Fascia Profiles All fascias are made to order and as such the range of profiles is almost limitless. Whilst there are manufacturing constraints, anything can be considered.
Dales Sigma Fineline Fascias are individually pressed from sheet aluminium to create the appearance of a structural steel member.
Soffit Systems Aluminium Soffits are generally either planks or panels. Both planks and panels can be supplied with hidden fixing details.
Monocoque Support Dales introduced the unique monocoque bracket system that eliminates the need the multiple trimmers and carcass with a single bracket, allowing the full benefits of laser line accuracy to be utilised at eaves level.
Internal gutter configurations Provide a sleek and uninterrupted line to the eaves and allow more imaginative eaves profiles to be utilised, from straight forward vertical fascias to bullnoses, ellipses, trapezoidal profiles and many more.
External gutter configurations Provide a more traditional appearance to the eaves. Fascias are generally vertical, although other profiles are available, and can be utilised with any of the Dales standard gutter profiles.
Additional Options Ventilation, integration of lighting, off-site assembly
Aluminium Coping Systems
The Meridian coping system offers an attractive, low maintenance capping to parapet and perimeter walls. Designed to “snap” onto pre-fixed brackets, the system is simple to install yet both rigidly and secretly fixed.
Standard Coping Due to the water resistant joint detail utilised for the Meridian Coping System the profile does not need to slope in section. The standard section is particularly popular for gable parapet walls.
Weather-Struck Coping Sloped to replicate traditional stone and concrete capping systems.
Ridgeway Coping Sloped in two directions to replicate traditional stone and concrete capping systems.
Excel Aluminium Coping, this system has an alternative method of
Accessories A wide range of standard components are available, however Dales are able to offer purpose made components to suit individual project requirements.

Modern Ogee Range: The River Range of aluminium gutters were developed in response to customer demand for a contemporary version of the traditional ogee gutter profile.
Delta Box Range: The Box Range of aluminium gutters combines the low maintenance life expected of aluminium gutter systems with high capacities and comparatively low costs.
Nene Range: The Nene gutter system is an attractive heavy-duty aluminium system of elegant simplicity.
Torent Range: The wide throat of the Torent range of aluminium gutters makes it suitable for a large array of roof configurations, whilst the top-fix bracket design ensures a consistent line to the eaves.
Classic Range: The Classic Range has proven to be one of Dales’ most successful rainwater drainage systems.
HR Range: The HR Range offers the appearance of traditional half round systems but with much greater capacities.
Curved & Facetted Gutter Systems:
For curved roofs Dales offer a variety of solutions. Please contact our technical services department for further details.

Dales Fabrications Supply Shadex 260 Elliptical Solar Shade System to Bexley School
Shadex 260 Elliptical solar shade system in aluminium installed on £1.1 million renovation at Beths Grammar School, Bexley
A £1.1 million renovation at Beths Grammar School in Bexley, Greater London included a brand new and ultra-modern reception with full height glazing. Ingleton Wood LLP architects specified aluminium solar shading by Dales Fabrications with the Shadex 260 elliptical blade to reduce solar gain and solar glare. The Shadex 260 blade helped reduce costs because it is self-supporting up to 5m centres, making it ideal for the apex of the very large over-hanging canopy above the new main entrance. It was specified in combination with a low maintenance curved Aluminium Fascia Soffit and Meridian wall coping system, both manufactured by Dales.
Steve Hart, Senior Contracts Manager at Horizon Construction - the main contractor on the project - comments: "We have worked successfully with Dales Fabrications and Ingleton Wood LLP on this project and we're very pleased with the result.
