HardiFlex seals for life

Have you ever wondered about the board that seals the gap between the roof and the underside of the eave? Do you know how important it is?

Many of us may not know it yet, but the fascia, or more commonly referred to by homebuilders as the “face board”, is the vertical surface that supports the rain gutters of the house, acting as a protective cover for the gap between the roof and the soffit. With these boards in place, the ceiling is protected from overspills from the gutters and the unwelcome entry of household pests.

Because most of us don’t realize yet how important it is to have strong, longer-lasting fascia boards, we often commit the mistake of buying cheap kiln wood for face boards.

Unfortunately, after about two years, boards of these quality shrink and rot quickly, thanks but no thanks to rain and termite infestation.

And that could only be the beginning.

Rotting boards can also be prone to chew-holes caused by common household vermin like rats, cockroaches and other creepy crawlers. If neglected or compromised, indeed, fascia of inferior quality can cause more harm than most homeowners think. You wouldn’t want to live in a house inhabited by these nasty creatures, would you?

That’s why it’s always wise to trust only the experts and never settle for anything less when it comes to choosing face boards. After all, this is your house we’re talking about — the most important investment in your life.
