How do Bargeboards work?

The word “bargeboard,” which is also occasionally spelt “barge board,” describes a wooden board that is used on the gable end or apex of a building’s roof. These boards, which are frequently ornamental in design, support the weight of the roof tiles as well as the cement that caps the roof’s edges. Profiled bargeboards are a decorative element seen on certain homes. But the majority only have a simple gloss-painted timber board.

Because these boards are situated on the edge of the roof and are exposed to rain, particularly driving rain, they are vulnerable to rot and deterioration. This frequently results in flaking or peeling paint, necessitating board replacement or repair. The boards that are attached to a roof’s protruding gables are called bargeboards, sometimes known as verge boards. These provide the roof its strength and shield the ends of the timbers that are fastened to the roof from the elements.

What do bargeboards serve as?

To add strength and protection, bargeboards are attached to a roof’s protruding gables. Additionally, they enhance the aesthetics of your property by hiding any exposed wood that they are linked to. In summary, bargeboards protect the timbers behind them and add aesthetic value to your roof structure.

What distinguishes a Fascia from a bargeboard?

Fascias and bargeboards are two distinct features on a home. A long, straight plank called a fascia extends along the bottom border of a roof. It attaches to the bottom of your roof trusses and is strong enough to hold all of your gutters in place while supporting the lowest row of tiles. Conversely, a house’s gable end is where bargeboards are employed. Bargeboards come in a variety of eye-catching shapes and may really make a property seem great.
