Victorian era architectural refinement is often defined by the details along a roofline. The Paxton Exterior Crown Moulding Collection from Helix Metalforming was created to bring depth, proportion, and durability to those defining edges. Within the collection, the P4 profile crown moulding stands out as a versatile solution for both restoration and new construction.
The P4 profile is a roll-formed product, allowing it to be produced in continuous lengths of up to 50 feet. This extended length capability creates cleaner rooflines with fewer seams, resulting in a smoother, more cohesive appearance along soffits and eaves. Fewer joints not only enhance the visual flow and make it easier to install, but also contribute to long-term performance by minimizing potential moisture intrusion points.
Available in three durable metals—aluminum, copper, and zinc—the P4 profile offers flexibility to match both aesthetic goals and performance requirements. With more than 40 colors and finishes available, including timeless neutrals and bold architectural tones, the Paxton Collection makes it possible to achieve historically accurate restorations or striking contemporary contrasts.
Historic architecture is known for its pronounced cornices and layered trim. The P4 profile allows builders and designers to recreate that character and charm on new construction, giving modern buildings the depth and architectural presence that define traditional streetscapes. At the same time, it serves as a durable replacement for aging wood crown moulding, helping preserve the integrity and visual identity of existing row homes and historic properties.
Engineered for long-term exterior performance, the P4 profile resists fading, chalking, corrosion, and weather-related wear. Whether exposed to snow, humidity, intense sun, or seasonal temperature swings, it maintains both structural integrity and color vibrancy.
For projects requiring additional dimension, profiles within the Paxton Collection can be combined to create built-up crown details, adding depth and shadow lines that elevate the entire façade. Mixing metals or finishes between profiles can further accentuate architectural features and create a distinctive, customized roofline.
At Helix Metalforming, precision, craftsmanship, and quality are paramount. Each P4 profile is roll formed with exacting standards to ensure consistent dimensions, crisp lines, and a refined appearance.
The Paxton Crown Moulding Collection delivers the ultimate balance of architectural sophistication and lasting durability—preserving historic character while bringing timeless refinement to new construction.
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.
