Description
The Klauer 12 In. Center Vented Aluminum Soffit represents a professional‑grade roofline finishing solution crafted from durable aluminum. Klauer’s aluminum soffit panels protect attic and roof overhang areas from weather exposure and moisture infiltration while delivering a clean, professional exterior appearance. Klauer’s aluminum soffit line offers solid panels that provide continuous coverage under eaves, porches, and overhangs without vent perforations. Klauer Manufacturing
Klauer is a long‑standing manufacturer of metal building products, offering aluminum soffit and fascia in a variety of widths (typically 12″ and 16″ solid panels) and finishes that coordinate with exterior siding and trim palettes.
Material and Construction
These solid soffit panels are made from painted aluminum, usually .019″ thickness (standard for many soffit applications), delivering excellent durability against the elements, corrosion resistance, and long‑term color stability. Aluminum soffit resists rot, warping, and deterioration better than wood alternatives and significantly outperforms many vinyl products in dimensional stability.
Key Attributes:
-
High‑quality aluminum panel: strong, lightweight, and weather resistant.
-
Solid configuration: smooth, uninterrupted coverage for overhang areas where ventilation is not required.
-
Painted finish: durable, low‑gloss finish with resistance to fading and chalking.
-
Multiple widths available: commonly in 12″ (and 16″) panels to meet project design needs.
Typical Applications
Klauer solid aluminum soffit panels are designed for use in:
-
Roof overhangs/soffit areas under exterior eaves
-
Porch ceilings and roofline finishes
-
Under bay windows or architectural projections
-
Any exterior soffit application where solid (non‑vented) coverage is specified
These panels help protect the underlying structure from moisture and weather infiltration while contributing to a cohesive exterior aesthetic.
Benefits for Builders, Contractors & Remodelers
Durability and Weather Resistance
Aluminum soffit resists corrosion, rot, and insect damage common to wood products and avoids deformation that can occur with lower‑grade materials. This extends service life and reduces the need for frequent replacement or maintenance.
Low Maintenance
The painted aluminum surface requires minimal upkeep — occasional rinsing is typically all that’s needed to maintain a professional exterior look through years of service.
Consistent Appearance
Solid panels provide a smooth, uniform look under eaves and overhangs, suitable for new construction or exterior renovation projects where a refined finish is desired.
Compatibility and Accessories
Klauer soffit panels integrate with industry‑standard soffit trim, fascia, and channel accessories. Available in solid panels where ventilation is not needed, these soffit panels pair with vented options in Klauer’s product family to achieve the desired ventilation strategy for the attic space.
