Fascia (/ ˈ f eɪ ʃ ə /) is an architectural term for a vertical frieze or band under a roof edge, or which forms the outer surface of a cornice, visible to an observer. [ 1 ] Typically consisting of a wooden board, unplasticized PVC (uPVC), or non-corrosive sheet metal, many of the non-domestic fascias made of stone form an ornately carved ...
However, the manufacturer's instructions for the Ideal no. 65 Twister [19] only recommends pre-twisting the wires, and does not state it is required. Also, the instructions do not mention physically abrading the wires as recommended by the CPSC, although the manufacturer current literature states the pre-filled "compound cuts aluminum oxide".
In earlier days, birch bark was occasionally used as a flashing material. [7] Most flashing materials today are metal, plastic, rubber, or impregnated paper. [8]Metal flashing materials include lead, aluminium, copper, [1] stainless steel, zinc alloy, other architectural metals or a metal with a coating such as galvanized steel, lead-coated copper, anodized aluminium, terne-coated copper ...
Eaves of a house in Northern Australia.The white underside would be referred to as a soffit. In this example the soffit is fixed to the slope of the rafters.The dark grey fascia boards form the outer edge and have a groove to receive the soffit lining sheets which cover the rafter tails.
Installation was a single process and didn't require heat. [26] They could be attached directly to the fascia board. Cast iron gutters are still specified for restoration work in conservation areas , but are usually replaced with cast aluminium made to the same profile.
Metal roofs are 100% recyclable and can be made from other recycled products. Asphalt shingles are petroleum based with other chemicals making their recycling process more toxic, most shingles are not recycled and 20 billion pounds (9.1 million tonnes) are sent to landfills every year and take hundreds of years to decompose.
Aluminum-silicon phase diagram. Aluminum forms a eutectic with silicon, which is at 577 °C, with a Si content of 12.5% [7] or 12.6%. [8] Up to 1.65% Si can be dissolved in aluminum at this temperature. However, the solubility decreases rapidly with temperature. At 500 °C it is still 0.8% Si, at 400 °C 0.3% Si and at 250 °C only 0.05% Si.
Ground mounts are normally consist of steel held in concrete with aluminum rails holding up aluminum modules. There are ground mounts at the residential and commercial levels, but the systems are simply smaller and the number of PV modules per column may be less (e.g. 3). [13]
