Fascia might be an unfamiliar term, but it plays an integral role in your roofing. This board covers the rafters and trusses and is located vertically at the end of your roof, where your gutters attach. Many homeowners make the mistake of selecting wood fascia, which can be easily damaged by the elements. Here, the experts at Springer Roofing in Kearney, NE, share several durable options to consider for your fascia if you’re building a new home or planning a roofing renovation.

3 Durable Fascia Options

1. Aluminum

Aluminum is ideal for covering any existing wood that’s showing signs of wear. It’s easily weatherproof and extremely malleable, making it ideal if you have curves or angular bends in your roof edges. While installation costs a bit more, it’s relatively affordable, making it a cost-effective solution to your problems.

2. Composite

Composite fascia is an effective alternative to wood. It typically includes sawdust and recycled chips, combined in resin, making it eco-friendly and resistant to rot. It’s one of the most durable materials but also one of the more expensive. Weigh out your budget carefully when considering this option because it’s a long-term investment, but it might not be immediately feasible for your roofing.

3. Vinyl

Vinyl works just as well as fascia board and has been a popular material for home siding for years. On a basic level, it matches your existing siding and is cost-effective; more importantly, however, it’s durable. With proper care, it can stand up to the elements for 40 years, ensuring important parts of your roofing are protected for decades.
