Full details
The ARP Aluminium Soffit Flat Profile is designed for homeowners and professional contractors seeking a durable, long-lasting solution to finish roofline installations. It effectively seals the gap between the fascia board and the building wall, providing a clean, aesthetic look while offering robust protection for the eaves. While it offers superior structural integrity compared to plastic alternatives, it requires precise cutting and careful handling to prevent scratching during installation.

FAQs
Can I paint these aluminium soffit boards?
The boards come with a high-quality pre-finished grey coating. If you choose to repaint, ensure you use a suitable metal primer and exterior-grade topcoat.
What tools are needed to cut the boards?
Use a fine-toothed hand saw or an electric chop saw equipped with a blade designed specifically for non-ferrous metals.
Are these boards compatible with non-ARP fascia systems?
While designed to complement ARP aluminium fascia, they can be used with other systems provided the dimensions match your specific requirements.
How do I secure these boards to the soffit tray?
Use compatible stainless steel or color-matched aluminium fasteners to prevent galvanic corrosion.
What is the primary benefit of aluminium over uPVC?
Aluminium is significantly more rigid, resistant to heat distortion, and offers a longer service life with less risk of cracking.
Troubleshooting
Board does not fit perfectly against the wall
Check the wall for irregularities or debris. You may need to scribe the aluminium board to match the wall profile.
Surface finish scratched during installation
Apply a touch-up paint specifically formulated for the grey aluminium coating to prevent oxidation on the exposed metal.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High structural strength compared to uPVC soffits
- Excellent resistance to weathering and corrosion
- Professional, clean finish for roofline projects
- Long-term low maintenance requirements
Cons
- Requires careful cutting to avoid damaging the finish
- Higher initial material cost than plastic counterparts
- Not flexible, so walls must be plumb for a perfect seal
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For successful installation, ensure that the timber or substructure is level. The boards can be cut to size using a fine-toothed hacksaw or a circular saw with a non-ferrous metal blade. When fixing the boards, use appropriate high-quality, corrosion-resistant fasteners to match the aluminium profile. To maintain the finish, periodically wash the boards with warm soapy water to remove accumulated grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or steel wool, as these can damage the grey protective coating.
