2mm Aluminium Fascia – Internal Joiner | Type 4

Wherever two Type 2 fascia board lengths meet along a roofline run, the joint needs to be bridged and covered. On a two bend profile, the joint is more visible than on a simpler single bend fascia because both the face and the bottom return lip need to align precisely across the gap. Without a joiner, the expansion gap between lengths interrupts the continuous profile, collects dirt, and creates a visible break in the colour line.

The Type 2 internal joiner sits behind the fascia boards, bridging the expansion gap and holding both lengths in alignment across both bends. A colour matched joint cover is then bonded over the front face for a flush, seamless finish. It is the smallest and cheapest fitting in the Type 2 system, but you need one at every joint along the run.

Product Overview

The 2mm aluminium fascia internal joiner from Online Metal Store Ltd is a connection piece for the Type 2 fascia profile. It bridges the expansion gap between two Type 2 fascia 3m lengths, holding them in alignment while allowing for thermal movement. The joiner maintains the two bend profile (top return and bottom return lip) across the joint, keeping the enclosed eaves box detail continuous. Available in the same 14 depth options (150mm to 800mm) as the parent fascia, powder coated in any RAL colour.

You will need one joiner for every joint between fascia lengths. On a 9 metre fascia run using three 3 metre lengths, you need two joiners. Order the joiner in the same RAL colour and depth as your fascia lengths, external corners, internal corners and stopends for a fully matched system. If your roofline uses the simpler single bend profile, see the Type 1 joiner instead.

Key Benefits

Maintains the Two Bend Profile Across the Joint

The joiner bridges the expansion gap behind both the face and the bottom return lip of the Type 2 profile. This keeps the soffit engagement continuous across the joint and prevents the two fascia lengths from misaligning at either bend point.

Allows for Thermal Expansion

Aluminium expands and contracts with temperature changes. The joiner allows the fascia lengths to move within the joint without buckling or distorting. A 3mm expansion gap between lengths is standard, and the joiner bridges this gap while permitting movement.

14 Depth Options

Available in every depth from 150mm to 800mm to match the full range of Type 2 fascia sizes.

Powder Coated in Any RAL Colour

Every joiner is colour matched before dispatch, using the same RAL code as the fascia lengths and other fittings.

UK Manufactured

Fabricated at our workshop in Chelmsford, Essex alongside the fascia lengths and other fittings.

How to Fit a Type 2 Fascia Internal Joiner

Position the first Type 2 fascia 3m length and fix it to the rafter tails or backing timber. Slide the joiner onto the end of the first board so that it sits behind the fascia face and engages with the bottom return lip. Butt the second fascia length up against the first, leaving a 3mm expansion gap. The joiner bridges this gap behind both bends, holding the two lengths in alignment.

Bond a colour matched joint cover over the front face of the joint using low modulus silicone sealant. Apply a bead of colour coded sealant around the joint for a weathertight finish. The joint cover conceals the expansion gap and gives the fascia run a continuous appearance across both bends of the Type 2 profile.

How Many Type 2 Fascia Joiners Do I Need?

One joiner for every joint between fascia lengths in a continuous straight run. Count the number of 3 metre lengths and subtract one.

  • 6m run (2 lengths): 1 joiner

  • 9m run (3 lengths): 2 joiners

  • 12m run (4 lengths): 3 joiners

  • 15m run (5 lengths): 4 joiners

Each corner and stopend is a separate fitting. The joiner is only used where two fascia lengths meet in a straight run.

Where Type 2 Fascia Joiners Are Used

Every Straight Type 2 Fascia Run Over 3 Metres

Any Type 2 fascia roofline longer than 3 metres needs at least one joiner. On domestic properties across Chelmsford, Brentwood, Colchester and the South East, a typical front elevation might need two or three. On longer commercial runs, the count increases accordingly.

Renovation and Timber Replacement

When replacing old timber fascia with Type 2 aluminium, the joiners are essential. They are easy to overlook when measuring up, so always count the joints before placing your order.

Commercial Rooflines

On commercial buildings with long, continuous Type 2 fascia runs, the number of joiners adds up. Ordering the correct quantity upfront avoids delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Type 2 fascia joiner used for?

A Type 2 fascia joiner is a connection piece that bridges the expansion gap between two Type 2 fascia board lengths in a straight run. It sits behind the fascia, maintaining alignment across both bends (top return and bottom return lip). A colour matched joint cover is bonded over the front for a seamless finish. Compare with the Type 1 joiner which bridges a single bend profile.

How many Type 2 fascia joiners do I need?

One joiner for every joint between fascia lengths. Count the number of 3m lengths in a continuous run and subtract one. A 9m run needs 2 joiners, a 12m run needs 3, and so on.

What size Type 2 fascia joiner do I need?

The joiner depth must match the depth of the fascia boards it connects. If your Type 2 fascia lengths are 200mm deep, order a 200mm joiner. Available in the same 14 sizes (150mm to 800mm).

How do you fit a Type 2 fascia joiner?

Slide the joiner onto the end of the first fascia board so it sits behind the face and engages with the bottom return lip. Butt the second board up with a 3mm gap. Bond a joint cover over the front with low modulus silicone. Seal with colour coded sealant.

Can the Type 2 joiner be colour matched?

Yes. Powder coated in any RAL colour. Order in the same RAL code as your Type 2 fascia lengths, corners and stopends for a fully matched roofline.
