Cresting, in architecture, is ornamentation attached to the ridge of a roof, cornice, coping or parapet, usually made of a metal such as iron or copper. Cresting is associated with Second Empire architecture, where such decoration stands out against the sharp lines of the mansard roof. It became popular in the late 19th century, with mass-produced sheet metal cresting patterns available by the 1890s.

  • Een vorstkam (ook: dakkam of crête) is een sierelement, meestal uitgevoerd in natuursteen of (sier-)smeedijzer, op de nok (dakvorst) van een dak. De vorstkam heeft geen expliciete functie, maar werd vooral gebruikt om rijkdom ten toon te spreiden bij herenhuizen en dergelijke. Ook gotische en neogotische kerken werden vaak voorzien van vorstkammen. Vanaf de jaren '90 van de 19e eeuw kwamen industrieel vervaardigde metalen vorstkamelementen in diverse patronen ter beschikking, en daardoor nam het gebruik van vorstkammen aanzienlijk toe. (nl)

  • Cresting, in architecture, is ornamentation attached to the ridge of a roof, cornice, coping or parapet, usually made of a metal such as iron or copper. Cresting is associated with Second Empire architecture, where such decoration stands out against the sharp lines of the mansard roof. It became popular in the late 19th century, with mass-produced sheet metal cresting patterns available by the 1890s. Cresting is typically attached to the roof by bolts, and is often installed during construction of the roof, with sealants applied to the roof directly covering the bolts to prevent wear in these areas.
