We have earlier shared why soffits are important for your home. But you may also wonder what kind of soffits you should install at home. When it comes to soffits there are a lot of materials available in the market. The general inclination is to install a soffit that matches the siding. The siding contractor can recommend the material you should use. Then there are times that demand an installation of soffits as is, especially when a new roof has been installed or when the old soffit needs replacement due to damage and similar factors. By means of the area of the home and its appearance, the choice of soffit becomes an important one - one you should pay added attention to. Let us start with what are the most commonly used materials for soffits - they are undoubtedly metal, vinyl, and wood. While wood may require painting off and on, vinyl would need some amount of maintenance. There are yet other options available such as a fiber cement soffit. These have the advantage of being low maintenance while keeping the aesthetics of your home strong. These are available in smooth as well as wood grain finish. Other options include vented and unvented fiber cement soffits so you can pick the one which is more suited to you. What's more? There is a range of colours to choose from! Furthermore, you should be aware of customization for soffits. The colours can be customized too, even though white is the most common choice. Some styles of soffit give the appearance of natural wood for a very sophisticated look. Custom installations ensure your home looks just as you want your dream home to look! This small part of your home plays a big role, so take your time picking one.
