What the AI looks for in Wall Pediments
- Material
- High-density polyurethane or PVC for exteriors and bathrooms; wood or MDF only for dry interiors Urethane does not rot, swell or warp, while MDF fails quickly with moisture.
- Width matched to the casing
- Size the pediment to the outside width of the door or window casing, not the opening A pediment narrower or wider than the trim below looks wrong and is hard to install cleanly.
- Primed versus finished
- Primed and paint-ready if it is meant to match trim Trim pediments are meant to be caulked and painted with the casing.
- Style
- Choose triangular, segmented (arched) or broken style to match the home's architecture The pediment shape needs to suit the architectural period, or it looks tacked on.
Brands that matter
- Ekena Millwork: Broad catalogue of urethane architectural millwork, including pediments.
What to avoid
- MDF pediments on exterior doors.
- Buying by the door opening size instead of the casing width.
