Designed for Just About Every Roofline Configuration Imaginable
Rafter tails define the character of a roofline more than almost any other exterior element. Diamond Resin Products designs and manufactures rafter tails for just about every configuration imaginable, with 31 profiles currently in the catalog spanning woodgrain and sand texture families. Woodgrain profiles deliver the exposed-timber aesthetic that suits Craftsman, Coastal, Mediterranean, and rustic architectural styles, while sand-textured options provide a softer, more subtle finish for Transitional and Contemporary facades. Each rafter tail is produced from high-density polyurethane at the company's Fort Myers, Florida manufacturing facility and ships ready for installation.

Curb Appeal That Starts at the Roofline
The roofline is one of the first things people notice when they approach a home or commercial building, and rafter tails play a major role in shaping that first impression. They extend beyond the fascia to create the visual depth and shadow lines that give a roof its finished, architectural look. Diamond Resin Products rafter tails are available in a wide variety of cut profiles, from simple angled and curved tail cuts to more ornate scrolled and notched designs. This range of options allows architects and builders to match the rafter tail detail to the overall architectural language of the project, whether that calls for a clean, understated profile or a bold, decorative statement.

Lightweight, Weather-Resistant, and Maintenance-Free
Traditional wood rafter tails sit in one of the most exposed positions on a building, where they take the full force of sun, rain, and humidity. Over time, solid wood rafter tails split, warp, rot, and attract insects, leading to costly replacements. Diamond Resin Products rafter tails are manufactured from closed-cell, monolithic polyurethane that is impervious to moisture and resistant to insect damage and weather exposure. The material holds its shape and detail permanently with no ongoing maintenance. Rafter tails can be primed or painted with high-quality latex paint and accept faux finishes for a custom stained or aged wood appearance. Installation is handled with the same adhesive and tools used across the full Diamond Resin Products line, and the lightweight material makes it easy to work at roofline heights without heavy equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many rafter tail profiles does Diamond Resin Products manufacture?
The current catalog includes 31 rafter tail profiles across woodgrain and sand texture families. Custom profiles can also be designed and manufactured through the in-house design department.
What architectural styles pair well with decorative rafter tails?
Rafter tails complement a wide range of styles including Craftsman, Coastal, Mediterranean, Traditional, Rustic, Transitional, and Contemporary. The variety of cut profiles in the catalog allows the rafter tail design to be matched to the specific architectural language of the project.
How are rafter tails installed?
Rafter tails install using the same adhesive and standard carpentry tools used across the full Diamond Resin Products line. The lightweight polyurethane material makes them easy to handle and position at roofline heights without heavy equipment or specialized hardware.
Why do polyurethane rafter tails last longer than wood in exterior applications?
Wood rafter tails sit in one of the most exposed positions on a building and are subject to constant sun, rain, and humidity. Over time, this leads to splitting, warping, rot, and insect damage. Polyurethane is a closed-cell, monolithic material that is impervious to moisture and does not degrade from weather or insect exposure, so it maintains its appearance without replacement or repair.
Can rafter tails be painted to match an existing roofline finish?
Yes. All rafter tails can be primed and painted with high-quality latex paint. The textured surfaces also accept faux finishes, allowing painters to create stained, weathered, or aged wood appearances that blend with existing fascia, soffit, and trim materials.
