Fascias and barge boards are boards fitted around the exposed edges of a pitched roof.
Fascia boards run horizontally, support the guttering and help to protect the roof structure behind. Barge boards run along the sloping edges at a gable end, protecting the roof timbers and giving the roofline a neat, finished appearance.
Traditionally these were made from timber, but modern replacements are commonly made from low-maintenance uPVC.
