MANSARDS, SOFFITS, FASCIA & FRAMING
Customform roofing systems are complemented by a variety of mansard, soffit and fascia systems that ensure a seamless continuity of form and texture, and smooth transitions from plane to plane and from the roof to soffits, mansards and other building elements.

Customform mansard, soffit and fascia panels are factory-formed in 13 styles that offer distinctive profiles, a variety of standard dimensions, and custom measures. In addition, soffits are available perforated -- for ventilation in horizontal under-eave applications -- and nonperforated. All necessary trim can be supplied.

Customform framing systems in 16-, 18-, 20- and 22-gauge galvanized steel - factory-fabricated and certified in-house to meet your specifications - provide efficient, economical support for equipment screens, mansards, soffits and fascia.
