Smart Soffit's Durability Is Important In Our Green Homes
In our efforts to continue reviewing the standard features in our custom green homes, we’ll take a quick peek at smart soffit. This is a high performance, durability feature located on the span underneath the rafter rails. Aside from adding to the aesthetics of your home, they protect its exterior from pests, such as squirrels and birds. Soffit also keeps water from blowing into your home – a necessity in our region of high winds.
Some soffit is constructed with aluminum or wood, but synthetic ones, and those made from composite materials, are known for simple maintenance and durability. Some even offer protection from termites and fungal decay.
It should be noted that when you conduct your annual cleaning and inspection of your gutters, your smart soffit should be inspected, as well. Making sure everything is well painted and sealed is key to maintaining the integrity of your home. Should you have questions on this or any other standard feature in our custom homes in Oklahoma, we invite you to contact us at your convenience.
