Frequently Asked Questions

This is a general guide only and may not address your specific site conditions. If you are not experienced with this type of work, hire a qualified contractor.

Can I mix Vented and Solid Soffit on the same project?

Yes, this is common and recommended. Use Vented Soffit under eaves where attic ventilation is needed, and Solid Soffit for porch ceilings, gable ends, or areas not requiring ventilation. Ensure proper ventilation balance by calculating total intake requirements.

What's the difference between 6-Inch and 8-Inch Fascia Boards?

The difference is the face height. 6-Inch Fascia covers standard residential Fascia Boards up to 6" tall, while 8" is designed for wider commercial applications or when maximum coverage is needed. Measure your existing Fascia height to determine the right size.

Can Trim Coil be formed with standard tools?

Yes, our .019-gauge Aluminum Trim Coil works well with standard brake-forming equipment and can even be bent by hand for smaller details. Use proper settings to avoid finish damage during forming.

Do Soffit panels expand and contract with temperature changes?

Yes, aluminum expands and contracts with temperature. Install panels 1/4" shorter than the opening to allow for thermal movement and prevent buckling. Use proper fastening techniques that allow for movement.

How do I ensure color matching across all components?

Order all Soffit, Trim, and Fascia components at the same time to ensure they come from the same production lot. This guarantees perfect color matching across your entire project.

What tools do I need for installation?

Basic tools include tin snips or circular saw with fine-tooth blade, drill with bits, measuring tape, level, chalk line, and appropriate aluminum fasteners. Brake-forming equipment is needed for custom Trim Coil applications.

Can these products be installed in cold weather?

Installation is best done in temperatures above 40°F when materials are more flexible and easier to handle. Extreme cold makes aluminum more brittle and harder to work with safely.

What's the expected lifespan of Aluminum Soffit and Trim?

With proper installation and minimal maintenance, Aluminum Soffit and Trim systems typically last 20-30 years while maintaining their appearance and function. The maintenance-free nature makes them an excellent long-term investment.

Can I paint Aluminum Soffit and Trim if I want to change colors?

While possible, the factory finish is designed to last decades without painting. If painting is desired, proper surface preparation including cleaning and light sanding for adhesion is essential, along with high-quality exterior paint designed for metal surfaces.

How do I prevent problems with expansion and contraction?

Proper installation techniques include leaving appropriate expansion gaps, using fasteners that allow movement, and avoiding over-tightening. Follow manufacturer installation guidelines for your climate zone.
