When selling one’s property, the fascia board – the panel immediately below the roof – is often missed off the list of home improvements necessary to attract potential buyers. A worn or improperly attached fascia can however lead to long-term damage to a property. In addition, worn, damaged, or even incongruous-looking fascias can undermine a property’s aesthetic appeal.
Fascias are designed to protect that vulnerable part of the property where the brickwork meets the edge of the roof. If a fascia is defective this can lead to the property being exposed to a whole range of destructive elements such as frost, water, and intense heat. In the long-term such exposure will not only lead to severe damage to the exterior of the property, but can also encourage problems such as the spread of damp-induced rot in the property’s interior. Proper drainage pipes should also be considered.
Not only, however, will inferior fascias deter potential buyers worried about unnecessary maintenance and repair costs; a poor quality fascia will also make the whole property appear unsightly. In the same way that a shop’s uPVC fascia boards can attract or discourage potential customers from stepping in, so too can the fascia board on a domestic property help to entice or repel potential buyers.
For this reason it is important when arranging for a fascia board to be fitted that a lot of thought is given to both its style and its colour.
At Bliby plastics we can demonstrate how choosing plastic fascias can provide the most secure, long-term protection for your property, and the widest range of wood grain-effect colours and styles.
