Fascia, soffit and gutter colours: what matches what

What colours do fascia, soffit and gutter come in?

White comes in every range. Beyond white, the choice depends on the range and, for boards, on the width. The table lists what the catalogue holds today, so check the product page for your size before you plan the job.

Which colours are available across fascia, soffit and gutter together?

White is available in all of them. Anthracite is the other colour that runs the whole way: cover fascia, soffit board, gutter, downpipe, circular vent and nails all come in it. Black runs almost as far, in smooth black fascia in some widths, flat and hollow soffit, gutters, vents and nails.

Brown and rosewood suit different parts. Brown comes in gutters, downpipe, vents and nails, and as smooth brown in hollow soffit. Rosewood comes in fascia and soffit boards and trims. With rosewood boards, choose the gutter colour that sits best beside them, so hold a sample against the board before you order.

What is a woodgrain foil?

A foil finish is a thin film bonded to the face of a uPVC board. It carries the colour or the woodgrain pattern, which is how a plastic board looks like rosewood. Anthracite, black ash and rosewood are foil finishes. Rosewood and black ash are the woodgrain-style ones.

Put cut ends where a joint trim, a corner or the wall covers them. The joining and corners guide shows where those are.

Where can I get rosewood and black ash?

Rosewood is the widest of the woodgrain-style finishes. It comes on every cover board width, on the 405mm replacement board, on flat board from 150mm up, on the 300mm and 405mm vented board, and on hollow soffit. Black ash is narrower. It is listed on the 300mm and 405mm vented board, the 250mm flat board and the hollow soffit starting section.

That means a rosewood fascia and a rosewood soffit are easy to put together. For black ash, the fascia boards in smooth black and anthracite sit beside it, so compare a sample of each before you decide.

Check a board and a gutter side by side before you order.

How do I match fascia and soffit to windows and doors?

Match the colour you see from the pavement, which is the frame face. White frames take white boards and anthracite frames take anthracite.

Check in daylight. Take a photograph or a small offcut of the frame, then hold it against a board sample at the same angle. If you are also replacing windows or doors, decide their colour first and choose the roofline to suit.

Should the fascia, soffit and gutter all be the same colour?

Most roofline jobs use one colour across all three, so the roof edge reads as one line. Using a different gutter colour is a style choice, because gutter brackets fix to any fascia. White fascia with black gutters is possible, as both are in the catalogue.

A few points to keep in mind:

• Replacement fascia comes in white in every width, and the 405mm also in smooth black, anthracite and rosewood. For colour in a narrower width, the cover board offers it.
• Deepflow gutter comes in white and black. Brown and anthracite gutters come in half round, Squareline and Ogee. The guide on which gutter profile you need explains the differences, and each profile fits with its own range.
• The 600mm trims and the 135 degree corner come in white.

Do vents, nails and trims need to match too?

Yes, because they are the parts people see from the ground. Circular soffit vents come in white, anthracite grey, brown and black. Colour-head nails and pins come in white, black, brown and anthracite, so the head vanishes against the board. Match the nail colour to the board so the head blends in from the ground.

What should I check before I order?

• The width you need. Colour depends on width for many boards.
• The thickness. Cover is 8mm and replacement is 16mm. The guide to what size fascia board you need covers measuring.
• Every part in the same colour: boards, trims, vents and fixings.
• The colours each part comes in, if you are going for colour.
