FAQs

What is this uPVC capping board used for?

It's used for capping over existing timber fascia, roofline edges, and soffits. It can also be used internally for window sill covering, window reveal lining, and boxing in pipework or cables.

Does it come with fixings?

No, fixings such as screws or adhesive are not included. These will need to be purchased separately and should be compatible with uPVC.

How do I clean the capping board?

Cleaning is simple. Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Is the Golden Oak finish durable?

Yes, the Golden Oak woodgrain is a durable laminated foil that is UV-resistant and designed to withstand weather, requiring no painting or staining.

Can I use this board externally and internally?

Yes, this uPVC capping board is suitable for both internal and external applications.

What are the dimensions of this specific board?

This particular board is 250mm wide and 1.5m long, with a thickness of 9mm.

Are end caps included?

Yes, each board comes with one pair of matching end caps to provide a clean finish for the edges.

Troubleshooting

Board is not adhering properly

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a high-quality, weather-resistant adhesive specifically designed for uPVC and exterior use. Ensure adequate pressure is applied during installation and allow sufficient curing time.

Cuts are not clean or are chipping

Use a fine-tooth saw blade specifically designed for cutting uPVC or plastic. Ensure the blade is sharp and make slow, steady cuts to prevent chipping or splintering. A mitre saw can provide cleaner, more accurate cuts.

End caps do not fit securely

Ensure the correct end caps for this specific board width (250mm) are being used. A small amount of uPVC-compatible adhesive can help secure the end caps in place after sliding them on.

Appearance of the woodgrain foil is damaged

Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. If minor scratches occur, they may be difficult to repair without affecting the appearance. Consider using a woodgrain repair pen for very minor blemishes, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

  • Realistic woodgrain effect for aesthetic appeal.
  • Includes matching end caps for a complete finish.
  • Versatile for both internal and external applications.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Measure and Cut: Measure the required length for your application. Use a fine-tooth saw or uPVC cutting tool to trim the board to size. Ensure cuts are straight for a clean finish.
  2. Prepare Surface: Ensure the surface you are applying the capping board to is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris.
  3. Apply Adhesive/Fixings: Apply a suitable exterior-grade adhesive along the back of the board or along the surface to be covered. Alternatively, use appropriate screws (not included) for fixing. Ensure fixings are compatible with uPVC and the substrate.
  4. Install Board: Press the board firmly into place, aligning it with the edge or surface. If using adhesive, allow adequate drying time as per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  5. Attach End Caps: Once the board is securely in place, apply adhesive to the inside of the matching end caps and slide them onto the exposed ends of the capping board for a neat finish.

Compatibility:

This capping board is designed to be applied over existing timber fascia, roofline edges, soffits, window sills, or for boxing in pipework and cable covers. It is compatible with standard building adhesives and fixings suitable for uPVC and external/internal use.

Care:

To maintain the appearance of the Golden Oak woodgrain finish, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the foil finish.
