FAQs
Can I paint this soffit board?
The boards come with a high-quality factory-applied finish. If you must paint them, ensure you use a primer specifically designed for aluminium surfaces.
What tools do I need to cut the aluminium?
A handsaw with a fine-toothed blade for metal or a power saw with a blade suitable for non-ferrous metals is recommended.
Is this product compatible with plastic fascias?
While it can be used, it is specifically designed to complement ARP aluminium fascia ranges. Ensure your fixing methods account for the different expansion rates of metal versus plastic.
Does the soffit provide ventilation?
This is a flat, solid profile. If your roof design requires ventilation, you must install separate eaves vents or ventilation strips.
How should these boards be stored before installation?
Store them flat in a dry, covered area to prevent bending or scratching of the finish.
Troubleshooting
Board is slightly wider than the required gap
Use a hacksaw or metal-cutting circular saw to trim the board to the exact required width, then file the cut edge smooth.
Visible gaps between lengths
Ensure cuts are perfectly square. If necessary, use a colour-matched professional sealant to create a seamless join between lengths.
Surface showing white oxidation spots
Lightly clean the area and inspect for environmental contaminants; if the coating is damaged, touch up with a manufacturer-approved aluminium paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard roofline framing. Ensure that the substrate is level before fixing the board. Use stainless steel fixings to prevent potential rust streaks or chemical reactions. For cleaning, periodically rinse the boards with water and a mild detergent solution to remove debris or bird droppings. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or strong solvents that could scratch or degrade the black factory-applied finish. When cutting the material to length, use a fine-toothed blade suitable for aluminium and smooth any rough edges with a metal file to ensure a clean finish at the joint points.
