Critical Protection and Ventilation for Your Roof System

​

The soffit and fascia are the final pieces of your roofing system, protecting your exposed structure and facilitating essential attic ventilation.

​

1. Soffit: Essential Attic Ventilation

The soffit is the finished material covering the underside of your roof's eaves (overhangs). Its primary function is to allow proper airflow and ventilation into your attic space.

  • Prevents Moisture Damage: Proper soffit ventilation draws dry, cool air into the attic, preventing the buildup of heat and moisture that leads to mold, mildew, and wood rot.

  • Ice Dam Prevention: In cold climates like Ottawa, balanced ventilation is crucial. It helps regulate attic temperature, reducing the heat loss that melts snow and causes destructive ice dams.

  • Energy Efficiency: Reduces extreme heat buildup in the attic during summer months, helping to lower your cooling costs.

  • Clean Aesthetic: Provides a clean, finished closure to the eaves, concealing the exposed rafters and framing.

2. Fascia: Structural Support & Anchor​

The fascia is the vertical trim board that runs along the roofline, capping the ends of the roof trusses or rafters. It is a critical structural and protective component.​

  • Gutter Support Anchor: The fascia is the most important component, as it provides the solid, stable anchor required to support the entire weight of your eavestrough system (especially when gutters are filled with heavy rain or snow).

  • Rafter Protection: Protects the exposed, raw ends of your rafters and roof decking from harsh weather, water penetration, and pests.

  • Durable Cladding: We use high-quality, weather-resistant aluminum or vinyl cladding to permanently cover the fascia wood core, eliminating the need for frequent painting and preventing rot.

  • A Finished Look: Provides a smooth, clean transition between your roof and the exterior walls.
