Fascia and spouting are essential components for any Christchurch home. They serve a very important role in directing rainwater away from your structure and preventing moisture-related issues like rotting and mould growth. Plus, they add an extra touch of practical class to your home’s appearance. If you truly want the perfect fit for your home, you must consider custom fascia and spouting.
Your home’s fascia and spouting may not be as large as your roof or as visible as your exterior walls, but they play an undeniably important role in the safety and longevity of your house.
Fascia: The Vertical Finishing Board. Fascia is the board that’s fixed to the edge of your roofline; it hides and supports the ends of the roof rafters and is often used as the mounting point for spouting systems. Fascia is usually made of wood or metal and protects the interior of your home from water damage by directing water away from the roof and into the spouting system.
Aside from function, fascia also adds to the visual interest of your home. The simple yet effective board can complement the rest of your house design.
Spouting: The Rainwater Management System. Spouting systems, also called guttering, are metal channels that redirect rainwater away from your home. This prevents leaks, rot, erosion, structural damage and a plethora of other issues caused by unmanaged rainwater.
Spouting is so important because moisture damage can quickly lead to expensive and dangerous problems. Leaks may be mildly annoying at first, but they can cause problems like mould and mildew growth, which can harm your air quality.
There are different kinds of spouting as well, so you can pick what works best for your budget, aesthetic preferences and needs. If you’re interested in custom fascia and spouting, be sure you explore all of your options before you settle on your top choice:
• Continuous Spouting. Unlike traditional, sectional spouting that is made of multiple sections joined together around the roofline of a house, continuous spouting is made of one seamless length of material. This means there are no joins or seams, which strongly reduces the chances of leaks. The continuous nature also offers a sleeker look, with fewer disruptions in the design.
• Copper Spouting. Copper spouting is spouting that is either entirely or partially made of copper. It’s well-loved for both practical and aesthetic reasons – copper is very durable and can last for over 50 years. It’s also resistant to damage, rust and corrosion. Copper also has a gorgeous orange-brown colour when it’s installed, but it develops a patina over time and eventually has a beautiful blue-green colour. This adds charm, character and a unique touch to any property.
Why should you go for customised solutions over off-the-shelf options? Prebuilt fascia and spouting may seem like the faster option at first. But custom options come with so many benefits that are hard to ignore:
Seamless Design Integration Into Your Home’s Appearance And Function. Custom solutions are built specifically for your home. Instead of having to search for the right spouting (and buying at the right length and size, as well as purchasing enough parts for your roofline), you can have peace of mind knowing that you’ll get exactly what your home needs. Your new fascia and spouting will be a perfect fit for your house, both aesthetically and functionally.
Better Performance With A Flawless Fit. When your fascia and spouting are just right, they’ll perform much better. Spouting and fascia that are too large, too small, installed incorrectly or misaligned could channel water incorrectly or let water pool.
For optimised performance, we welcome you to discuss your preferences with our spouting specialist team so we can suggest the right solutions for you. We may also suggest additional products like gutter guards, which help prevent clogs.
