Fascia boards can help to make your home look neat, tidy and ‘complete’. However, having good quality fascias doesn’t just help to make your house look good; it also ensures your roof and walls are protected from leaks and damage caused by dampness. Unfortunately, when fascia boards become worn and mouldy, they become ineffective and unattractive and so will need to be replaced. However, purchasing replacement fascia boards can sometimes be a little daunting as there are several different materials available for you to choose from, each with their own relative pros and cons:
Wood
Wood is a lovely traditional material and wooden fascia boards are most often found in character homes from a certain period. Although they are very attractive, wooden fascias need to be cleaned and painted quite regularly to ensure they don’t dry out, split or rot.
Aluminium
Aluminium fascia boards are most frequently found in mid-20th century homes. Aluminium fascia boards are still a popular choice for many homeowners as they do not rust, can be easily moulded to fit any shape, do not require painting and are easy to replace.
UPVC
UPVC fascia boards are becoming increasingly popular due to the fact they are durable yet inexpensive. UPVC fascia can be easily cleaned with soap and water and, like aluminium, they never need to be painted.
