The Federal style — sometimes called Adam style after the Scottish brothers who popularized it — shaped American homes from roughly 1780 to 1830, just after independence. Where Georgian trim is robust and Greek Revival is heavy, Federal moulding is delicate and refined: slim reeded pilasters, fine bead-and-reel detailing, oval and elliptical motifs, and crisp, narrow profiles that feel almost neoclassical-jewelry in scale.
Mason’s Mill carries 44 Federal & Adam profiles suited to early Republic townhouses, New England center-hall colonials, and Charleston single houses. They pair beautifully with our Georgian and Greek Revival profiles when layering periods on a single restoration.
Quarrix ProTect Furring Strips provide long-lasting protection that prevents moisture damage within the walls. Uniquely designed with small air channels to allow bulk water and other moisture to easily escape behind cladding, and air to flow vertically and horizontally to keep the wall assembly dry.
Made of durable, HDPE plastic, ProTect Furring Strips are resistant to warping, splitting, mold and mildew. Each piece is dimensionally die-cut so that you receive an identical piece every time. Approximately 1 linear foot of ProTect Furring Strips will be needed for every 1 square foot of wall covering.
