Gentek 12″ T-4 Center Vented Aluminum Soffit

Description

The Gentek 12″ T-4 Center Vented Aluminum Soffit is a Hi-Tensile aluminum soffit panel for roof overhangs that need attic ventilation. It closes in the eaves with clean, grooved lines and lets fresh air into the attic, where it works with ridge or roof vents to move out heat and moisture. We stock it in Twin Falls in 18 colors.

What It Is

Soffit is the paneling on the underside of the roof overhang. The “T-4″ name describes the profile: each 12” panel is formed into four smaller sections for a uniform, grooved look and added stiffness. The center-vented version has a strip of vent perforations down the middle, which gives balanced airflow while the rest of the panel stays solid-looking.

Material and Construction

• Gentek Hi-Tensile aluminum (alloy 3105 H28)
• Low-luster satin finish that resists blistering, flaking and peeling
• Aluminum won’t rot, split or warp from moisture
• Ventilation: 3.9 square inches of net free area per lineal foot (Gentek spec)

Primary Applications

• Eaves and roof overhangs over a ventilated attic
• New construction and re-roof/re-side projects
• Residential, multifamily and light commercial buildings

For porch ceilings and overhangs with no attic behind them, use solid soffit instead. We stock Gentek 12″ T-4 solid aluminum soffit in White, Black, Bronze and Musket Brown.

Key Benefits

Attic Ventilation
Vented soffit is the intake half of attic ventilation. Paired with ridge or roof exhaust vents, it helps limit summer heat buildup and winter moisture, frost and ice dams.

Durable and Low Maintenance
The baked-on finish never needs painting, and aluminum stands up to snowmelt and freeze-thaw cycles on the eaves.

Color-Matched Rooflines
Our Gentek aluminum soffit and 6″ fascia come in the same colors, and Gentek’s Color Clear Through® system coordinates them with its siding and trim.

Warranty
Gentek backs its Hi-Tensile aluminum soffit and fascia with a lifetime limited, non-prorated, transferable warranty.
