Soffits in Essex

Soffits in Essex

Many ask what soffits are and what they do, the soffit board runs beneath the fascia board, this will provide your property with ventilation inside your roof which will help with preventing dampness and condensation, this will allow air to freely circulate around your house. It will also help to protect your property from the elements. Having high-quality soffits can link the gap between the roof edge and the siding. Soffits can come in a selection of colours that will fantastically complement your fascia boards and give your roofline an aesthetically pleasing finish and require very little maintenance.

About Soffits

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.

If properties did not have soffits, not only do they add an attractive appeal to your property, but they also protect your property from the elements. If the protection to your property was not there, you would be at risk of rotting and mould into your property. Both can cause unnecessary repair bills.
