Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 175mm Fascia Capping Board in Anthracite Grey woodgrain is ideal for homeowners and contractors looking to modernize rooflines or window boards by covering weathered timber with a durable, low-maintenance UPVC solution. Its primary benefit is providing a sleek, long-lasting aesthetic upgrade without the need for constant painting or wood treatment; however, it is essential to note that these boards require a solid substrate, such as an existing timber fascia or a new backing board, for proper structural support.

FAQs

Can I install these boards directly onto masonry?

No, these boards are designed for covering existing timber or require a solid timber backing board for support.

What is the correct nail spacing for this board?

For woodgrain finishes, nails must be spaced no further than 400mm apart.

How do I cut these to the correct length?

You can cut the boards using a standard fine-toothed hand saw or a power saw with a blade suitable for plastic.

Are these boards suitable for heavy-duty structural support?

No, these are capping boards intended for decorative and protective finish; they are not structural.

How should I clean the Anthracite Grey finish?

Use a soft cloth and a mixture of mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals.

What length are these boards supplied in?

The boards are supplied in standard 5-meter lengths.

Troubleshooting

Board appearing wavy after installation

Check that the nails were not over-driven and ensure the 400mm spacing requirement is strictly followed.

Difficulty achieving a clean cut

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw and ensure the board is firmly supported along the cutting line to prevent vibration.

Gaps appearing at joints

Ensure the boards are not fixed too tightly to each other to allow for natural thermal expansion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, long-lasting UPVC material
  • Sophisticated woodgrain aesthetic
  • Minimal maintenance required
  • Easy to cut and fit on-site
  • Resistant to UV fading and weathering

Cons

  • Requires a solid timber backing board
  • Not suitable for load-bearing applications
  • Woodgrain finish requires specific nail spacing to prevent buckling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For a secure installation, use 50mm Polytop nails specifically designed for exterior plastic boards. To accommodate the movement of the material, ensure nails are spaced no further than 400mm apart. For the care of the board, simply clean the surface periodically with a mild detergent and water to remove debris and pollutants. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvent-based chemicals, which can damage the woodgrain texture. If the board needs to be trimmed to size, use a fine-toothed saw to ensure clean, splinter-free edges.
