Fascia is a horizontal or angled board that encloses the edge or face of the projecting eaves. It is located on the face of the roof, covering the roof rafters and trusses. Fascia serves the home by helping to keep moisture out and away from the roof when installed properly. It also supports the roof, shingles, and gutters, which help direct water away from the home. Fascia helps create a finished look for the home with a smooth transition between the roof and the walls. Fascia is forward-facing on the home, so when a durable material that matches the home’s look is used, it helps to create an attractive look that can withstand the passage of time and adds to curb appeal. Fascia is not typically categorized as trim, but it’s closely related. Trim is mainly decorative, while fascia is more functional. Fascia can be made from many different materials, including wood, aluminum, vinyl, PVC, and plastic. The most commonly used fascia boards are made out of wood, but they can also be made of different materials. Fascia on a house must involve a strong material, as it has to support the gutter installation and to provide stability to the edge of the roof.
