Fascia board

Fascia Boards are often made from a wide range of different materials, each posing various advantages and challenges. The most common materials include wood, PVC, fiber cement, vinyl, and aluminum. 

1. Wood:
   Wood is perhaps the most common selection when it comes to designing a fascia board. Wood designs can bring a pleasing aesthetic value to the home, especially if your home has wooden siding. Typically for fascia boards, cedar and redwood are popular choices given their resistance to rot from excessive moisture. However, if you prime and paint the fascia, then fir, spruce, and pine can also make beautiful choices from a design standpoint.
2. PVC:
   Essentially plastic, PVC fascia boards are made from the same material as your pipes and tubes but tend to look similar to wood-based fascia boards. PVC fascia boards’ critical advantage over wood is they are more efficient in rot-resistance and don’t look terrible either.  PVC fascia boards also come in a wide selection of colors and can be painted as per preferences. However, given how PVC is plastic and hence will expand, it’s best to use glue and headed nails to secure the board to your roof. 
3. Fiber Cement/Composite Fascia Boards: 
   Composite or fiber cement fascia boards are made from an amalgamation of recycled woodchips and sawdust bonded together by epoxy resin. Composite fascia boards are on the more expensive side and cannot be painted, making them slightly unpopular. However, given their impressive rot resistance and durability, if customization and the general ‘look and feel’ isn’t your highest priority, then a composite fascia board is a great option to keep in my mind. 
4. Vinyl:
   Vinyl, with its properties, makes it an excellent choice to make a fascia board. With proficient durability, superior quality, and a lower maintenance cost than wood, make this a viable option. 
5. Aluminum:
   Aluminum and Vinyl are very similar in stature when it comes to the quality of the material and properties associated with the board’s design. However, this is a slight pricer option.
