2mm Aluminium Fascia – Stopend | Type 4

Where a Type 4 fascia run terminates, the stopend needs to close off the face, the top return, and the reverse L-return at the bottom. That is four edges to seal, the most of any standard fascia profile. Without a properly formed Type 4 stopend, the open end of the reverse L-return is left exposed, the soffit has nothing to engage with at the termination, and the most enclosed fascia profile in the range is left open at its most vulnerable point.

A factory formed Type 4 stopend caps the full four bend profile in one piece. It closes the face, the top return and the reverse L-return, keeping the enclosed eaves box intact right to the end of the run. Powder coated in the same RAL colour as the fascia lengths, it seals the termination against water ingress. On buildings across Chelmsford, Brentwood, Basildon and the wider South East, it is the detail that completes every Type 4 fascia run properly.

Product Overview

The 2mm aluminium fascia stopend from Online Metal Store Ltd is a factory formed end cap for the Type 4 fascia profile. It closes the open end of a Type 4 fascia 2.5m length wherever the fascia run terminates, capping the face, the top return, and the reverse L-return. Available in the same 14 depth options (150mm to 800mm), powder coated in any RAL colour.

The stopend depth must match the fascia board it connects to. Order in the same RAL colour as your fascia lengths, external corners and internal corners. If your roofline uses a simpler profile, see the Type 1 stopend, Type 2 stopend, or Type 3 stopend. Browse the full fascia and soffits collection.

Key Benefits

Caps the Full Four Bend Reverse L-Return Profile

The stopend closes the face, the top return, and the reverse L-return, sealing the entire four bend profile at the termination. The enclosed eaves box stays intact right to the end of the run.

Prevents Water Ingress at the Termination

Stopend locations at wall abutments are vulnerable points. The Type 4 stopend seals all four profile edges, including the reverse L-return where water would otherwise enter behind the fascia.

14 Depth Options

Available in every depth from 150mm to 800mm.

Powder Coated in Any RAL Colour

Every stopend is colour matched before dispatch.

How to Fit a Type 4 Fascia Stopend

Position the stopend against the open end of the Type 4 fascia board at the termination point. The stopend should cap the face, top return, and reverse L-return, fully enclosing the four bend profile. Leave a 2 to 3mm expansion gap. Fix to the backing timber with corrosion resistant screws.

Apply a bead of colour coded sealant around the joint, paying particular attention to the reverse L-return joint at the bottom where water can collect and enter if the seal is incomplete. Use colour coded fasteners for all visible fixings.

Where Type 4 Fascia Stopends Are Used

Wall Abutments

Where the Type 4 fascia run terminates against the main building wall. On domestic extensions across Chelmsford, Brentwood, Basildon and the South East.

Verge and Gable Ends

At gable ends and verge edges. The stopend caps the full four bend profile at the roof edge.

Commercial and Exposed Rooflines

On commercial buildings and exposed locations where the Type 4 reverse L-return is specified for maximum soffit enclosure and wind resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Type 4 fascia stopend?

An end cap that closes the open end of a Type 4 fascia board, capping the face, the top return, and the reverse L-return. It seals all four bends at the termination. Compare with the Type 1 stopend (single bend), Type 2 stopend (two bend), and Type 3 stopend (three bend U-return).

Do I need a stopend on my Type 4 fascia?

Yes. Every termination point needs a stopend. Without it, the face, top return, and reverse L-return are all left open.

What size Type 4 fascia stopend do I need?

The stopend depth must match the fascia board. Available in the same 14 sizes (150mm to 800mm).

How do you fit a Type 4 fascia stopend?

Position against the fascia end with a 2 to 3mm gap. Fix to backing timber. Seal with colour coded sealant, paying particular attention to the reverse L-return joint at the bottom.

Can the Type 4 stopend be colour matched?

Yes. Powder coated in any RAL colour.
