Soffits are most commonly used in the main roofing area but can also be installed under porches. There are a variety of materials that can be used to make soffits, cement, uPVC, steel and wood. uPVC is usually the superior material to use, being easy to maintain and notably incredibly resilient, meaning you will avoid any unnecessary rotting or warping. uPVC soffits can withstand the most severe weather conditions and will not require any additional re-painting unlike soffits made from wooden materials, the fantastic benefit of uPVC is it holds similar characteristics to any other materials.
