The ogee is an S-shaped curve used in molding and trim profiles, with pointed profiles commonly found in Gothic architecture. It can be used for decorative finishes on furniture, walls, windows, and doors, and is often made from wood using special cutters. The profile can be combined with other types of molding or trim to form more complex designs and can be joined together to create double ogive profile mouldings.
An ogee is an S-shaped curve that can be found on many molding and trim profiles. The convex and concave curves on this profile can be equal or unequal in size, depending on the design of the molding. The Ogee molding is very similar to the top profile molding, as both feature an S-shaped design. On an ogee profile, the two ends of the curves point up and down to form a vertical S shape, while the ends of the curve point to the sides on a top profile to form a horizontal S-curve. The pointed profile is commonly associated with Gothic architecture and can be found in both the arches and trim of many Gothic style buildings.
This design dates back to early Arab architecture. The traditional design of the arch in the Arab world is two ogival curves set against each other. One end of the curves rest on the floor to form the base of the arch, while the other ends meet at the top to form a pointed arch.
In modern architecture, this profile is used to create a decorative finish on furniture and walls. Ogee molding can be installed at the joint between a wall and ceiling, or along the base of floorboards. It also acts as a window and door trim and is often found on the glazing bars between adjacent windows. Many installers add ogival moldings to the top or bottom of cabinets and cabinets to create a finished look. This profile can also be used for trimming the exterior walls of a building or other structure.
Ogee molding is often made from wood using special cutters. These bits, used in conjunction with a wood router, make it easy to create smooth, even curves along the entire length of a piece of wood. This molding profile can also be formed using plaster molds or shaped from aluminum or other soft metals. When used on exterior surfaces, this profile can be carved into stone or concrete.
This trim profile can be combined with other types of molding or trim to form more complex designs. It can also be joined together to create double ogive profile mouldings. The radius of the curves can greatly affect the look of the molding, as can its shadow pattern. Very large, deep curves create shadows that add depth and texture to a room, while smaller curves add texture without shadows.
