Industrial Gutters And Guttering Systems - Step Four Installing The Designer Decorative Fascia

The fourth step recommended by Easy Flow Gutters when installing industrial gutters and guttering systems in offices and or industrial buildings in Johannesburg South Africa is to connect the designer decorative fascia. So what is fascia? According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia on the internet, fascia is defined as, quote “Fascia is an architectural term for a frieze or band running horizontally and situated vertically under a roof edge, or which forms the outer surface of a cornice, visible to an observer. Typically consists of a wooden board or sheet metal. The word fascia derives from Latin "fascia" meaning "band, bandage, ribbon, and swathe". The term is also used, although less commonly, for other such band-like surfaces like a wide, flat trim strip around a doorway, different and separate from the wall surface. The horizontal "fascia board" which caps the end of rafters outside a building may be used to hold the rain gutter.

The finished surface below the fascia and rafters is called the soffit or eave classical architecture, the fascia is the plain, wide band across the bottom of the entablature, directly above the columns. The ‘guttae’ or drip edge was mounted on the fascia in the Doric order, below the triglyph” end quote. Start at the end point, where the liner has started, before you initiate your designer fascia installation. That being said, you can actually start at any point and proceed in any direction because the fascia is splice connected. Place the decorative fascia in position by hooking its lower edge onto the support brackets retaining clip and pulling it to a loose position over the support brackets front the outermost edge. Pulling the fascia into position requires a certain amount of physical strength and one needs to be aware of the fact that it might bend out of its original configuration because of the application of this strong physical force.

The decorative fascia is manufactured from a light gauge material in order to provide a spring fit so that if you accidently bend it you can push it back into shape. It is best to work with the fascia’s joints as you install the material and in so doing create a smooth monolithic look. After you have applied the first piece you need to insert a fascia splice plate half its width into the decorative fascia end. This will then butt the next fascia section. Rivet the splice plate, with only two rivets, to this fascia section. Fit the next fascia in the same way as detailed above. Do not rivet the splice plate to both fascia section because if you do it will cause the product to bind from thermal movement. Connect no more than two to three decorative fascias at a time because you will always want to check their alignment from ground level after you have installed the inside straps. Do not install fascias that have been cut shorter than forty eight inches in length. Short sections are difficult to align. Also, no not use splice plates as joint covers.
