Aluminium fascia is the weather and corrosion-resistant panelling that runs along the lower
edge of your roof in order to protect its interior from moisture, mould, rot, insects and pests.

Helping to anchor your gutter system to your property, fascia also supports the weight of
your gutters and downpipes, while covering the rafters and trusses to offer aesthetic appeal.

What role does aluminium fascia play in rainwater drainage?

Aluminium fascia works with your gutters to channel rainwater away from your building and its foundations. Here’s how:

• Fascia provides a straight board base to mount and secure the gutters firmly to the roofline.
• Tight seals between fascia and gutters prevent leaks.
• Gutters need fascia for anchor points when hanging sections with gutter straps.
