Leicestershire weather
Wooden fascias run the risk of rot and decay. That's why UPVC fascias are better since they prevent the build up of moisture in the roof space. At Supreme Home Improvements, we are UPVC specialists. Our team has over 20 years of experience installing UPVC soffits and gutters. Based in Ibstock, near Leicester, we serve across Leicestershire.

What are Fascias?
The box endThe fascia board is the one mounted at the point where the roof meets the outer walls of the house and is often called the ROOFLINE. However most people refer to it by the name of the main board that carries the gutter – the fascia or fascias.Unfortunately, not many people are familiar with these terms, so we thought you might appreciate a few words of explanation.The descriptions uPVC, PVCu and PVCue are often used to describe PVC fascias, soffits and bargeboards. You probably know what PVC means. The "u" stands for "unplasticised", meaning that it isn't a pliable PVC like some kids toys etc, and the "e" stands for "expanded". Expanded or foamed PVC produces a light, strong board that is thicker than an equivalent rigid PVC board.
Fascia
The fascia board is the long, straight board that runs along the lower edge of the roof. The fascia is fixed directly to the lower ends of the roof trusses and usually does all the work of supporting the lower edge of the bottom row of tiles. The fascia board also carries all the guttering.
This is no mean feat, especially when it is raining hard. In a downpour the roof of a 3-bed semi could be washing several gallons of water per second into its gutters.
BargeboardThis is the board that is used on the gable end of a house. The condition of the bargeboard can often make or break the look of a house, and over the years it has evolved into some very attractive shapes.
SoffitThe soffit board is tucked away under the fascia board. It is usually the board that you see most of from street level. The soffit can be ventilated to allow the flow of air into the roof area. Alternatively, ventilation can be provided over the top of the fascia board. Many people prefer the latter solution these days. Without adequate ventilation, condensation will form in the roof void increasing the risk of timber decay.
BoxendThe Box End is a work of art, accommodating as it does the many different angles, planes and heights of the fascia, soffit and bargeboard at each corner of the house where there is a gable end.

Steve and his team turned up a day early to the job after letting us know they could get us in earlier. They did a good job and cleaned up after them selves. We had a new front door fitted and they even managed to make good job out of a challenging fit. Would recommend to anyone and looking forward to booking in for new facias and soffitts in the future. Thank you.
UPVC fascias and soffits help avoid water penetration in your roof.
