Facia
Facia is a term that can refer to various concepts in different fields, including architecture, automotive design, and anatomy. This article explores the different contexts in which the term "facia" is used.
Architecture[edit | edit source]
In architecture, a facia (also spelled fascia) is a horizontal band or strip of material that is typically found at the edge of a roof. It is used to cover the ends of the roof rafters and can also support the lower edge of the bottom row of tiles. The facia is an important element in the eaves of a building, providing a finished look and helping to protect the structure from weather damage.
