Bands

Banding with a profile is being added to this entranceway tower. 

The banding below is a simple one step band, but it brings the different elements of the home together.

As you can see, just about any profile can be used as a band. Size is usually the criteria. Not too big to overpower, and not too small to go unnoticed.

Color seems to be a serious consideration. In many cases the bands are the same color as the house. A multi-faceted band such as the fluted band above would work well in that case. The shadows would create form and the highlights would contrast.

On the other hand some folks prefer a dark band and light house, or the reverse. Drive around the neighborhood and check the difference. Color is an important consideration when choosing bands.
