Soffit

The underside of an eave, overhang or projection.

A soffit is the exposed underside of a building element - most commonly the eave overhang, but also the underside of a balcony, canopy or porch. Soffits are weather-exposed without the run-off a wall gets, which is why timber soffits weather and rot.

Aluminium soffit linings stay flat and will not rot, and on bushfire-prone land a non-combustible soffit protects a vulnerable part of the building.
