The word rosewood conjures up images of fine furniture with swirling grain and deep hues of mahogany brown. Our range of rosewood capping boards provides a luxurious woodgrain finish to fascias and window boards by combining both elegance and style. Rosewood has taken over from mahogany in terms of popularity as the woodgrain is far more pronounced - mahogany appears somewhat "stripey" in comparison as it lacks the detailed grain effect.
We particularly like these capping boards when they are combined with our brown ogee guttering - giving all the maintenance benefits of modern materials whilst adding a more traditional appearance to the eaves.
Many people use the terms mahogany and rosewood interchangeably to describe the same colour of fascias, However, they are actually two separate, albeit similar colours.
Whilst both are dark wood options, mahogany is more of a natural warm brown colour whereas rosewood is a bit darker but has reddish and dark purple streaks, and the woodgrain pattern is more defined and pronounced.
Whilst it is inevitable that all exterior parts of a property will be effected by weathering over time, including colour fading from direct sunlight, our rosewood fascias feature a foil layer that is UV stable, which is designed to drastically slow down the fading and discolouration.
Rosewood fascias are a great choice for properties where maintaining a traditional appearance is important; they are more popular on country homes and cottages as well as barn conversions or any property with a lot of existing timber features.
All of our rosewood fascia and soffit boards hold a 10-year manufacturers guarantee but will often far exceed their warranty if installed and maintained correctly.
