2mm Aluminium Fascia – Stopend | Type 1
2mm Aluminium Fascia – Stopend | Type 1
Where a fascia run terminates, whether at a wall abutment, a verge, or the end of a building, the open end of the fascia board needs to be capped off. Without a stopend, water gets behind the fascia, the cut edge of the aluminium is exposed, and the roofline looks unfinished. It is a small detail, but on a property where every other element of the roofline is powder coated and colour matched, an open fascia end stands out for all the wrong reasons.
A factory formed stopend closes the end of the fascia run cleanly. It matches the Type 1 profile exactly, is powder coated in the same RAL colour as the fascia lengths, and seals the termination point against water ingress. It takes seconds to fit and makes the difference between a finished installation and one that looks like it ran out of materials.
Product Overview
The 2mm aluminium fascia stopend from Online Metal Store Ltd is a factory formed end cap for the Type 1 fascia profile. It closes the open end of a Type 1 fascia 3m length wherever the fascia run terminates. Available in the same 14 depth options (150mm to 800mm) as the parent fascia, the stopend is custom fabricated at our Chelmsford, Essex workshop and powder coated in any RAL colour.
The stopend depth must match the depth of the fascia board it connects to. Order it in the same RAL colour as your fascia lengths, external corners and internal corners for a fully matched system. Browse the full fascia and soffits collection for all profiles and fittings.
Key Benefits
Seals the End of the Fascia Run
The stopend closes the open end of the fascia board, preventing water from getting behind the fascia and into the rafter tails or backing timber. Without a stopend, the termination point becomes a weak spot where moisture enters and causes rot or corrosion over time.
Factory Formed to Match the Type 1 Profile
The stopend matches the single bend, square edge face and top return of the Type 1 profile exactly. It sits flush against the end of the fascia board with no gaps, no misalignment and no need for site fabrication.
14 Depth Options
Available in every depth from 150mm to 800mm, matching the full range of Type 1 fascia sizes.
Powder Coated in Any RAL Colour
Every stopend is colour matched before dispatch, using the same RAL code as the fascia lengths and corner pieces for a consistent finish across the entire roofline.
UK Manufactured with Fast Turnaround
Every stopend is fabricated at our workshop in Chelmsford, Essex alongside the fascia lengths and other fittings.

How to Fit a Fascia Stopend
Position the stopend against the open end of the Type 1 fascia board at the termination point. Leave a 2 to 3mm expansion gap between the fascia end and the stopend. Fix the stopend to the backing timber with corrosion resistant screws.
Apply a bead of colour coded sealant around the joint between the stopend and the fascia for a weathertight, colour matched seal. Use colour coded fasteners for all visible fixings to maintain a consistent finish. The sealant is particularly important at stopend locations because they are often at wall abutments where water runs down the wall face and onto the fascia termination.
Where Fascia Stopends Are Used
Wall Abutments
The most common use of a stopend is where the fascia run terminates against a wall. On domestic extensions across Chelmsford, Brentwood, Basildon and the wider South East, the fascia typically meets the main building wall at each end of the extension roof. A stopend caps the fascia cleanly against the wall face.
Verge and Gable Ends
At the gable end of a pitched roof or the verge edge of a flat roof, the fascia run terminates. A stopend provides a finished edge that seals the fascia and gives the roofline a clean termination.
Commercial and Industrial Rooflines
On commercial buildings where the fascia meets a cladding panel, a fire break, or another change in material, a stopend provides the clean termination needed between different roofline elements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fascia stopend used for?
A stopend is a small end cap that closes the open end of a fascia board where the run terminates. It prevents water from getting behind the fascia, seals the exposed edge of the aluminium, and gives the roofline a finished appearance at every termination point.
Do I need a stopend on my aluminium fascia?
Yes. Every point where the fascia run ends needs a stopend. This includes wall abutments, verge edges, gable ends, and any other location where the fascia terminates. Without a stopend, water enters behind the fascia and the cut end of the aluminium is left exposed.
What size fascia stopend do I need?
The stopend depth must match the depth of the fascia board it caps. If your fascia lengths are 200mm deep, order a 200mm stopend. This product is available in the same 14 sizes (150mm to 800mm) as the parent Type 1 fascia.
How do you fit a fascia stopend?
Position the stopend against the end of the fascia board with a 2 to 3mm expansion gap. Fix to the backing timber with corrosion resistant screws. Seal the joint with colour coded sealant for a weathertight connection.
Can the stopend be colour matched to my fascia boards?
Yes. The stopend is powder coated in any RAL colour. Order it in the same RAL code as your fascia lengths and corners for a fully matched roofline.

Standards and Compliance
The powder coat finish is applied in line with BS EN 12206-1 for powder organic coatings on aluminium. Powder coated aluminium fascia and fittings achieve a fire classification of A2-s1,d0 under BS EN 13501-1, making them non-combustible and suitable for buildings of any height. Getting these details right protects the warranty, the building and the people inside it.
