The fascia boards and eaves of Dutch homes take a beating. Our climate is changeable. We frequently experience heavy rain and hailstorms, wind, and storms. If the fascia boards are still made of wood, it's often wise to replace them. Trespa panels are often chosen in such cases. This is an excellent choice, but it is, of course, important that everything is attached correctly.
We see it go wrong in several ways, but the most common problems are with dormer windows. The Trespa panels are cold-mounted to the structure, leaving no room for ventilation. Ventilation is actually very important. This incorrect application of Trespa panels often causes moisture problems, which ultimately lead to mold growth. This is, of course, very detrimental to health.
Trespa panels can be screwed or glued. If it's important that the surface remains perfectly flat, then it's wise to choose an adhesive. If you choose to use screws, dirt can accumulate. Most problems with Trespa panels can be prevented by allowing sufficient space for ventilation. In addition, for optimal attachment, it's also important that the underlying structure is strong and durable enough.
