Walnut PVC Fascia and soffit

GoldenGreen

Hi All,
I hope someone here will be able to help. I have Walnut PVC windows on my house and want to get PVC Fascia and soffit to match the windows. My only problem is that I can't find anywhere that does Walnut PVC fascia and soffit up here in Donegal. Anyone know where I can get walnut PVC fascia and soffit.

Thanks

See, the problem is, walnut is simply a name applied my the window company.
Their isn't actually such a thing as Walnut PVC, it just sounds better than dark brown. So even if you found a manufacturer of "Walnut" fascias, it may not be the same colour as the windows.
Are you familar with RAL colours?
Its a colour space of over 1900 colours, many PVC manufacturers can fabricate in most of the colours. You may have to do a bit of checking, but you should get a close match.


you could also simply use a walnut fascia

Walnut windows in real walnut would be a challange!
Walnut soffitt and fascia would cost lots ( might cost an arm and a leg - never seen walnut fascia)

Walnut is great for furniture, internal floors etc. Its an expensive wood. I'm not sure how suitable it is to exterior use.

You could have Douglas Fir timber soffitt and fascia, painted to match exact tone of windows. This timber is quite hardwearing, even if left untreated. Maybe Cedar fascia would work?

Hi,

I am building an ICF house in north west and my carpenter suggested using Douglas Fir or Cedar Fascia 7"x1.5". We are doing a traditional flush eave detail.

Has anyone out there have any experience with using this timber for Fascia. I would love to see how it looks after some years, is it better to paint or leave natural?

Any advice on where to source Cedar or Douglas Fir Fascia around north west?

Thanks,
Windyboy

Thanks for the reply, but fascia and soffitt has been fitted now over a year ago, had to go with just black in the end up, turned out fine

Hi Windboy, I am considering cedar fascia or Teak, how did you get on with yours did you go with cedar?

Another question can you paint cedar ?

Hi,

We ended up not putting up any timber facsia. To avoid any maintenance as its a 2 storey house, we went with a canted rendered edge which is a traditional detail. We screwed on ICF sheets over the timber rafter ends to continue the wall to the underside of the slate as a flush eave. The render company then cut a polystrene aeroboard sheet 25mm thick and bed that across the top with base coat and then finish coat (Sto) to form the canted edge detail.

The carpenter nailed 9x2's in between and flush with the rafter ends so that we have a fixing point for the gutters. The gutter men are coming monday, they got 140mm stainless screws for the job.
