Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 175mm Ogee Fascia Board is an ideal solution for homeowners and professional contractors seeking a decorative, low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber fascias. Featuring a distinct concave moulding and elegant grooves, these 18mm thick UPVC boards provide both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal, eliminating the need for separate backing boards. While they offer exceptional durability, they require precise installation techniques to ensure proper alignment and support at the rafter feet.

FAQs

Do I need to install a backing board with these fascias?

No, these 18mm thick Ogee boards are structural and designed to be installed directly onto rafter feet.

What is the recommended nail spacing?

Fixing points should be spaced at a maximum of 600mm, with 2 x 65mm polytop nails used at every rafter.

Can this be used on new build projects?

Yes, although originally intended as a replacement for timber, the Ogee profile is now commonly specified for new build homes.

What size soffit board fits the rebate?

The board features a rebate designed to accept standard soffit boards; ensure your soffit board matches the thickness compatible with the rebate depth.

How do I maintain the finish?

Clean the boards periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid solvent-based cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Board appears bowed or wavy

Verify that rafter spacings do not exceed 600mm and that fixings were placed at every rafter.

Soffit board does not fit into the rebate

Check that the soffit board is the correct thickness and that the fascia board is level; ensure no debris is trapped in the rebate.

Nail heads are visible or causing damage

Ensure the use of 65mm polytop nails specifically designed for UPVC, which have color-matched caps and flat heads to avoid surface stress.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds decorative visual interest compared to standard flat boards
  • No backing board required, saving on materials and installation time
  • Suitable for both renovation projects and new build construction
  • High-quality UPVC construction ensures longevity
  • Easy to integrate with existing soffit systems via the rebated leg

Cons

  • Requires careful measurement to ensure correct alignment with rafter feet
  • Specific fixing requirements (2 x 65mm polytop nails) must be strictly followed
  • Limited to specific architectural styles due to the decorative profile

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard carpentry tools and specific attention to fixing points. Ensure that you use exactly 2 x 65mm polytop nails at every rafter foot to ensure the board remains secure against thermal expansion and contraction. The maximum span between rafter fixings must not exceed 600mm. For care, simply wash down the boards annually with warm soapy water to remove accumulated dirt or algae. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could damage the UV-resistant finish of the UPVC.
