Description

2mm Aluminium Soffit Type 3 for Clean Roofline Detailing

The 2mm Aluminium Soffit Type 3 – 3m Length is designed to finish the underside of roof overhangs and eaves while forming part of a coordinated aluminium roofline system.

It is manufactured from 2mm aluminium and supplied in a 3 metre length. The Type 3 profile uses a secret-fix system, helping to reduce visible fixings and create a cleaner underside detail. This can be particularly useful on modern homes, housing developments and commercial buildings where the soffit remains clearly visible from ground level.

Standard widths run from 150mm to 800mm, giving contractors, developers and homeowners a broad choice for different eaves depths. Each 3m length includes one union, helping adjoining sections connect across longer soffit runs.

A wide range of RAL and BS colours is available, together with mill finish. Where a powder-coated finish is selected, Metal Profiles applies external-grade polyester powder coating to the exposed surface unless agreed otherwise. This makes it easier to coordinate the soffit with aluminium fascia, guttering and other roofline components.

For a complete system, view the Soffit Type 3 range, including the matching 90° Corner and Type 3 Internal Joiner.

For homeowners, choosing the correct width is usually the most important first step. For contractors and developers, it is worth planning the complete run, joints, corners and fixing substrate before quantities are finalised

Benefits & Features

Key Benefits of Aluminium Soffit Type 3

  • 2mm aluminium construction – provides a rigid soffit section for external roofline applications.
  • 3 metre length – helps reduce the number of sections and joints required across longer runs.
  • Secret-fix Type 3 design – developed to give the finished soffit a cleaner appearance with fewer visible fixings.
  • 150mm to 800mm width options – allows the soffit to suit a wide range of roof overhang depths.
  • One union included with each 3m length – useful when connecting adjoining soffit sections.
  • Wide RAL and BS colour choice – makes it easier to coordinate the soffit with fascia, guttering and surrounding external metalwork.
  • Mill finish available – provides an alternative where a coated finish is not required.
  • External-grade polyester powder coating – available for exposed external surfaces.
  • Corrosion-resistant aluminium – suitable for external eaves and roof overhang applications.
  • A2-s1,d0 classification stated on the current product specification – project-specific fire requirements should still be checked against the relevant specification and supporting documents.
  • 100% recyclable aluminium – aluminium can be recovered and recycled at the end of its service life.

Designed as Part of a Complete Soffit System

A soffit should not be selected only by colour or price. The width, corner layout, joint positions and adjoining roofline components all affect the finished result.

The Type 3 range includes matching corners, internal joiners, colour-coded fasteners, sealant and finishing products. Planning these together can make the material schedule clearer and reduce the need to solve missing details on site.

For a straightforward installation, use the same soffit type, width and finish throughout each continuous run unless the building detail requires something different.

Installation Notes

What to Check Before Installation

Measure the soffit opening and overall run length before placing the order. Confirm the required width and identify every corner, joint and end condition. This will help you calculate the correct number of 3m sections and matching accessories.

Each 3m Type 3 soffit length includes one union. Additional Type 3 Internal Joiners and 90° Corners should be allowed for where the roofline layout requires them.

Check the fixing substrate before installation. Metal Profiles offers separate colour-coded fasteners for timber and metal substrates, so the fixing method should be selected to suit the supporting construction rather than chosen by appearance alone.

The Type 3 profile uses a secret-fix arrangement. Joint and corner positions should therefore be planned before the soffit run is fitted so that the overall layout remains consistent.

Metal Profiles’ current powder-coating policy states that coating is applied externally unless otherwise agreed. Hanging holes are also required during the powder-coating process for soffit products. If appearance on a normally concealed face is important for your project, clarify the finish before ordering.

For non-standard dimensions or unusual roof details, use the Request an Estimate service and provide the relevant measurements or drawings before ordering.

Choosing the Correct Soffit Width

Measure the distance that the soffit needs to cover rather than selecting a width based on the existing board alone.

On refurbishment projects, existing roofline materials may hide the true opening or fixing position. Check the substrate, fascia position and any changes in width along the run before ordering.

If none of the standard sizes suits the detail, Metal Profiles states that bespoke soffit solutions are available for project-specific requirements.
