Different Types Of Fascia Board
We offer a few different types of fascia board, including ogee fascia board, bull nosed fascia board and flat fascia board. The ogee fascia board comes with a slight grooved effect and it is becoming more popular with homeowners, perhaps due to the unique finish it provides that suits new or older properties.

They equally suit new buildings too as they add a contemporary feel.
All these fascia boards come in many different colours, including anthracite grey, agate grey, chartwell green, oak, Irish oak, white, white ash, cream, black, black ash and rosewood. We have created a guide to help you choose your colours here.
Types And Colours Of Soffits
There are also several types of soffits for your home and they have different qualities. Solid soffit boards are the most common type, offering easy installation and a lip that the fascia return leg can be placed upon. Another type is the pre-vented soffit, which is a solid soffit board with ventilation holes in order to help with air flow. This keeps the roofline system in great condition so these are always a good choice. The final type is the hollow soffit board, which is cheaper to solid soffit board and they are easy to install.
