Protect and enhance your property
Fascia are horizontal panels which run along the roof edge, supporting the bottom tiles and the guttering is secured to this. Soffits are the boards installed underneath the fascia which protect the roofline and improve ventilation.
Fascia and soffits are vital in protecting your roof and walls from water, and improving ventilation – reducing mould and rotting issues. Guttering collects rainwater and channels it into your homes drainage system, preventing water damage, erosion and flooding around your property.
Benefits of Cladek fascias, soffits and guttering
Protection Against water Damage:
- Fascia: The fascia is the horizontal board running along the edge of the roof, supporting the guttering system and protecting the rood from water damage. By ensuring proper drainage, the fascia prevents water from getting under the roof and causing leaks or rotting.
- Guttering: Gutters collect and direct rain water away from the building. Without a proper guttering system, water can accumulate around the foundation, leasing to erosion, flooding and even foundation damage.
