If you want to protect your home while adding timeless curb appeal, metal roofing panels and trim are one of the smartest investments you can make. The Paxton Collection from Helix Metalforming offers a high-performance line of metal crown moulding that both enhances and protects your roofline. Unlike wood or PVC trim that fades, cracks, or needs constant upkeep, this architectural sheet metal system delivers the classic look of traditional moulding without the maintenance.
Traditional wood crown moulding requires frequent staining or painting, and PVC options typically come in limited white finishes. The Paxton Collection solves both problems, offering durable crown moulding available in four premium metals—copper, zinc, aluminum, and steel—and over 40 rich color options. Designed to mount directly to your wall or soffit, Paxton creates a clean, weather-tight transition between your roof and siding.
Beyond its good looks, the Paxton Collection metal crown moulding also helps:
- Seal vulnerable roof-to-wall joints
- Direct water runoff away from the structure
- Prevent leaks and long-term moisture damage
These benefits make it a practical and stylish choice for homes across Philadelphia’s diverse architecture—from historic row homes to modern renovations—while standing up to the city’s ever-changing weather.
The P1 Profile — Refined, Durable, and Designed for Modern Living
The P1 Profile, part of the Paxton Collection, is roll-formed from premium metal and available in lengths up to 20 feet for a seamless, custom fit. Its 1¾-inch relief depth provides a subtle, refined accent to the roofline—perfect for homeowners who want a sophisticated finish without overwhelming their home’s proportions.
Fitting neatly over a standard 2×6 under the eave, the P1 Profile is ideal for one- and two-story homes looking to add a touch of luxury and class. Whether installed as a Wall Mount or Soffit Mount, it delivers precise performance, visual balance, and long-lasting appeal.
Each P1 Profile is finished with a high-performance PVDF coating that keeps color and gloss intact for decades—resisting peeling, fading, and chalking through Philadelphia’s hot summers, icy winters, and rainy seasons. With more than 40 available colors and finishes, homeowners can perfectly match their existing roofing panels or choose a bold contrast to enhance curb appeal.
Built to Last, Designed to Impress
As part of Helix Metalforming’s fully integrated architectural sheet metal system, the P1 Profile pairs effortlessly with matching roofing panels, soffit mounts, and accessories. The result is a cohesive, high-end exterior built to withstand decades of use.
When you choose Helix Metalforming, you’re not just buying a product—you’re investing in custom fabrication, expert craftsmanship, and local service backed by a reputation for quality that homeowners and contractors throughout Philadelphia trust.
