PVCU Cladding Fascias, Soffits, Barge Board - Why Have It?

An introduction:

In the UK, cladding of the domestic property fulfils two purposes, namely functional and decorative.

Functional:

The very nature of the many and varied designs of properties built of the last century dictates that Fascia boards (the guttering fits onto it), and Soffits (the flat board that you see below the fascia board), are a necessity as part and parcel of the design structure. I.E. they need to be there.

Decorative:

Most people agree that in the right place 'Shiplap' looks very nice.
Shiplap, and also it's near neighbour TGV (Tongued - Grooved - Vee'd), often in the trade called 'matchboard', is used as a decorative cladding, although now in new build they are both used more sparingly than a few decades ago.

Just think of the time and money you can save on painting your home, or repairing / replacing rotting fascias / soffits. This can all be a thing of the past when you replace your fascias, soffits, barge board, guttering or cladding with low maintenance PVC-U building products.

Special Note: The terms PVCu, uPVC, PVC-U, and PVCU all essentially refer to the same product. We use all of these terms as most companies still use a "mixture" of these when describing their Low Maintenance or Maintenance Free Building Products. For the record the current "industry standard" term to describe these products is PVC-U.
