precision and timeless sophistication of traditional detailing without the maintenance.
Traditional wood moulding requires frequent repainting or repair, while PVC trim is often limited to plain white finishes that lack versatility. The Paxton Collection solves both challenges, offering durable moulding options crafted from copper, zinc, aluminum, or steel, available in over 40 designer colors and finishes. Designed to coordinate with Helix’s full range of metal roofing panels, crown moulding, and trims, Paxton creates a cohesive and weather-tight exterior finish that enhances both beauty and longevity.
Beyond its refined appearance, the Paxton Collection’s metal moulding provides:
- Long-term durability and color retention
- Seamless visual coordination across roof and window systems
- Low-maintenance protection
These advantages make it the perfect choice for homeowners, architects, and builders seeking performance and style that lives up to Philadelphia’s historic charm and can handle unpredictable weather.
The P5 Profile — Classic Precision and Modern Sophistication
The P5 Profile, part of the Paxton Collection, is a distinctive plank moulding designed specifically to frame windows. Unlike the crown profiles used along rooflines, the P5 brings that same craftsmanship to your home’s window and door placements, providing enhanced definition and sophisticated contrast.
The P5’s short, curved relief section gives it a classic trim moulding look that feels timeless and tailored. Installed around windows, it highlights the architectural lines of your home — either by matching the color of your roof and crown moulding for a cohesive look or by creating contrast with a complementary hue. The P5 also makes it easy to go all in on the sophisticated “tuxedo look” that’s trending across modern and restored Philadelphia homes alike.
Designed to attach directly to the window outline, the P5 comes with or without a nail flange, allowing flexibility for both new construction and retrofit installations. Its versatile design adds depth, precision, and distinction—bringing together classic elegance and modern edge for a complete, finished look.
Each P5 moulding is made from premium metals and coated with a high-performance PVDF finish that maintains its color and gloss for decades. Resistant to peeling, fading, and chalking through Philadelphia’s toughest weather, the P5 delivers lasting beauty that enhances curb appeal and design cohesion across your entire exterior.
Built to Last, Designed to Impress
As part of Helix Metalforming’s fully integrated architectural sheetmetal system, the P5 Profile complements matching roofing panels, crown mouldings, and trim accessories for a consistent, elevated finish.
