Italianate architecture took hold in America from roughly 1840 to 1885, borrowing the bracketed eaves, tall narrow windows, and richly curved profiles of Renaissance Italian villas. Italianate moulding favors sweeping ogee curves, bold scroll brackets, paired window hoods, and crown assemblies that project further from the wall than any other 19th-century style.
Mason’s Mill carries 45 Italianate profiles suited to brownstone restorations, Hudson Valley villas, and the bracketed wood-frame Italianates common across the Midwest. They pair naturally with our Victorian profiles when restoring transitional homes built in the 1860s and 1870s.
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.
