How to set out the angle of concrete cornice

Install the horn beam on the old horn beam, nail the rafters on the horn beam, then put the lookout plate and cover it with ceramic parts.

The wing angle of official buildings in Qing Dynasty generally rose by four diameters from the right rafter epithelium to the last rafter epithelium.

Cornice angle

Cornice is a traditional form of eaves in China, which means the eaves, especially the eaves in the corner, rise upwards. For example, cornices are often used in the roof corners of pavilions, palaces, temples and other buildings. They are like birds spreading their wings and are light and lively, so they are often called cornices. The cornice is one of the important manifestations of China's architectural national style. Through this special treatment and creation on the eaves, it not only expands the lighting surface, but also increases the upward movement of the building.
