9mm Soffit Board 5m | Showcase Plastics

This 9mm soffit board is a plain, flat uPVC board supplied in 5 metre lengths. It lines the underside of the eaves between the fascia and the wall, closing the roofline with a smooth, even face.

A 9mm soffit board is 9mm thick, solid and flat not a hollow tongue-and-groove sheet. It has one sawn edge and one finished edge, so it can be cut to the correct eaves width on site. Use it with matching fascia and guttering for a clean, continuous finish that does not need painting.

If the existing timber fascia is being capped or replaced, this 9mm soffit board is the standard flat board for the underside of the eaves. Where the roof needs built-in eaves ventilation, use a vented soffit or add circular soffit vents instead.

Also known as: plain soffit, flat soffit board, solid soffit, utility soffit, 9mm flat board, non-vented soffit.

Measure from the back of the fascia to the wall in more than one place. Old timber eaves are rarely consistent. Choose a 9mm soffit board width that covers the gap cleanly into the fascia groove or trim.

What a 9mm soffit board does

The soffit is the underside of the eaves. A 9mm soffit board:

  • closes the gap between fascia and brickwork
  • finishes the line of the gutter and fascia
  • helps keep birds and weather out of the eaves void
  • can take circular soffit vents if extra airflow is added later

Timber soffits need regular painting and can cup or stain. A uPVC 9mm soffit board stays stable when it is properly supported on soffit bearers or fixed into the fascia system.

How to install a 9mm soffit board

  1. Confirm whether the roof needs eaves ventilation. If it does, use vented board or add vents — do not rely on a plain 9mm soffit board alone on an unventilated cold roof.
  2. Measure eaves width in several places.
  3. Support the 9mm soffit board on bearers or noggins at sensible centres so the face stays flat.
  4. Offer the finished edge to the visible line; use the sawn edge against the wall or into a cover trim.
  5. Fix with suitable polytop pins or screws without overdriving the face.
  6. Allow for expansion on long runs, especially in darker colours.
  7. Line through with fascia and gutter so the roofline reads as one.
  8. Wipe clean. No primer. No paint.

Frequently asked questions

What is a 9mm soffit board?
A 9mm soffit board is a flat uPVC board that lines the underside of the eaves. This version is plain (no built-in vents), 9mm thick and supplied in 5m lengths.

Is a 9mm soffit board the same as hollow soffit?
No. This 9mm soffit board is a solid flat board. Hollow soffit is a lighter tongue-and-groove product.

Does a 9mm soffit board ventilate the roof?
Not on its own. Use vented soffit or separate vents if the roof needs an eaves air path.

Why does it have one sawn edge and one finished edge?
So the board can be ripped to width: the finished edge stays visible, and the sawn edge sits against the wall or into a trim.

Can I paint a 9mm soffit board?
No need. uPVC is wipe-clean and colour-stable.

How many 9mm soffit board lengths do I need?
Measure the eaves run, add corners and at least 10% waste, then divide by 5. Send a sketch if you want a take-off check.

Do you cut boards to width?
We supply 5m lengths designed to be cut to the eaves width. Ask us which widths are in stock.

Do you fit as well as supply?
Yes — supply and fit across our Essex and London-border area.

Collection or delivery?
Both. Counter at Heybridge Industrial Estate, Maldon CM9 4XL.
