Fascia On Gutters

It is alternatively known as an eaves gutter.

Fascia on gutters.

Architectural metal fascia typically for commercial applications our metal fascia can be combined with any of our metal roofing and gutter products to provide a complete metal cladding of existing roof to structure transitions. Its purpose is to cover the ends of the roof rafters and because that s where water drains off the roof the gutters are often attached to it. If the gutter is clogged some of that water will back up on the roof soaking it. And it doesn t stop there.

Unscrew the gutters from behind your existing fascia board with an electric screwdriver. Remove the gutter brackets from your fascia so you can reuse them on the new board. While most modern properties are built with upvc fascias and soffits older properties are likely to have wooden fittings. A fascia gutter is a type of gutter that combines the gutter with the fascia into one system.

If you need to put fascia boards on your home there are easy ways to ensure that they fit correctly and are installed properly. Like all gutter systems fascia gutters capture rainwater as it runs off a roof then transport the water to nearby downspouts. According to swish building products the fascia board is the long straight board that runs along the lower edge of the roof the fascia is connected to the roof trusses and supports the bottom roof tiles. As it is an all in one thing the gutter is meant to be installed directly to the roof rafters without the need for the traditional timber fascia.

Plus the double flow capacity of our optional downspouts and extensions reduces the possibility of your gutters overflowing clogging or flooding by directing water away from your home s foundation. Then locate the brackets underneath your gutter holding them in place and unscrew them so you can lift the gutter up and away from the fascia. A fascia board is technically part of the roof system of your house but from the ground it looks like part of the wall. As well as bearing the brunt of the rain leaks from gutters can drip across fascia boards causing deterioration over time.

When it is present it also carries the weight of the gutters. Fascia boards go around the eaves of your home s roof and are typically where the gutters are attached. Once you measure your roof to determine what length you need cut the boards to the correct size. Damage to the roof and fascia gutters are supposed to direct water away from your roof and into the ground.
