Aluminum Soffit

Up Aluminum Soffit Vinyl Soffit

SOFFIT THAT SAVES YOU TIME AND MONEY

Reynolds Building Products aluminum soffit protects your roof overhangs and porch ceilings from damaging excess moisture. It’s better than traditional wooden soffit because it doesn’t rot, split or warp and never peels, flakes or needs painting. It’s a simple way to avoid costly, complex repairs. Available in solid or vented panels to allow air to circulate through your attic for reduced heat build up, and evaporation of unwanted moisture.

 

TWO TOUGH CHOICES

Reynolds Building Products soffit systems are available in two protective finishes.

  • Reynolds Building Products Vinyl-Tuf® - a durable premium coating made of Plasticol that resists staining (D/6 style only)

  • Reynolds Building Products ReynoGuard™ - a tough stain and mar resistant finish

MIX OR MATCH TO YOUR TASTE

Your soffit system is available with solid or vented panels in a wide variety of colors and sizes that are designed to compliment your Reynolds Building Products aluminum siding.
