Most UK homes still have uPVC fascias — affordable, low-maintenance, widely available. Aluminium is the premium alternative gaining popularity on architect-designed extensions and contemporary builds. Both significantly outlast painted timber.
Are aluminium fascias worth twice the price?
On a 40-year horizon, yes — you'll typically replace uPVC fascias twice in the same period. On a quick-sale property, uPVC is better value.
Do aluminium fascias rust?
No — aluminium doesn't rust. The powder-coat finish protects the metal beneath for decades.
Can I have aluminium fascias with uPVC guttering?
Yes, this is common and works well. The fascia is the visible element; the gutter behind can be uPVC for cost.
