Fascia & Soffit considerations

[dangti6]

I’m looking to have UPVC fascias and soffits fitted across a garage door opening. 

 

 

(The trusses over the beam will have the same overhang as existing )

 

The intention is to run the soffit along and  underneath the UB. The soffit depth either side is 300mm and distance from the fascia board to the rear of the lintel is 500mm so it should all go in nicely.

 

 

Due to the (over spec’d?) height of the UB I will have to bring the fascia height down - couldn’t have it any higher due to wall plate. A 250mm tall fascia should do it. A 225mm version would probably angle the soffit down otherwise. Just hope a 250mm fascia doesn’t look too excessive beneath the guttering.

 

Any ideas or thoughts I may not have considered?

I’m thinking to bond the 9mm thick soffit panel to the underside of the Beam. In addition I am thinking I could run a strip of timber along the inside edge of the UB and attach some F trim like this to ‘hang’ down and hold the edge of the soffit up tight to the UB.

 

 

 

(In hindsight I should have dropped the beam down and had a brick infill or rendered along the top between the door and soffit but maximum overhead entry height may come in handy one day to get something tall inside)
