PVC Soffit Panels are pre-fabricated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) boards used to enclose the underside of roof overhangs (eaves) and other exposed roof elements. These panels provide ventilation, protection, and aesthetic appeal to the exterior of buildings. They are low-maintenance, weather-resistant, and often come in plain or ventilated profiles to support airflow into the attic.

PVC soffit panels are manufactured using:
uPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) for rigidity and durability
Additives for UV resistance, color stability, and fire retardancy
May be solid or hollow-core for weight reduction
