Soffits

Why is aluminum suitable for soffits in all climates?

Aluminum is ideal for various climates, including coastal and high-humidity areas, because of its corrosion resistance, which makes it suitable for harsh weather conditions, while also withstanding heat and cold without warping.

Does aluminum cladding on soffits affect energy efficiency?

Aluminum soffits can help with energy efficiency by promoting air circulation, reducing moisture buildup, and preventing heat from building up in the roof. Reflective finishes can also help mitigate heat in warmer climates.

Can using aluminum for soffits help with ventilation?

Our aluminum systems allow for a small space between the product and substrate, which allows for airflow and ventilation. This ventilation helps prevent moisture buildup and condensation, which can lead to mould or structural damage.

Does aluminum on soffits contribute to fire safety?

Yes, aluminum is a non-combustible material, making it an excellent choice for soffits in areas with higher fire risk. It helps provide additional fire protection by creating a barrier around the roof’s edges.

Can our aluminum products be installed on existing soffits?

Yes, our aluminum cladding or batten systems can often be retrofitted onto existing soffits. A professional installer or one of our customer service reps can advise on how best to apply our products over the existing framework.
