Product Information

Full details

The ARP 175mm Aluminium Soffit Flat Profile is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a robust, weather-resistant finish for residential or commercial roofline systems. Its primary benefit is providing a seamless, durable seal between the fascia and the wall, ensuring superior protection against the elements. A key caveat to consider is that because it is made of rigid aluminium, precise measurements are necessary before cutting to ensure a perfect fit for your specific eaves depth.

FAQs

Can I paint these aluminium soffits?

These products arrive with a high-quality, durable finish. While they can be repainted if desired, it is recommended to use an appropriate metal primer and exterior-grade paint specifically formulated for powder-coated surfaces.

What tools do I need to cut the 175mm profile?

You should use a hacksaw for small adjustments or a circular saw equipped with a blade designed for cutting non-ferrous metals to ensure a clean, burr-free edge.

How do I join two lengths together?

Lengths are typically joined using the manufacturer-provided jointing pieces or by butt-joining them over a common rafter to ensure support.

Is this soffit board ventilated?

This specific product is a flat profile. If your building design requires roof void ventilation, ensure that you are using the correct vented components or fascia-mounted vents in conjunction with these boards.

Does the aluminium corrode?

Aluminium is naturally resistant to corrosion. With the protective powder coating applied to these boards, they are highly resistant to rust, even in coastal environments.

How should I store these boards before installation?

Store the boards indoors or under cover, flat and off the ground, to prevent the aluminium from bending or the finish from being scratched.

Troubleshooting

Board does not fit into the fascia track

Check if the fascia track is obstructed by debris or if the track was bent during transport. If clear, ensure the board is held perfectly square to the track during insertion.

Visible gaps at joints

Ensure the ends of the aluminium profiles are cut perfectly square using a chop saw or metal cutting guide to ensure a tight butt joint.

Board vibrating in high wind

Verify that the board is fully seated in the wall-mounted receiving channel and that it has been mechanically fixed to the rafters at appropriate centers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior resistance to extreme weather conditions
  • Provides a sleek, professional architectural finish
  • Low maintenance compared to timber or PVC alternatives
  • High structural integrity with 2mm thickness
  • Compatible with a wide range of existing ARP fascia systems

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement and metal-cutting tools
  • Heavier than traditional plastic soffit alternatives
  • More challenging to install for those without metalwork experience

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard carpentry and metalworking tools, including a fine-toothed hacksaw or a circular saw with a non-ferrous metal blade. Ensure that the substrate behind the board is sound and level before fixing. For compatibility, this 175mm profile is intended to interface with the ARP fascia system track; ensure your fascia is installed level to guarantee the soffit slips into the groove with ease. Regarding care, the factory-applied finish is highly durable. Periodic maintenance consists only of a light wash with warm, soapy water to remove accumulated dust or salt spray, helping to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the powder coating.
