Fascias play a crucial part in keeping your home dry and pest-free, as well as improving the aesthetics of your home. A fascia is traditionally a softwood board that is mounted to the exposed edges of your rafters, but this has since been replaced with high-quality UPVC that is hardwearing, maintenance-free and resistant to moisture.
A fascia board’s purpose is to seal the roof and protect the interior of your home from the weather, as well as support tiles at eaves level and to provide a fastening point for guttering.
Guttering is an important component for the health and safety of your home. Guttering is a system of open pipes attached to the fascia board that collects and discharges rainfall from the roof into the downpipes. All gutters are levelled at RW Roofing to ensure they have the correct fall, allowing rainwater to flow in the right direction. Rainwater could seep into the foundations of your home and cause severe structural damage if you don’t have effective guttering. Your guttering’s importance should never be under estimated.
