fascias

Horizontal trim pieces

Fascias is the plural of fascia, a word with two main branches.

In architecture and construction, fascias are the flat boards running along a roof's edge or covering the ends of rafters: The fascias need repainting before winter.

In anatomy, fascias (or fasciae) are the sheets of connective tissue that wrap muscles and organs.

Car dashboards are sometimes called fascias, especially in British English.
