About > > uPVC fascias and gutters
uPVC fitments have now been in service long enough to know that this is a reliable material.
uPVC, unlike other plastics, has been formulated to be UV resistant meaning it does not become brittle after prolonged exposure to sunlight. uPVC does not shrink, rot or fade and, apart from the occasional clean, requires no maintenance.
uPVC fascias are available in a range of colours and wood effect finishes. uPVC fascias are a fit-and-forget product. They are weather, rot and vermin resistant, hence their popularity.
Gutter systems are available in a number of profiles: half round, square section and, for larger roofs, deep-flow.
Also shown in the above image are uPVC verge caps. This product has now largely replaced the older method of mortared verges. The uPVC verge caps are screwed to the roof timbers and interlock. A lip at the back of the verge cap then fits over the roof tiles helping to stabilise the tiles and prevent wind uplift.
