Architectural features of DSG are separate from the main weatherproof system of the building. Instead of needing nails, screws, or other fasteners like wood trims and precast masonry, our profiles are usually attached with mortar to the exterior of a finished, weather-resistant, code-compliant wall without puncturing the building membrane. Additionally, our designed top slope and drip-edge shape assist in diverting rainwater from the building facade.

The use of our lightweight materials can mitigate issues related to structural loading, settling, and seismic events. By selecting our products and adhering to our installation instructions, architects and builders can prevent potential risks and expenses linked to heavier or membrane-penetrating construction techniques.

Typically, we offer profiles that are almost double the size for the same cost as traditional architectural details, providing excellent value for larger components such as parapet cornices and brackets. Our installation systems save on labor costs significantly, and maintenance expenses are minimal compared to painted wood assemblies.
