ROOFLINE
(soffit, Fascia’s and guttering)
The component parts of roofline explained
Fascias
Fascia boards are the long, straight boards that run alongside the lower edge of the roof, perfectly concealing and protecting the ends of your roof rafters from British weather. Our strong, impact-resistant fascia’s are made from solid, durable board up to 25mm thick so they can carry the weight of the guttering which is no mean feat, especially in extreme weather conditions. Our fascia ventilation system creates a rainproof joint to protect your roof and walls from water and a bird comb is fitted to keep birds from nesting. The ventilation over fascia also prevents a build-up of condensation and dry rot. Available in either a classic profile, which matches Everest uPVC casement windows or a bullnose style, our fascia’s will give your home an attractive and unified appearance, with no unsightly gaps.
Soffits
The soffit board runs underneath the fascia board, helping to ventilate inside your roof and prevent damp and condensation. It also protects your home from the elements. Our high-quality soffits bridge the gap between siding and roof edge and tidy the underside of the roof overhang. At Everest, we offer a range of made-to-measure uPVC soffit boards in a choice of great colours to perfectly complement our fascia boards, giving your roofline a visually pleasing, clean-edged finish. And because they are made from uPVC, they require very little maintenance, meaning no more climbing ladders.
Bargeboards
Bargeboards are essentially the same as Fascia boards but run up the sloping edge of a roof. Our solid 25mm board provides strength, durability, and also conceals the otherwise exposed end of the timbers or purlins of the roof. They also provide protection from the weather and keeps your roof lining perfectly dry. As with all Everest roofline, our bargeboards are made-to-measure and fitted with a smooth and unified appearance with no unsightly gaps. We also use stainless steel pins and nails to eradicate rust.
Roof guttering and downpipes
Everest guttering and downpipes are an effective, durable rainwater system which protect your home from water damage by safely channelling rainwater away from the foundations of your home, ensuring efficient drainage of your roof. Expertly manufactured from uPVC for a durable, weather-proof finish, we use solid boards up to 25mm thick offering protection from the elements and wider gutter unions to allow for thermal expansion and contraction. All our roofline is rigorously tested to make sure it’s watertight to prevent leaks. We offer square or round downpipes to suit your property and 3 guttering profiles including ogee styling which gives you a more decorative, sculpted finish. There’s also a choice of 3 colours including cast-iron – ideal for traditional homes and contemporary colours perfect for modern properties.
Cladding
uPVC cladding helps shield the front of your house from the weather and can also enhance and refresh the appearance of your home. It provides an attractive, low-maintenance and weather resistant solution for replacing rotten timber cladding, concealing problem areas of brickwork or adding an interesting new feature to your property. Everest’s durable uPVC cladding is perfect for adding extra thermal insulation and pleasing visuals to any building.
