Gutterzone specialize in installing fibre cement fascias and barge boards as well as chromadek fascias and barge boards.

Barge boards on roofs, typically found in traditional or vernacular architecture, serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. Functionally, they help protect the edges of the roof and the underlying structure from weather damage, such as wind and rain, by covering the exposed ends of the roof’s rafters. This helps prevent water ingress and reduces the risk of decay. Aesthetically, barge boards can enhance the appearance of a building by adding decorative elements, often featuring intricate designs that complement the overall architectural style. This combination of protection and decoration makes barge boards a valuable feature in roof construction.

Fascia boards help shield the ends of roof rafters from exposure to the elements, preventing water damage and decay. This protective barrier enhances the durability of the roof while also contributing to a cleaner, more finished appearance by concealing the edges of the roofing materials.
