HAVE you ever wondered about the board that seals the gap between
the roof and the underside of the eave? Do you know how important it
is?
Many of us may not know it yet, but the fascia,
or more commonly referred to by homebuilders as the “face
board”, is the vertical surface that supports the rain gutters of
the house, acting as a protective cover for the gap between the roof
and the soffit. With these boards in place, the ceiling is protected
from overspills from the gutters and the unwelcome entry of
household pests.
Because most of us don’t realize yet how
important it is to have strong, longer-lasting fascia boards, we
often commit the mistake of buying cheap kiln wood for face boards.
Unfortunately, after about two years, boards of
these quality shrink and rot quickly, thanks but no thanks to rain
and termite infestation.
And that could only be the beginning.
Rotting boards can also be prone to chew-holes
caused by common household vermin like rats, cockroaches and other
creepy crawlers. If neglected or compromised, indeed, fascia of
inferior quality can cause more harm than most homeowners think. You
wouldn’t want to live in a house inhabited by these nasty
creatures, would you?
That’s why it’s always wise to trust only
the experts and never settle for anything less when it comes to
choosing face boards. After all, this is your house we’re talking
about—the most important investment in your life.
