Installation & Maintenance Tips

This installation information is a general guide only and may not address your specific site conditions. Always follow local building codes, safety practices, and professional methods. If you are not experienced with this type of work, hire a qualified contractor.

Installation
  1. Measure and calculate: Determine total linear footage required; order complete boxes for project efficiency; verify color matching across all materials.
  2. Surface preparation: Clean and inspect existing wide Fascia Boards; repair structural issues; confirm surface is dry and sound before coverage.
  3. Cutting and sizing: Use tin snips or circular saw with fine-tooth blade; support material fully when cutting to maintain straight edges.
  4. Fastener installation: Use Stainless Steel Trim Nails or Hex Screws every 12-16 inches along top and bottom; predrill for thick boards to prevent material distortion.
  5. Joint management: Create proper overlaps at connections; seal with commercial-grade Caulk and ensure weatherproof transitions between sections.
  6. Edge finishing: Install appropriate corner and end treatments; caulk all connections for complete weather seal and professional finish.

Maintenance
  1. Regular inspection: Check fasteners, joints, and overall condition annually; address any issues promptly to maintain weather protection.
  2. Cleaning maintenance: Wash with mild detergent and water to remove environmental buildup; avoid harsh chemicals that could damage finish.
  3. Sealant monitoring: Inspect and refresh caulk lines every 3-5 years or when degradation appears; maintain complete weather seal.
  4. Structural verification: Ensure Fascia remains properly aligned and secure; check for any movement or stress from building settling.

8-Inch vs 6-Inch Fascia
  • 8-Inch Fascia: Maximum coverage for wider Fascia Boards, commercial applications, comprehensive protection for demanding installations.
  • 6-Inch Fascia: Standard residential width, cost-effective for typical applications, easier handling for smaller projects.

Aluminum Fascia vs Wood Fascia
  • Aluminum Fascia: Weather resistant, maintenance-free, insect proof, consistent finish, commercial-grade longevity.
  • Wood Fascia: Traditional aesthetic, paintable in any color, repairable sections, lower upfront material cost.
