What Is Fascia Wrap?
To understand the purpose of fascia wrap, you will need to know what fascia boards are. Fascia boards protect the otherwise open areas between the ends of your home’s rafters. Some older homes might lack these particular boards due to significant changes in the construction industry over time.
Fascia boards are also a vital support structure for the gutters around your home. Some homes might use a roof-strap support system in place of a fascia board. Contact a local professional if you are unsure if your home has a fascia board or to learn more about fascia installation for your house.
Fascia wraps are also known as fascia capping or fascia cladding. No matter which phrase you prefer, a fascia wrap is more simple than you might think. Fascia wraps prevent potential water damage to the fascia boards by wrapping the wooden boards with metal or vinyl.
What Are the Benefits of Fascia Wraps?
The most significant benefit of a fascia wrap is how it protects your home’s structure. The metal or vinyl repels water away from the vital fascia structure to lengthen the lifespan of your roof and gutters. Fascia wraps also have no additional requirements for maintenance.
Fascia wraps are available in numerous colors and finishes to match or complement your home for improved curb appeal. By combining the fascia wrap’s protective qualities with an overall improved appearance, you can protect and even improve the value of your home for years to come.
The only drawback to fascia wrapping is that it can obscure signs of water damage from storms and other influences. Before installing a new wrap, professionals will recommend a complete inspection of the current fascia boards and any existing fascia-wrapped panels.
The inspection will require removing:
- Gutters
- Gutter hangers
- Screws, nails, and debris
In some cases, this process can disturb or destroy water-damaged fascia boards, accelerating the need for replacement and professional fascia wrapping. This is especially true for any home with fascia wrap that doesn’t include a drip edge that helps close all gaps between your roof and gutter.
Some homes may require the installation of new fascia boards before moving forward with a wrapping service.
