Soffit & Fascia Installation Tips
Using frieze runner channel:* (Refer to Figure 2)
1. FRIEZE RUNNER - Bottom edge of runner channel must be level and
aligned with the bottom surface of the fascia board. Using nailing flange of
channel, nail and install along the entire length of the wall surfaces and up
to gable peak on side wall.
2. SOFFIT PANELS - gable end - Start installation at the base of the gable
end working up to the peak as far as full panels will fit. Slide panels into
channel and secure into position using nails in panel grooves as required, to
under edge of fascia board. When both sides are done to this point, it may
be necessary to cut a panel, bend to match peak angle and rebend edges to
make interlocking jointings. Slide peak panel into position and nail.
2a. SOFFIT PANELS - other sides - Starting from one end, slide into channel
and secure into position using nails in panel grooves as required, to under
edge of fascia board. Continue panel installation for entire side.
3. FASCIA TRIM - Beginning at corners, cut and bend to form box (see Fig 2),
position up snug to underside of soffit panels, pre-drill (align with soffit
grooves) and nail through bottom lip of fascia trim every 36” along bottom
edge of fascia board. NEVER ‘face nail’ fascia. DO NOT drive nails tight —
fascia must be ‘hung’, only snug to soffit, to allow expansion and help
prevent distortion. Allow at least 1” overlap of fascia where lengths meet.
Cover balance of gable end with fascia trim and cut to make overlap joint at
peak.
4. FINISH TRIM - Use drip edge or all-purpose trim to cover and finish top
edge of fascia trim.
* If installing soffit panels over existing wood soffits, soffit ‘J’ channel can be
used in place of frieze runner.
