Soffit & Fascia
Soffits are the aluminum panels on the
underside of the roof line. Vented soffits are part of the overall ventilation system and designed to
draw fresh, cool, outside air into the attic so the roof can breathe. It’s
imperative that you have an adequate number of vented soffit panels surrounding
your home, and that there are no blockages of these panels in the attic that would prevent air from entering the space.
Fascia is commonly referred to
two components – the fascia board (the front-facing wood structure directly
beneath the roof line), which offers structural protection for the home, and the fascia trim, which is the
aluminum cladding that covers the fascia board and protects the wood.
