  A class of five-dimensional warped solutions is presented. The geometry is
everywhere regular and tends to five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space for large
absolute values of the bulk coordinate. The physical features of the solutions
change depending on the value of an integer parameter. In particular, a set of
solutions describes generalized gravitating kinks where the scalar field
interpolates between two different minima of the potential. The other category
of solutions describes instead gravitating defects where the scalar profile is
always finite and reaches the same constant asymptote both for positive and
negative values of the bulk coordinate. In this sense the profiles are
non-topological. The physical features of the zero modes are discussed.
