Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 10mm Fascia Capping Board in Black Ash Woodgrain is an ideal solution for contractors and homeowners looking to renovate existing timber fascias or provide a finished look to new build installations. Its primary benefit is the durable, low-maintenance UPVC construction which offers a high-end woodgrain aesthetic without the risk of rotting or peeling. A key caveat is that for new builds, this board must be supported by a 25mm thick timber backing board to ensure structural integrity.

FAQs

Can I install this directly onto rafters?

No, this is a capping board. It should be installed over existing timber fascias or a 25mm timber backing board.

What is the internal depth of this board?

The internal coverage depth is 30mm.

How many nails do I need for a 5m length?

You should use approximately 26 nails per 5m length, spaced no more than 400mm apart.

Does the woodgrain finish fade in the sun?

The UPVC is designed for external use with high color stability, though periodic cleaning will help maintain its appearance.

What type of nails should be used?

You should use 50mm Polytop nails to ensure weather resistance and color matching.

Is this product suitable for coastal areas?

Yes, the UPVC construction is highly resistant to salt spray and corrosion compared to traditional timber.

Troubleshooting

Board bowing between fixing points

Check that the fixing centers are no more than 400mm apart and ensure that the backing board is straight.

Visible gaps at board joints

Ensure that the board is cut accurately and allow for minimal expansion based on ambient temperature during installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rot, warping, and peeling common in timber
  • Sophisticated Black Ash woodgrain aesthetic
  • Low maintenance; no sanding or painting required
  • Compatible with both renovation and new construction

Cons

  • Requires 25mm timber backing board for new installations
  • Specific fixing frequency must be strictly followed
  • Cutting requires precise tools to avoid damaging the woodgrain finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a professional installation, use 2 x 50mm Polytop nails at every support point. The spacing between these fixing points must not exceed 400mm; a standard 5m length will require approximately 26 nails.

Installation Tips:

  1. Measure the existing fascia to ensure the 30mm internal depth provides enough clearance.
  2. In new build scenarios, verify that your 25mm timber backing board is level and secured properly before mounting the UPVC capping.
  3. Always allow for small thermal expansion gaps at joints if installing in extreme temperature fluctuations.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean periodically with mild soapy water and a soft cloth to remove dust and environmental grime.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can permanently damage the woodgrain texture.
