Aluminium Fascia & Soffit

What are aluminium fascia and soffit systems?

Aluminium fascia and soffit systems are protective coverings for the roofline, designed to create a neat, modern finish while shielding the roof structure and eaves from the elements. The fascia covers the edge of the roof where gutters are fixed, while the soffit closes the gap between the roof edge and the wall, preventing moisture and pests from entering.

How thick are aluminium fascia and soffit profiles?

Both Skyline and Evoke aluminium fascia and soffit systems are manufactured from 2mm thick aluminium. This makes them strong, durable, yet lightweight. They act as coverings rather than structural components, unlike some composite aluminium boards, and are designed to deliver long-lasting protection and a clean architectural finish.

How long does aluminium fascia last?

Powder-coated aluminium fascia can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance. It won't warp, crack, or fade like UPVC, making it a cost-effective and durable choice for both modern and traditional buildings.

Can I order bespoke aluminium fascia and soffit sizes or non-standard angles to fit my roof detail?

Yes, aluminium fascia and soffits can be custom-fabricated to match your exact roofline dimensions or specific design requirements, including non-standard angles. At Gutter Centre, we offer bespoke design and colour options to ensure a perfect fit and finish for every project.

What is the difference between fascia and soffit?

The fascia is the vertical board that runs along the roof edge and supports the guttering system, while the soffit is the horizontal panel that covers the underside of the eaves. Together, they provide a clean, sealed edge to the roofline and protect the structure from moisture and debris.

Why buy aluminium fascia and soffit over UPVC plastic boards?

Aluminium fascia and soffits offer several advantages over UPVC:

Durability: Aluminium won't warp, crack, or discolour over time.

Appearance: Provides a sleek, architectural finish available in any RAL colour.

Sustainability: 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly.

Longevity: Longer lifespan and lower maintenance requirements.

Systems from brands like Skyline and Evoke combine long-term performance with contemporary style, making them an ideal upgrade from plastic alternatives.

How many colours can you buy aluminium fascia and soffit in?

Aluminium fascia and soffit systems are available in various powder-coated RAL colours, allowing you to match or contrast with your building's design. Popular options include black, white, anthracite grey (RAL 7016), and bespoke architectural shades.

Can aluminium fascia and soffit be secret fixed with no visible fixings?

Yes, secret-fix aluminium fascia and soffit systems are designed to conceal all fixings for a clean, modern appearance. Both Skyline and Evoke offer concealed fixing options that ensure strength, stability, and a flawless finish.

Are aluminium fascia and soffit systems suitable for all types of properties?

Yes, aluminium fascia and soffits are suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Their versatile design complements both modern and traditional properties, providing a durable and visually appealing roofline solution.

What's the difference between an aluminium fascia and soffit covering and a composite aluminium board?

An aluminium fascia and soffit covering is a 2mm aluminium profile used to protect and finish the roof edge, but it's non-structural. In contrast, composite aluminium boards combine aluminium with other materials to form thicker, structural panels. Aluminium coverings are lighter, easier to install, and ideal for architectural detailing.

How are aluminium fascia and soffit systems installed?

Aluminium fascia and soffit systems are typically mechanically fixed to the roof structure using brackets or secret-fix systems, depending on the design. Joints are sealed and aligned to create a continuous, watertight finish.

What colour options are available for aluminium fascia and soffit systems?

Gutter Centre offers aluminium fascia and soffit systems in a wide range of powder-coated colours, from subtle tones to bold architectural finishes. Standard colours include black, white, and anthracite grey, with bespoke RAL finishes also available to complement any building design.
