Soffits & Fascias in Isle Of Barra


Fascias and soffits are an important aspect of the majority of guttering systems. Not only do they offer support for the guttering itself, they enhance the appearance of your building by producing a clean and neat finish to the roofline. Fascias or fascia boards are horizontal planks that sit on the edge of the rafters of your roof, closing the end of the roof and creating the support that the guttering is fastened to. Soffits run under the fascia boards, closing the gap and protecting the underside of the rafter ends. Soffits are typically ventilated to enable the roofing timbers to breathe and also to avoid any moisture buildup. Box ends are utilised where the horizontal fascia meets the diagonal barge board that runs up the edge of the roof profile, supplying a neat finish to an otherwise ugly join.

 

Fascias and soffits are generally constructed from either wood or UPVC. Timber fascias and soffits are standard on older properties and continue to be popular. However, wooden fascias and soffits can rot over time and expose the rest of the guttering to issues or leaks. Recently, UPVC fascias and soffits have been increasingly popular as they offer a robust substitute that will not rot. UPVC fascias and soffits are available in numerous colours to complement any building, although white is very fashionable as it offers a traditional aesthetic. Fascias are additionally available in ogee moulded designs, where feature grooves are incorporated. These can have an impressive effect.
