Fascia

The vertical trim board attached to the ends of the roof rafters at the eave.

Definition

Fascia is the vertical trim board attached to the ends of the roof rafters where the eave meets the exterior wall. It provides a finished look to the roof edge, supports the gutter system, and protects the roof structure from water intrusion. Fascia is typically made of wood, composite, or aluminum and is sometimes wrapped in aluminum for low maintenance.
