Barney12 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hi All Has anyone come across this product? Its a composite ali roof line system which (they claim) uses standard tools and fitment etc? On the facia of it (sorry ) it would appear to be a good compromise between uPVC and the more expensive ali systems? http://www.marleyalutec.co.uk/products/evoke-fascia-soffit-and-copings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I have looked at this for my house. I only need the "Fascia A" profile with no soffit, to over clad my wooden fascia. I don't see how installation of this differs in any way from any other sheet cladding system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know to be honest. This is an area I've only just started to research. I just had a memory that I've read some of these aluminium/power coated system are "specialist fit" only?

Nick Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Any idea how much roughly per linear metre these cost? They seem like fairly basic aluminium sections that a fabricator with a brake press could run up easily enough. The vented soffit would be difficult but for unvented, it just looks like sheet aluminium that gets made to measure for roofing & cladding all the time.

List prices here (no doubt heavily discounted in reality): Page 66: http://www.marleyalutec.co.uk/media/2975/marley-alutec-price-list.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Cheers. Will all depend on the discount i guess. The list prices seem high-ish. Surprised to see they are 4mm aluminium. I normally see 2mm max used for soffits/copings/flashings on commercial sites. Im assuming this is how they get away with not needing a backer board. Downside - this would make them heavy to work with. Forgive my ignorance but is there anything special about these fascia systems other than what's shown in the cross section & description? Are there any specific regs or requirements to comply with here? If not, i'd imagine you could make a saving by using a backer board and having your own much thinner PPC aluminium pieces made up.

Nick Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 On second read, ive just spotted the word composite used. I take it these are ACMs with two very thin sheets of ali bonded to a cheaper core. Would make more sense. Weight wont be an issue if this is the case. Still... a pricey solution for a fascia.
