A corbel carries the eye as well as the load: it marks where an eave, balcony or mantel meets the wall. Decorative Architectural Products has made custom carved corbels for more than 25 years, using EPS instead of solid wood or stone.
Why EPS corbels
The carved relief is produced by CNC cutting and refined by hand, so the detail rivals hand carved corbels. A polyurea coating protects against UV, moisture and thermal cycles. Faux corbels cost far less to ship and handle than timber, and they need no structural reinforcement on long façades. We provide a 20-year thermal warranty on all products.
Where they go
Outdoors, decorative brackets exterior and wood brackets exterior style pieces support eaves, porches and balconies. Indoors, mantel corbels frame a fireplace and a faux beam corbel finishes the end of a ceiling beam. If you are comparing a corbel vs bracket, a corbel is usually a solid block and a bracket an open L-shaped support. Modillion vs corbel is mostly a matter of placement: modillions sit under a cornice, corbels under projections. A decorative corbel can also be styled as a Craftsman or Victorian detail. Exterior pieces get their weather resistance from the polyurea hard coat, while interior corbels can be given a hand-applied faux wood finish. That flexibility helps when a hotel, restoration or custom home needs dozens of matching pieces: every corbel repeats the same pattern and weight, so installers can work quickly and the finished row looks even.
In corbel architecture, the corbel construction and the corbel molding set the style. Corbel designs range from simple stepped blocks to scrolled and leaf-carved shapes, so you can match the house or the interior.

FAQ
- What is a corbel?
A corbel is a decorative or structural element that projects from a wall to support an eave, balcony, shelf or mantel.
- What is the difference between a corbel and a bracket?
A corbel is usually a solid block, while a bracket is often an open, L-shaped support. The terms are frequently used interchangeably.
- What is the difference between a modillion and a corbel?
A modillion sits under a cornice and is typically more uniform and repeated. A corbel sits under a projection such as an eave, porch or mantel.
- Why choose EPS carved corbels instead of wood or stone?
They reproduce the carved look at a fraction of the cost and weight, and need no structural reinforcement. The polyurea coating protects against UV, moisture and thermal cycles.
