What Is a Roof Soffit? |
|
A soffit is the horizontal underside of a roof overhang, an archway, a staircase, a ceiling, or a similar architectural component.
From the Italian “soffitta” for under and “figgere,” to fix, the word “soffit” dates back to the days of early Palladian architecture.
Typical soffits on today’s houses include the flat area under the eaves where vents provide attic ventilation, the lower perimeter of a drop ceiling, and the ceiling mounted to the underside of a staircase.
