Life Expectancy
Alugutter products are manufactured from marine grade aluminium and coated with exterior grade polyester powder paints. The aluminium will never rust, rot or crack like other material equivalents and polyester powder paint is one of the most durable decorative finishes available. Our products have a functional life expectancy of approximately 50 years, and with minimal maintenance, the colour coatings can provide a decorative finish for in excess of 25 years.
How to Fix Aluminium Fascia and Soffit Boards
Our aluminium fascia and soffit boards are typically screw fixed with colour matched screws to 18mm WBP plyboard framing. The plywood allows the fascia and soffits boards to be fixed at 600mm centres and will also support any potential guttering to be fixed over. Standard jointers and angle covers are bonded over abutting panels.
Top tip: Use masking tape to hold jointers in position until the silicone has cured.
Aluminium fascia and soffit panels are very similar to PVC systems in terms of the installation process and can be carried out by any competent trades person. Skill saws, jig saws and mitre saws with metal cutting blades are typically used to cut items down to size. View our Installation Videos.

CE Marking

How To Clean Aluminium Fascia and Soffits
Our fascia and soffit products will last for many years and with minimal maintenance, the powder coated surfaces can easily last in excess of 25 years before repainting is considered.
Rainwater alone will wash away most of the dirt but to get the maximum out of the paint life, we recommend that the system is cleaned annually or every 6 months in a marine environment. This will keep your system looking like new!
- Wash the fascia/soffit boards with clean water and a soft bristle brush only. The brush will remove stubborn build-ups and microfibre cloths also work very well!
- Do not use harsh cleaning chemicals, abrasive pads or pressure washers as these have the potential to damage the powder coated surfaces.
- Once the panels have been cleaned, dry the surfaces with another clean cloth which will leave the panels sparkling.
Most window cleaning professionals will also offer a fascia and gutter cleaning service.
Fire Rated Aluminium Fascia Systems
All of our polyester powder coated aluminium fascia's are non-combustible and have a fire class rating of A2-s1,d0. This means that they are suitable for unlimited use on residential and commercial properties including high rise balconies.
Aluminium Rainwater Systems
For an ultimate eaves system, our aluminium guttering and downpipe ranges are all compatible for use with our fascia and soffit products and can be polyester powder coated to perfectly match.
