When we think of our property’s exterior, the last parts we probably consider are the less noticeable sections of the roofing system. The fascia, soffit and guttering systems may not be well known but they provide an essential service that protects any building from the roof right down to the foundations.
Faron Home Improvements Ltd offers a complete fascia repairs and replacements service to domestic and commercial clients in East Grinstead, Horsham, Copthorne and the surrounding areas. We also supply and install a range of uPVC windows and bespoke conservatories and bifold doors.
In the context of building construction and architecture, a roof fascia, often simply referred to as “fascia,” is an important architectural component of a roof assembly. It is a long, straight board or panel that runs horizontally along the edge of the roof, typically mounted to the ends of the roof rafters or trusses.
Fascias are typically made from various materials, including wood, metal (such as aluminum or steel), UPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), or composite materials. Wood fascias are traditional but may require more maintenance due to susceptibility to rot and decay over time. Metal and UPVC fascias are often chosen for their durability and low maintenance.
In addition to fascias, a roof assembly may include soffits, which are located underneath the eaves and cover the overhanging space between the edge of the roof and the exterior walls. Soffits are essential for providing ventilation to the roof space and protecting the rafters or trusses from the elements.
Overall, the roof fascia is an integral part of the roofing system that adds both functional and aesthetic value to the building, ensuring proper water management and protecting the roof and underlying structure from potential damage.
Fascias provide a smooth and finished appearance to the roof, giving it a clean and cohesive look.
Fascias create a mounting surface for gutters, allowing rainwater to be directed away from the roof and the building’s foundation.
Fascias protect the exposed edges of the roof and the underlying roofing materials from weather elements such as wind, rain, and snow.
In some roof designs, fascias can have ventilation features to allow air circulation in the roof eaves, helping to regulate attic temperatures and prevent moisture buildup.
Did you know…you can get your fascia in 8 different colours?
The cost of replacing fascia and other roofline fittings will depend on the length of your roofline – the actual length of fascia, gutters or soffits.
