What is a soffit board?

Soffit boards are long horizontal boards that fit under the roofline, perpendicular to the wall. Along with fascia boards or cover boards, soffit boards give the roofline a completely weatherproof seal.

Is UPVC suitable for soffit boards?

Because of its high durability and easy to maintain nature, UPVC is a great choice of material for soffit boards.

Which do I install first – fascia or soffit?

You should first install fascia or capping boards and then soffit after that, and finally gutters!

Is soffit waterproof?

UPVC soffit boards are completely waterproof, meaning that no moisture can penetrate the core of the boards – this prevents the boards from rotting, splitting, or warping over time.

Black Ash Woodgrain Vented Soffit Boards

Soffit is the name given to the board that runs horizontally from the back edge of the bottom of the fascia board to the top of the wall, closing off the roof space at the eaves. Soffit Boards can be plain or vented, and there is also a cost-effective hollow version which has a tongued and grooved effect to mimic timber cladding. Soffit is non load-bearing.

With a classic Black Ash finish, this range of UPVC Soffit comes complete with pre-cut ventilation slots, and is commonly used in projects where our range of Black Ash Fascia has been specified. Vented Soffit is suitable for use with roofs that have a 30° pitch and over and provide a 10mm wide air gap, complying with UK building regulations. We also stock Vented Soffits in white, golden oak and rosewood colours.

Roof ventilation can be achieved in a number of different ways in modern building materials. Vented Soffit Boards are a popular option, as is Over Fascia Vent.
