Take a minute to step outside your home and observe the area between your roofline and siding. You are most likely looking at your soffit & fascia. These two architectural features are pretty easy to ignore because they fit so well into your roof’s overall look. And yet, there’s more to them than just fitting in.
So, what are the benefits of installing soffit & fascia under your roof?
- Protection against the elements. It’s not just your roof that protects you against wind and rain. Your soffit seals off the underside of your eaves, keeping the elements out of your attic. On the other hand, the fascia covers the ends of the roof rafters, thus providing additional protection against water or wind damage.
- Moisture protection. Soffit & fascia help improve ventilation in your attic. Your soffit, in particular, has small holes that enable air circulation. These keep humidity our of your attic. Furthermore, your fascia takes the hit by preventing water from seeping into your home’s rafters, thus preventing extensive rot and structural damage.
- Aesthetic value. Your soffit & fascia give your home’s exterior a smoother, cleaner finish. They typically come in a range of colors, materials, and styles, allowing you to customize your home’s exterior further.
