uPVC Guttering, Fascias and Soffits

When you live in a climate as rainy as the British Isles, you need to pay a lot of attention to those areas in your house that deal with rainwater. Specifically, the guttering and fascia on your roof plays a key role in handling rainwater and keeping it away from your home. Choosing UPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride or PVC-U) guttering and fascia board brings a number of significant advantages.

Guttering comes in a range of shapes. The most common shape is half-round guttering, with square-line guttering also available. These items come with a full range of matching accessories and fitting systems and adaptors to allow compatibility with any existing PVC system. For larger buildings and problem drainage areas, high capacity gutters and downpipes are available.

Your guttering is attached to an item known as the fascia board. This caps the end of rafters outside a building. Modern uPVC fascia boards can attach directly to the rafters in your roof making the use of a timber substrate unnecessary. Other than standard styles, fascia boards also come in ogee sculpted styles.
