What are the pros and cons of using composite wood non-rot fascia board?

Question

This is a fairly new product. The idea of not having to worry about rot again or not having to install bent alumininum over the fascia is attractive. But what are the disadvantages?
Also, what sort of fasteners are used?

Answer 1

Funny you should ask.... since you asked about fascia covers.
Have a place at the shore & there is a lot of renovation going on.
Exteriors are going on completely "paint free" because of the sun & salt air
Have seen something like Trex going up,.
Different than the "foam" exterior moldings which have been around for a while.
Contractors were using stainless anderson head finish screws (I asked).
Looks like the color goes all the way through to me.
They were hanging very long pieces & it can whip around & crack which should not be a problem with enough hands.
Probably too pricey for me, maybe next time
Best regards
