Rafter tails extend beyond the roofline to create a distinctive architectural detail while supporting the character and proportion of the overall design. From traditional profiles to clean, contemporary forms, ICD crafts each piece to match the architectural intent of each project, combining precision millwork with structural considerations and long-term exterior performance.
Built around your needs
- ICD has the ability to incorporate steel into the design to fit project needs (As show in the gif above).
- We match the geometry of the roof line so the rafter tail can fit nicely against the bottom of the roof (see blueprint below left).
- Our team engineers each corner rafter tail for precise alignment with the surrounding parts, maintaining a clean, consistent profile across the structure (see image below right).
- ICD can review your design and make suggestions to optimize value engineering as well as streamline the manufacturing of the rafter tail.
How custom can we Get?
In combination with CNC technology as well as good old fashion craftmenship ICD is capable of matching historic profiles, as well as creating custom pieces as simple as 45 degree cuts, to a complete ornate design.
Custom Finish options
With 67 years of experience, we have worked with nearly every species and finish combo imaginable. We know that the right finish is what brings a rafter tail to life – highlighting grain, enhancing character, and ensuring long-term performance.
