Archiwa Roof soffits

Can trapezoidal steel sheets be used for a soffit?

Trapezoidal sheet works as a soffit only when the profile is intended for that purpose. A low, subtle section with matching trim is usually the best choice. Remember to plan the support and eave ventilation. Leftover roof sheets are not enough on their own – their shape, length and coated side must suit the new role. Beneath the overhang, the material is seen up close, so the width of the fields between waves and the wall junction matter. View a sample in conditions similar to the finished soffit.

Choosing a soffit and estimating the cost of finishing the eaves

The choice of soffit is determined primarily by the roof eaves ventilation method and its construction, not by the appearance of the panels alone. It is therefore worth first establishing which solution is permitted for the given eaves, and only then comparing materials and layouts. Check whether the chosen variant ensures airflow, access for cleaning, and a consistent finish at the wall and gutter. When costing, do not stop at the price per square metre – compare the scope of the support frame, accessories and labour, as this determines the real cost.
