Capitals are the terminal points in the pilasters. Capitals can either support or enclose the fascia board that runs the full width of the shopfront. Where the fascia board runs above, scrolled brackets can also be used as a decorative terminus.

Capitals can follow traditional architectural forms such as Ionic or Doric styles, particularly on Georgian or early Victorian shopfronts, or they can be bespoke and more decorative as in later Victorian and Edwardian frontages.
