Fascia Cover Options for Aging Eaves

Fascia Covers

What is a fascia cover

Fascia covers are engineered to be installed over your current fascia boards. This system offers the benefit of concealing deteriorated or discoloured fascia board, while also providing a low-maintenance solution that eliminates the necessity of regular painting.

Design considerations

We offer a wide range of colours and styles, ensuring that you can find the perfect match that complements your home’s exterior, whether you’re looking for a bold contrast or a seamless blend.

For a truly polished appearance, we recommend matching your new fascia covers with the existing trim on your home. This creates a cohesive aesthetic that pulls your home’s design together, making the exterior look intentionally designed.

Should fascia boards be replaced or covered

If the fascia boards are old, rotting, or damaged, it’s best to replace them with new ones to make sure they can do their job properly. However, if the fascia boards are still in good shape but just look worn out, you can cover them with a Colorbond fascia cover to make them look nice again.

Maintenance tips

Regularly check and clean your fascia covers to keep them in optimal condition. A gentle wash with a mild detergent can prevent build-up and maintain their appearance. Aim to do this bi-annually.

For small issues like scratches or dents on your fascia covers, consider using a repair kit or touch-up paint. Quick fixes can extend their life and keep them looking good.

If you’re facing ongoing problems or notice severe damage to your fascia boards, it might be time to replace them instead of just covering.
