Designed for professional contractors and homeowners undertaking high-end roofline renovations, this 175mm Aluminium Soffit Flat Profile offers a durable and aesthetically superior alternative to traditional plastic soffits. It excels at creating a clean, permanent seal between the fascia and the property wall, providing excellent longevity and weather resistance, though it requires precise measurement and cutting skills during the installation process compared to flexible uPVC alternatives.

While it can be cut with a fine-toothed metal blade or a jigsaw equipped for non-ferrous metals, standard wood saws are not recommended as they will damage the teeth and result in jagged edges.
Yes, aluminium is an excellent choice for coastal environments due to its natural resistance to salt air corrosion compared to steel or timber.
Always use high-quality, stainless steel, or color-matched aluminium fasteners to prevent rust and galvanic corrosion.
The boards come with a high-quality factory finish. If you must change the color, you would need to use a specialized primer for aluminium surfaces followed by a high-grade exterior metal paint.
This is a solid flat profile. If your roof design requires ventilation, you must install separate ventilated soffit strips or ensure airflow is managed through other roofline components.
Check the wall for irregularities or debris. You may need to use a scribing tool to follow the wall profile or ensure the sub-fascia is mounted perfectly level.
Ensure the boards are cut square. If gaps persist, ensure the boards are not being subjected to excessive thermal stress; allow for a small expansion gap as per building standard practices.
To install this soffit, ensure your sub-fascia is perfectly level, as aluminium does not offer the same 'forgiving' flexibility as plastic. Use appropriate non-corrosive fasteners to prevent galvanic reaction.
Compatibility: This profile is optimized for use with the ARP aluminium fascia range. Ensure that any structural members (noggins) are spaced appropriately to support the 3-meter spans.
Care: Maintenance is minimal. An occasional rinse with mild soapy water and a soft cloth is sufficient to remove debris or salt buildup. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the factory-applied finish.
