What it is

A fascia closes the roof edge, gives a neat finish, and often carries the gutter. On flat roofs, a concrete band or cladding does the same job.

Key points

  • Finishes the roof edge
  • Carries gutters
  • Timber, PVC, metal or concrete
  • Part of the elevation design

Why it matters

A neat roof edge with a drip groove keeps rainwater from staining the walls below.

How Elamentt handles it

Roof edges have a drip detail so water does not run down and stain the walls.
