Traditional building aesthetics can add much to the look of a house but shouldnt be to the detriment of the structure of the build. Open eaves details with exposed rafter feet may look historic but will require significant upkeep to maintain their weatherproofing from the elements. Modern eaves details are much more resilient but rely on fully boxing in the timbers with PVCu cladding to ensure weathertightness, this will ultimately hide the rafter feet from view.
The G750 Rafter Foot works in conjunction with a modern sloping soffit construction to simulate the aesthetic of an exposed rafter end with a mechanically fixed cladding dentil. The product is not only quick and easy to fix in position, but it is also suitable for a variety of soffit board materials. Fitting is possible either from above the soffit board or from below depending on the installer's preference using the secure screw mountings, helping to offer a fixing solution no matter the constraints of the detail.
Manufactured from white PVCu the product is smooth in appearance with all fixings being hidden from view, making it durable and suitable for all weather conditions without the need to repaint every few years.
Please note that these product properties are not a replacement for the manufacturer's literature and it is always recommended that Manthorpe Building Products Ltd is consulted before specifying.
