Boxed or Closed Eaves are commonly used on houses with hip roofs. There are three standard eave overhangs: 450mm, 600mm and 750mm. Cemintel Eaves Lining Sheets are available in these widths. They’re installed onto a horizontal timber frame between the roof fascia and outer wall.
Angled Closed Eaves are where the lining is installed to the underside of the rafters. As a result, the lining is angled up, following the angle of the pitched roof until it meets the external wall.
Open eaves don’t have a lining. The rafters are left exposed. Neatly painted “rafter tails” are a decorative look which suits Hamptons style homes and farmhouses.
