What is Roofline?
When talking about your property’s roofline, we are referring to three essential elements: fascias, soffits, and guttering. These three components work together to protect your home, increase its aesthetic appeal, and ensure adequate, proper water drainage. This article will talk you through what roofline is and how it can improve your property’s structure. A well-maintained roofline not only prevents costly damage from damp and rot but also contributes to the long-term health of your roof and walls. Understanding its role is key to making informed decisions about maintenance, repairs, or upgrades.
What are Fascias?
Fascias are installed along the lower edge of your roof rafters, fascias support guttering and protect the timber ends from moisture, rot, and exposure to weather conditions. Fascias are typically made from uPVC, aluminium, or timber. At Brackenwood, we offer uPVC fascias to support your guttering system as well as the bottom row of tiles. UPVC fascias are also incredibly aesthetic and complement your home.
What are Soffits?
Soffits are the boards located under the soffit area (the underside of the overhang), which help ventilate the roof and protect against dampness and pests. These boards are made to match your fascias so that they suit the rest of the home to offer a cohesive look. UPVC Soffits are made to increase the ventilation throughout the property and prevent dampness.
What is Guttering?
Guttering is essential for channeling rainwater away from your roof and home structure. When correctly installed by a professional company such as Brackenwood, it mitigates water damage to walls and foundations. Guttering is important for drainage in order to preserve the property and control rainwater flow.
