We manufacture Aluminium fascias for individual product, project or as part of a combined system – uniquely designed, specified and fabricated for your specific project needs.
Aluminium fascias can act as a cladding, wrapped around a concealed gutter or act as a stand-alone fascia incorporating an external gutter.
Why Aluminium fascias?
While Aluminium metal offers high water and air resistance. The additional corrosion resistant qualities make Aluminium fascias incredibly low maintenance with a long lifespan. Unlike other materials, swelling, cracking, and rotting is simply not possible with Aluminium fascias.
Cost of Aluminium fascias
Aluminum fascia and soffit panels offer a budget-friendly solution, particularly over the long haul, requiring minimal upkeep and boasting superior durability compared to alternative materials. Tailored dimensions and profiles are also at your disposal upon request. Feel free to reach out to us for pricing details. We guarantee you the best pricing in the industry for Aluminium fascias.
Painting Aluminum Fascia
Select a high-quality paint specifically formulated for aluminum fascia. Choose a 100% acrylic paint without ammonia, ensuring compatibility with your primer and enamel. Opt for a variant with UV protection to enhance paint longevity and minimize sun-induced damage to your gutters.
To safeguard surrounding surfaces during soffit and fascia painting, consider using drop cloths or painter's tape. Apply one or two coats of paint until achieving the desired outcome.
Working With Aluminum Fascia
When dealing with Aluminum Fascia or any trim profile with an exposed surface exceeding 8 inches, enhance its rigidity by incorporating a rib. Begin by orienting the show side upward and executing an initial 30-degree bend. Rotate the piece, now with the show side facing downward, and introduce another 30-degree angle. Reverse the orientation once more, folding it back by approximately 30 degrees to align the fascia's face in a straight configuration. It's worth noting that the cumulative angle of 30 degrees thrice may not equate to 180 degrees due to the shifting reference point with each bend.
Aluminum fascia Vs Wood Fascia
The drawbacks associated with Wood Fascia lead numerous property owners to explore Aluminum Fascia as a viable alternative. Opting for aluminum fascia and soffit proves advantageous due to its lightweight nature and minimal maintenance requirements. High-quality aluminum materials resist corrosion, fading, and cracking, even when subjected to harsh weather conditions.
Cutting aluminum fascia lengthwise
To cut aluminum fascia lengthwise, a straightforward method involves scoring the panel with a scoring knife and then bending the panel back and forth until the metal breaks along the scored line. It's important to wear goggles, especially when cross-cutting with a power saw, to ensure safety during the cutting process. This technique allows for a clean and controlled cut along the desired length of the aluminum fascia.
Cleaning And Maintenence of Aluminium fascia
Cleaning Aluminium Fascis is simple and starightforward. A soft bristle brush is all that's required for regular cleaning. For more stubborn dirt on soffits and fascia, you can utilize a mixture of water and common household detergent with the soft bristle brush, effectively removing any pollutants without causing harm to the surface.
No-Nails Approach to Aluminum Fascia
You should always use a "nail-less" installation technique for installing Aluminium Fascia. This involves securing F-channel to the bottom edge of the subfascia and utility trim beneath the drip edge, ensuring a secure hold on the fascia material while allowing flexibility for expansion and contraction with temperature changes (see Figure 2).
Create locking tabs on the top edge of preformed fascia using a snap-lock punch, and then insert the fascia into the utility trim. These tabs serve to prevent the fascia from dislodging while still permitting unrestricted movement. Many contractors opt to shape their fascia on-site using painted aluminum coil stock, which is thinner than factory fascia (.019 vs. .024 inch thick). In such cases, it is essential to form a continuous locking hem on the top edge and insert it into the utility trim.
To prevent the downward movement of rake fascia, slot punch the bottom edge of the fascia and secure it in place with three or four aluminum trim nails driven into the subfascia. These slots enable longitudinal expansion and contraction of the fascia without causing buckling.
It is crucial to avoid having aluminum fascia make sharp turns at corners. Instead, incorporate small inserts at all inside and outside corners, breaking the fascia at these points. These inserts serve as a backdrop, concealing the wood subfascia and maintaining a seamless appearance at corner joints.
Installing Aluminum fascia to prevent it from being wavy
For optimal installation of aluminum fascia, especially in darker colors, it is crucial to conduct the installation on a hot day with direct sunlight on the fascia. This precaution ensures that the fascia has expanded to its maximum extent before being installed. The goal is to avoid any limitations on expansion post-installation, as restricted expansion is a common cause of waviness in the fascia.
Can you staple aluminum fascia?
Yes, aluminum fascia can be secured using staples. According to the instructions you provided, you can secure the aluminum soffit panels to the bottom of the fascia board using either 1-inch aluminum trim nails or staples. The key is to use these fasteners to ensure a secure and flush installation of the panels. Always follow the specific guidelines and recommendations provided by the manufacturer for the best results and to maintain the structural integrity of the installation.
