Soffit and Fascia
When it comes to working in your home, it is quite convenient when you hire a roofing contractor to take care of all the work for you. Even then, it is quite important for you to know more about your roof and the different components that are included in it. This is because so that in cases of emergency, you will be able to contribute to some extent in keeping the damage under control. In addition, by looking at all these symptoms, you will also be able to determine if you would need to repair your roof or get an entirely new one.
When it comes to making a decision about some of the most important parts of the roof, there are two sections which tend to get left out of the conversation, but are just as important. These are Soffit and Fascia. These are two words which many homeowners would be listening to for the first time in their life. Even though it might come as quite a shock, there is nothing to worry about here. This is because as you read on below, you will be able to find out more details about these two sections.

The SoffitThe first thing which we will be discussing is Soffit. This is a term which is derived from the Latin word which means “to fix underneath” and from the French word which means “formed as a ceiling.” In other words, it refers to the exposed surface which can be found below the overhanging section of a roof’s eave.
One of the main functions of the Soffit being included in a roof is because it contributes towards the ventilation of the attic. This is because the attic is usually that section of a house which is built below the ground level. In that case, it often happens that it is that room which is not getting the proper amount of ventilation for which the entire room can end up being damp. But with the help of a Soffit, since it is a plain design with small holes, it allows for sufficient amount of ventilation. Another thing is that majority of the Soffits are made up of vinyl. This is considered to be quite an effective material since it prevents it from degradation which tends to come from moisture and heat exposure. This is also quite important as it is quite common for Soffits to be exposed to moisture due to the weather conditions and unkempt gutters. |
The FasciaFascia is another thing which needs to be considered. The fascia is a vertical finishing edge which can be found to be attached to the ends of the trusses, rafters, or that area in which the gutter is attached to the roof. The most important role of the fascia is to act as a layer between the outdoors and the edge of the roof. Besides its functional role, the fascia also has an aesthetic role to play. This is because it can give the entire roof a very smooth and polished appearance. By blocking the entrance to the home, it can also help the interior of the home and the entire roof.
