A corbel does a lot of visual work for very little of the facade’s total area — the small bracket detail under an eave, window head or overhang that reads as traditional, considered architecture rather than a plain, unfinished edge. Cut from masonry or cast in concrete, that detail is heavy and slow to install; Unitex Corbels give builders and renderers the same carved, projecting look in a lightweight EPS profile that finishes as part of the same render and texture system as the rest of the facade.

What’s in the Range

The Corbel range covers five stock decorative styles, each with its own distinct profile, so a facade can be detailed to suit anything from a simple, understated line to a more heavily scrolled, traditional shape. A separate two-style Bracket range sits alongside the Corbels within this category — a plainer, more utilitarian support-bracket profile for projects wanting the visual cue of a bracket without the fuller decorative detailing of the Corbel styles. Beyond the five stock Corbel profiles, custom corbel shapes can also be produced on request for a facade that needs a specific, non-standard profile.

Void-Formed for Strength Where It Matters

Corbels sit within the Uni-Shape range’s larger, void-formed sub-categories, alongside window heads, parapet mouldings and stringers. Rather than being solid all the way through, these shapes are built with a reinforced layer running completely around a hollow void, with thicker, more solid material specifically at the upper and lower leading edges — the points where load and handling stress concentrate during installation and in service. It’s a deliberate weight-versus-strength trade-off: light enough to handle and fix without the effort a solid masonry corbel demands, reinforced exactly where a corbel actually needs it.

Finished to Match the Rest of the Facade

Like the rest of the Uni-Shape range, Corbels are mechanically fixed rather than left to rely on adhesive alone, and are never texture-coated — the crisp lines of the profile are the point, and a smooth topcoat keeps them that way. That keeps a corbel detail reading as intentional architecture rather than an odd, mismatched texture break under an eave line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the Corbel range and the Bracket range?

The five Corbel styles are more decoratively detailed, suited to traditional and heritage-style facades. The two Bracket styles are plainer and more utilitarian, suited to a simpler support-bracket look.

Can I get a custom corbel profile beyond the five stock styles?

Yes — custom corbel shapes can be produced on request. Speak to your technical sales representative about lead times for a bespoke profile.

Are Uni-Shape Corbels load-bearing?

Uni-Shape architectural mouldings, including Corbels, are decorative facade elements rather than structural components. Confirm specific load requirements with your technical sales representative before specifying.
