Facia and soffit material recommendations

[geoffdg]

Hi all, 

We are looking for recommendations for Facia and soffit board materials and suppliers. Ideally little maintenance needed, not uPVC and not gloss painted.

Thanks, Geoff

Powder coated aluminium? Pre patinated zinc (expensive)?

Thanks, I will look into them

Cembonit. No maintenance and through coloured so a cut edge matches the front.

 

Difficult to cut though, I had mine precut by the supplier based on a cutting specification. You also get colour matched screws.

 

Ring the manufacturer and they will send samples for free.

+1. It’s what I used for fascia and gutters. Easy to fit and looks excellent. You get the look of aluminium with the ease of fitting of uPVC.

List prices are high but I managed to get 35% discount by shopping around the merchants. Still doesn’t make it cheap though in comparison to uPVC.

Thanks everyone for the information, a bit more for me to investigate.
