Fascias & Soffits Material Recommendations

Wood is the traditional material used for roofing materials such as fascias and soffits, and it is still very popular in 2019. People tend to like the natural and organic appearance of the material, and the fact that you can change the colour by painting or staining it, if you want to.

Maintenance is the most common factor mentioned when discussing the relative benefits of wooden and PVCue roofing materials. While you can change the colour of your wooden fascias and soffits, it is a constant battle to ensure they retain the same appearance. It can be expensive and time-consuming to maintain your wooden fascias and soffits, and even if you completely replace them rather than keep painting or repairing them, it doesn’t mean you won’t have to replace them again in a few years’ time.

Long term benefits of PVCue roofing materials

With the PVCue fascias and soffits supplied by Northern Roofline, the appearance is guaranteed to be maintained, and may just need a wipe down with warm, soapy water every couple of years. But the colour appearance will be maintained, and the stability of the material won’t be affected by exposure to the weather.

Wooden roof materials are prone to expansion or cracking when exposed to wet weather, and this can cause cracks that are subsequently open to the ingress of both water and insects. Not only that, this damage and deterioration is often small and difficult to detect, and hence the damage can be terminal long before you even know about it. And of course, wood is flammable too.

If you fit PVCue fascias and soffits supplied by Northern Roofline, it is expected that you won’t need to replace them again for a good amount of time, with our white products guaranteed for up to 35 years! Furthermore, you don’t need to get up a ladder and paint them or even inspect them. The PVCue material is watertight and durable and won’t deteriorate.
