The fascia board underneath the gutter can be covered with aluminum (which requires a brake to bend), a new kind of rolled plastic found in home centers (which also requires a brake to bend), or plastic facia which is found in the siding section. Which is best and why? What fasteners are used?

If it is going under a gutter & you can stand a joint or 2 , have used a vinyl fascia cover which comes in 12' lengths.
Not wanting to rent a brake I used some I found in a lumber yard that was the exact 8" width I needed
It is slightly textured & has a rolled lip which clips over the bottom edge of the fascia board
Also found some in a Home Depot that I think was wider, but same idea .
I nailed it up w/ white aluminum trim nails & a little white caulk behind the butt joints.
With a little fiddling & some white gutter caulking was able to get fairly clean looking ends by putting a miter cut in the lip & bending.
Has been up for a while on garage & remains cleaner than the aluminum wrapped fascia on house.
Best regards

I haven't ever done physics past having to take science at school but I imagine it is because the wood has a 3d surface with lots of indents etc but when you cover it in cling film it is a smooth surface without the added area of all the 3D parts....I think that is right but I don't know how you can write it in a physics way sorry
