Frequently Asked Questions
How often does timber fascia need maintenance?
Timber fascias typically require maintenance every 3-5 years, including cleaning, inspection for rot, and repainting or retreating. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent rot and extend lifespan. Well-maintained timber can last 25-35 years.
What timber treatment is best for fascias?
Pressure-treated softwood with tanalized treatment provides good rot resistance for exterior use. For premium applications, hardwoods like oak or cedar offer natural durability. All timber should be primed and painted with high-quality exterior paint for maximum protection.
