You can have a non-ventilated or ventilated Soffit for cooling in a non-livable attic space. This will give your home a fresh positive airflow especially if you receive aluminum Soffit, which has the benefit of being resilient against those cold and extreme Canadian winters. Aluminum Soffit is durable to wind, snow, rain and time, requiring little to no maintenance.
Replacing an old and outdated Soffit is crucial, as your home needs proper ventilation, allowing your building to breathe and have positive airflow. Installing Soffit limits the moisture that enters through the vent, keeping your house protected through the seasons. Ventilation is extremely important for airflow to your attic, as it helps preserve the wood and insulation in your attic which will keep your shingles from cracking pre-emptively.
Fascia is wood, polyvinyl chloride or aluminum siding that appears on the side of the roof connecting the Soffit to the exterior of the wall. It is part of that creates a barrier between the outside and the edge of the roof, providing protection to your home. Fascia is typically installed beneath the roofline and the gutters. Just like the roof, strong Fascia is an important part of any modern home.
It is important to know that if your home has old style wooden Soffit and Fascia, that it is recommended that you replace it with Soffit and clad Fascia (in aluminium) which will increase air ventilation and also decrease your need for maintenance. You will no longer have to paint AND, this will greatly increase life of your roof.
