Troubleshooting
Filler does not fit snugly
Check alignment with the PVC sheet profile. Ensure no debris is obstructing the fit. For non-standard eaves, consider if trimming is required.
Noise not significantly reduced
Verify that the filler is correctly installed and providing consistent support along the entire eaves. Ensure all PVC sheets are securely fastened.
Difficulty during fixing
Ensure the filler is correctly positioned to provide adequate support. Do not overtighten fasteners, as this can damage the PVC sheeting or filler.
