Fascia Type 2

2mm aluminium fascia for roofline and fascia replacement work

Metal Profiles Ltd supplies Fascia Type 2 as a complete aluminium fascia system, with 3m fascia lengths and matching accessories to help form a continuous roofline detail. The main fascia board is manufactured from 2mm aluminium and is available in standard widths from 150mm to 800mm. Each standard width has a 30mm V-profile lip, which gives the fascia a defined edge and helps the system suit a range of roofline and eaves applications.

This subcategory includes the main lengths plus the parts needed to complete a run: 90° external corners, 90° internal corners, stopends and internal joiners. Colour coded metal and timber fasteners, sealant, spray cans and touch up paint are also available to support fixing and finishing. For buyers comparing the wider system, our soffit or fascia guide explains how the fascia sits within the overall roofline build-up.

Where Fascia Type 2 is commonly used

This product is commonly used for roofline edging, fascia replacement, eaves detailing, soffit interfaces and areas where fascia and guttering need to work together cleanly. It can be used on new-build schemes and existing properties, including projects where the fascia forms part of a broader soffit and fascia arrangement. For a wider understanding of the assembly, our what is a soffit UK guide can help when specifying the roofline detail.

When the fascia is being coordinated with guttering, it can also be useful to review aluminium guttering Chelmsford Essex or durable aluminium guttering so the fascia and gutter support areas are considered together rather than as separate elements.

Why aluminium is suitable for this fascia system

Aluminium is a practical material for fascia boards because it is suitable for external use, is 100% recyclable and can be polyester powder coated with external-grade paint. That makes it a sensible choice for UK weather conditions, where the roof fascia board needs to cope with exposure, regular rainfall and changing temperatures. The Type 2 fascia system is designed and fabricated in the UK, with a wide selection of RAL and BS colour options available for colour matching.

What to check before ordering

Before ordering, confirm the fascia width needed, the number of joints, the corner conditions and whether the fascia run ends are open or need closing off. The system is typically fixed to 18mm external-grade plywood, and installation guidance states that a 3mm expansion gap should be allowed at each joint. These details matter because they affect the final fit and the number of accessories required.

Standard sizes will suit many fascia board replacement and roofline projects, but bespoke fabrication may be needed where the width, layout or adjoining soffit detail does not suit the available options. If you need to match a specific project colour or need support with the fixing sequence, the aluminium fascia installation guide and how to install aluminium fascia articles may be helpful.

Choose the 3m length if you want to reduce the number of joints on longer runs. Select the correct width from the 150mm to 800mm range, then add the relevant 90° internal or external corners, internal joiners and stopends to suit the building layout. Use the colour coded fasteners that match the fixing substrate, and choose sealant, spray can or touch up paint where a more consistent colour finish is needed. If the standard range does not suit the detail, request an estimate with measurements and corner information so the fascia can be assessed properly.
