The purpose of a fascias are to protect and seal the roof, and the interior of your home/property from exposure to the elements. They are also provide support for the roof tiles at the eaves level, and to provide support for the guttering.
Fascias also serve a cosmetic purpose, and are much nicer to look at than exposed rafters.
Modern options come in a range of styles and colours, bargeboards can be highly decorative and even flat fascias have options with designs carved and grooved into them.
The soffit boards are generally attached to the fascias and the exterior wall. Most but not all properties have soffits.
We install the soffits at the same time as the fascias and if the gutters need updating, then it would be the best time to upgrade them.
The soffit can be ventilated to allow the flow of air into the roof area. Alternatively, ventilation can be provided over the top of the fascia board. Many people prefer the latter solution these days. Without adequate ventilation, condensation will form in the roof void increasing the risk of timber decay.
The traditional wooden soffits will only last for so long due to the weather and wear and tear. Painting is one way of helping to prolong the life of the wood, however, not an ideal job to do. Replacing the wood is another prospect but to avoid the continuing renewal costs the answer would be to have the new upvc soffits installed.
Upvc soffits require minimum maintenance and are therefore, more cost effective.
They are weatherproof, waterproof, durable, and can withstand our changeable weather. They are the no fuss options.
UPVC fascias and soffits bring new meaning to the term ‘low maintenance’.
The colour extends throughout the entire depth of the material, so they will not fade and do not require painting or repainting.
They are tough on impact, and will not rust, crack, warp or rot.
UPVC fascias & soffits are a particular favourite in areas with harsh weather conditions, because they are water and wind resistant. Furthermore, they are fire, insect, and vermin resistant.
Finally, uPVC fascias and soffits are lightweight and highly cost effective.
UPVC fascias and soffits are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and are available in a choice of colour, from the traditional and popular white products to varieties of brown, mahogany, and black.
