Introduction to Spandrels


Product Listings | Info | Usage Photos | Previous Page

Spandrels are rows of Balls & Dowels, Spindles, or
Cutwork held between top and bottom rails.

13-3/4'' Traditional Spandrels When our forefathers discovered Spandrels, the porches and parlors of America were forever changed! Streets in every town and village soon displayed charm both pleasant to the eye and uplifting to the spirit.

Shop All Spandrels

Exterior: Porch Spandrels are centered directly below the beam. Classic Spandrels (without fretwork) are most often used for this purpose. Their rows of Spindles or Balls & Dowels enhance porches in a way that is most appealing! Photo at left: 13-3/4" Traditional Spandrels.

Ball & Dowel Spandrels Above Brackets
When the unturned portion at the top of the Posts is long enough, Brackets are often installed beneath Spandrels, as seen at right. Click photo for more views.

"As you can see the spandrel is now installed and attracts many positive comments."   - R. Bélair

Spandrel Brackets with Classic Ball & Dowel Spandrels
When the unturned portion of Porch Posts tops are short, as they are to the left, our Spandrel Brackets usually allow Spandrels to fit next to the Brackets rather than below them. This conserves vertical space in a most pleasing way. Click photo for more views.

Mary Elizabeth Spandrels in Kitchen
Interior: Spandrels also provide great interior decoration. The delicate scrollwork of Mary Elizabeth Fretwork Spandrels in a cased opening and over the sink add unique charm and romance to this kitchen!

Because we handcraft each of your Spandrels to the exact length required, it's super easy to fit openings of this sort. You need only supply accurate measurements (steel measuring tape, please), and we’ll take care of the rest. Click photo to enlarge.

Spandrel in Cased Opening

Above is another cased opening; this one graced by a Jenny Lind Fretwork Spandrel. It does double duty because its beauty is equally available to both rooms; a very cost effective way to decorate this entire area of the home!
