Fascia - Stair Framing And Building

Fascia is often referred to in the building industry as a piece of wood trim, surrounding the perimeter of a roof, balcony, deck or stairway. It can also be painted or stained.

The most common use for fascia board in the home building industry today, is used around the perimeter of a roof. This term can also be used to represent a wood band around a column or post.

You're rarely going to find a piece of fascia on an interior stairway. Most finish carpenters will refer to it as a wood band or trim. Like many other words in the construction industry, there's usually more than one word used by professionals, to describe each process, method or parts use for a building.
