Philadelphia’s architectural identity is written in expertly crafted bay windows, built up crown moulding, and intricate victorian cornice lines. From two-story twins, three-story Victorian to larger modern builds designed to follow the architectural rhythm of the city, these buildings rely on strong rooflines and exterior crown moulding to stay in character. As time speeds up in our fast paced modern world, preserving those details requires more than a commitment to details — it demands materials that outperform traditional solutions.
The Paxton Crown Moulding Collection from Helix Metalforming is a full line of exterior metal crown moulding products designed specifically to preserve and enhance historic architecture. It offers a modern answer to one of the most persistent challenges in restoration: maintaining ornate details without constant upkeep and repair.
A Grand Design Perfect for Grand Architecture
The P2 profile, part of the Paxton Collection, is defined by its bold proportions and architectural depth. Unlike lightweight trim alternatives that lose presence as buildings rise, the P2 maintains its visual strength and elegance at two, three, and even four stories high—a critical requirement for Philadelphia’s classic Victorian rowhouses.
Installed at the junction where the roof meets masonry or parapet walls, the P2 profile provides a refined crown detail while performing essential protective functions:
- Sealing vulnerable roof-to-wall transitions
- Directing water safely away from historic brick and stone
- Preventing long-term moisture infiltration and damage
The result is a roofline that looks historically accurate while delivering modern building performance.
A Preservation Solution No Other Material Can Match
The Paxton Crown Moulding Collection stands apart because it is the only metal exterior crown moulding system of its kind on the market.
Traditional wooden crown moulding—still common on historic buildings—begins to deteriorate in as little as 10 years, requiring repeated painting, repair, and eventually full replacement. Even more durable alternatives like PVC are limited in both appearance and flexibility, typically available only in white and prone to cracking and peeling.
Paxton changes that entirely by offering a crown moulding solution available in over 40 colors and crafted from three premium materials—aluminum, copper, and zinc. Aluminum profiles feature a fade-proof PVDF coating guaranteed for up to 30 years, eliminating peeling, chalking, and the need for repainting, while copper and zinc provide unmatched longevity and authenticity, naturally developing a patina over time and lasting up to 100 years.
This makes Paxton crown moulding a true long-term preservation solution, not a recurring maintenance obligation.
Crafted for Historic Buildings, Backed by Local Expertise
Each Paxton profile is a precision roll-formed product, available in four distinct profile sizes to properly match the scale and proportions of your building. The collection also includes plank moulding, allowing window trims and other exterior details to align seamlessly with the crown moulding—opening the door to a wide range of cohesive, historically informed design options.
When you work with Helix Metalforming, you get more than premium materials. You gain:
- Custom fabrication on every order
- Rigorous quality control
- Local expertise rooted in Philadelphia architecture
From restoring a single rowhome to preserving an entire historic block, we help building owners and contractors protect what makes these structures timeless.
Preserving Philadelphia’s Victorian rowhouses means choosing materials that respect the city’s past while standing up to its future. The Paxton Metal Crown Moulding Collection delivers the architectural presence these buildings demand, paired with unmatched durability and design flexibility that traditional materials simply can’t offer. Whether you’re restoring a historic rowhome or designing a new building rooted in Philadelphia’s architectural language, Paxton provides a crown moulding solution built to last for generations. Partner with Helix Metalforming to protect the details that define our city—reach out today to get a quote.
Philadelphia’s rooflines tell a story. From ornate cornices to layered trim details, the city’s historic architecture is defined by strong silhouettes and carefully crafted crown moulding. The Paxton Collection’s P3 profile exterior crown moulding from Helix Fabrication is designed to preserve that legacy—while delivering the durability modern buildings demand.
For historic row homes and legacy properties, maintaining original character is essential. Traditional wood cornices can deteriorate over time due to moisture, temperature swings, and general wear. The P3 profile recreates the depth and proportion of classic crown moulding in precision-formed metal that resists rot, corrosion, and fading. It allows you to maintain the architectural integrity of the structure without committing to constant repairs.
The Paxton Collection is equally powerful for new construction. If you’re designing a new building in Philadelphia but want it to reflect the character and charm of the city’s historic streetscapes, the P3 profile offers an authentic solution. It brings the layered detail and strong roofline definition of traditional architecture to contemporary builds—bridging past and present in a way that feels intentional and cohesive.
For projects that require greater dimension, built-up profiles allow you to stack multiple crown moulding pieces to create a more pronounced and dramatic cornice line. Mixing and matching colors between profiles can further highlight architectural detail, adding subtle contrast or bold distinction that elevates the entire façade.
At Helix Fabrication, precision, craftsmanship, and quality are paramount. Each P3 profile is carefully fabricated to ensure consistent lines, accurate proportions, and seamless transitions along the roofline. The result is a refined finish that enhances both restoration work and new builds.
Because Helix is local to Philadelphia, sourcing exterior crown moulding is efficient and convenient. Whether you need full runs for a new project, replacement sections for a historic renovation, or smaller custom trim pieces, working with a local fabricator simplifies timelines and coordination.
The Paxton Collection’s P3 exterior crown moulding offers a luxurious finishing touch that respects Philadelphia’s architectural heritage while providing long-term performance. It’s a durable, thoughtfully crafted solution for preserving the character that’s already there—and recreating it for generations to come.
When you’re designing a building in Philadelphia, you’re balancing two things: how it looks and how long it will last. The Flush Architectural Metal Wall Panel with Reveal from Helix Fabrication is built to deliver both.
If you care about clean lines and a sharp, uninterrupted surface, this panel gives you that refined, modern finish. The subtle reveal joint adds depth and shadow without overwhelming the design. It works beautifully on both residential and commercial projects — anywhere you want a smooth, tailored appearance that feels intentional.
But aesthetics only matter if the system holds up.
Philadelphia weather isn’t easy on exterior materials. Between freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, and summer heat, you need panels that won’t fade, warp, or corrode. Helix fabricates these panels from high-quality materials including Galvalume®, aluminum, copper, zinc, and Drexlume™, with a 30-year color coating designed to maintain its integrity over time. Once installed, the system is built to resist corrosion and reduce ongoing maintenance—so you’re not repainting or replacing panels years down the line.
At Helix Fabrication, precision, craftsmanship, and quality are paramount. Every panel is carefully formed to ensure tight tolerances, consistent reveals, and a finish that looks as good up close as it does from the street. When details matter—and they always do—those small differences show.
Being local to Philadelphia also makes a difference. Helix isn’t shipping your materials from across the country. That means shorter lead times, easier coordination, and a convenient source for smaller orders, trim pieces, or custom fabrications. If your project needs adjustments or additional components, you’re working with a nearby partner who understands the pace and demands of building in this city.
The result is simple: a metal panel system that delivers the modern aesthetic you want and the long-term durability you need—crafted with care, built for Philadelphia, and made to last.
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.
When you choose Helix Metalforming, you’re investing in custom fabrication, expert craftsmanship, and trusted local service backed by years of experience supporting Philadelphia’s builders, contractors, and homeowners.
Classic. Sophisticated. Built to last. That’s the Helix difference.
METALCON 2025 in Las Vegas brought together the best and brightest in the metal construction industry — and Helix Metalforming delivered one of the event’s standout educational experiences.
As both a board member organization and featured educator, Helix played a prominent role this year. President Jared Hamburger and Project Manager Darren Cocca led the highly anticipated hands-on workshop, Advanced Techniques in Metalforming: Metal Crown Moulding, offering contractors an immersive learning experience focused on precision craftsmanship and advanced installation methods.
Held in Meeting Room S228, the session went far beyond a traditional lecture format. Attendees participated in live demonstrations followed by mock-up practice, giving them the opportunity to work through real-world installation scenarios under expert guidance. The interactive format allowed contractors to refine techniques, ask detailed questions, and gain practical experience they can immediately apply in the field.
Emceed by Ashley Muir, owner of the branding agency Wldfyr, the workshop covered a comprehensive range of advanced applications, including:
- Metal Crown Moulding Installation – with a focus on Greek Cornice applications requiring soffit-mounted crown moulding
- Window Trim Installation – achieving precise, seamless finishes
- Greek Cornice Returns – detailing techniques for high-end architectural impact
- Zinc Roof Installation – mastering finer detailing and hand clip techniques using hand tools
- Board & Batten Wall Panel Installation – installation methods that balance strength and design versatility
- Flush Panel Soffit Installation with a Reveal – delivering clean, modern architectural lines
Participants left with more than just new ideas — they walked away with sharpened technical skills, deeper confidence, and actionable techniques for both restoration and new construction projects.
Metal crown moulding and architectural detailing demand a level of precision that separates standard installations from exceptional craftsmanship. By mastering these advanced techniques, contractors can:
- Achieve historical accuracy in restoration work
- Execute modern architectural designs with refined precision
- Increase installation durability and longevity
- Expand their capabilities to pursue higher-value projects
The workshop also provided added professional value, awarding 4.0 AIA LU HSW credits, reinforcing Helix’s commitment not just to innovation, but to advancing industry education.
METALCON 2025 proved to be an energizing event for the industry — and Helix Metalforming didn’t just participate in the conversation. They helped lead it. Through education, mentorship, and hands-on training, Helix once again demonstrated its dedication to elevating craftsmanship across the metal construction community.
If you want to protect your home while enhancing its architectural beauty, 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 protects your roofline while adding timeless style. Unlike wood or PVC trim that cracks, fades, or requires constant upkeep, this architectural sheet metal system offers the sophisticated look of traditional moulding without the maintenance.
Traditional wood crown moulding demands regular painting or staining, and PVC trim often comes only in white. The Paxton Collection eliminates those limitations by offering durable moulding crafted from copper, zinc, aluminum, and steel, available in over 40 designer colors and finishes. Designed for both wall and soffit mounting, Paxton moulding creates a sleek, weather-tight transition between roof and siding—perfect for preserving Philadelphia’s distinctive mix of historic and modern homes.
Beyond its refined appearance, the Paxton Collection metal crown moulding helps:
- Seal roof-to-wall joints to prevent leaks
- Direct water runoff safely away from the home
- Protect against long-term moisture damage
These features make it a smart and lasting choice for Philadelphia homeowners seeking protection and style that can endure the city’s hot summers, icy winters, and stormy seasons.
The P3 Profile — Grand, Luxurious, and Built to Make a Statement
The P3 Profile, part of the Paxton Collection, delivers the boldest, most dramatic design of the series. Roll-formed from premium metal, the P3 features an elongated curved relief that creates a striking architectural highlight along the roofline. With a 3-inch depth and a 6-inch design style, this profile offers a more dimensional and elegant appearance that enhances the look of taller homes and buildings.
Designed to fit perfectly over 2×8 or 2×10 framing, the P3 Profile is ideal for two-story homes and higher structures, particularly those with 15-foot stories or more. While it offers a grander presence than other profiles, the P3 remains balanced and refined—its graceful curvature and precise patterning create a look that is both powerful and elegant. Whether installed as a Wall Mount or Soffit Mount, it adds luxury and distinction to any design.
Each P3 Profile is finished with a high-performance PVDF coating that maintains color and gloss for decades, resisting peeling, fading, and chalking through Philadelphia’s most extreme weather. With over 40 colors and finish options, homeowners can match their existing roofing or choose a bold accent that elevates their home’s curb appeal.
Built to Last, Designed to Impress
As part of Helix Metalforming’s complete architectural sheet metal system, the P3 Profile works seamlessly with matching roofing panels, soffit mounts, and accessories to create a cohesive, high-end exterior that performs for decades.
