Alutec will be highlighting the latest additions to its innovative soffit and fascia range at this year’s Ecobuild exhibition, offering specifiers an even wider choice of attractive and sustainable eaves systems.
The extended range now includes a curved profile fascia and a planked soffit system. The curved fascia gives specifiers the option of a softer profile, perfect for those seeking an alternative to the traditional angular design. The new planked soffit system accurately reproduces the historic shiplap aesthetic, ideal for those requiring a more traditional look.
The extended range will be showcased on stand S1612 at Ecobuild, where visitors will also be able to view installation demonstrations – showing just how fast the system is to install or customise onsite. For anyone with an upcoming project, the event is the ideal opportunity to get to grips with Alutec’s soffit and fascia products, as well as the Evolve, Aligator and Traditional rainwater ranges.
The soffit and fascia range is available in hundreds of colours, of which nine are available from stock and can all be colour matched to any Alutec rainwater system.
The product is virtually maintenance free, as the high quality fade resistant PVDF paint finish is one of the most stable and long lasting available, while the incorporation of a nano self-cleaning additive resists the build up of dust, grime and moss.
Manufactured to meet the highest standards of durability and reliability, Alutec’s soffit and fascia range has been designed as a lightweight alternative to PVC or sheet aluminium solutions. Comprising a recycled polyethylene core, with an aluminium outer skin, the system is extremely durable, with a life expectancy of 50 years or more.
These excellent performance benefits are further bolstered by the fact that at the end of its exceptionally long life span, the entire system is fully recyclable. The core is made from non-toxic recycled polyethylene, while the aluminium skin is also 100% recyclable.
Thanks to the layered integral structure, the Alutec range is also extremely strong – yet it is only 4mm thick and in most cases does not require a backing board. This simplifies the installation process, reduces costs and makes the product perfect for fitting over existing wood or PVC systems without reducing tile overhang.
Bob Randall, Managing Director of Alutec, commented: “Our customers have told us that in addition to meeting high standards of sustainable performance, they want products that offer a wide range of aesthetic choice.
"We’ve listened to that feedback and have revised our product offering to reflect it, continuing to invest heavily in the production of innovative aluminium rainwater and eaves solutions that meet market requirements. We believe that the combination of low whole-life costs, responsible sourcing and environmental performance, really does make Alutec’s products the most cost-effective and sustainable choice available in the UK today.”
