Full details

The Freefoam Hollow Soffit Board (300mm x 5m) is an ideal solution for homeowners and professional contractors seeking a low-maintenance, aesthetically pleasing finish for roof overhangs. Engineered with a durable, woodgrain Anthracite Grey uPVC profile, it effectively protects eaves from the elements while requiring no painting or sanding; however, it is important to note that these boards are strictly non-load bearing and should not be used to support any structural weight.

FAQs

Can I use these boards to support roof rafters?

No. These are non-load bearing cosmetic boards and should never be used as a structural component.

How do I cut these boards?

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

Is the Anthracite Grey finish painted on?

No, the woodgrain finish is an integral part of the manufacturing process, meaning it will not peel or flake like paint.

Do I need to prime these boards before installation?

No, the boards come ready to install and require no priming, painting, or finishing work.

Can these be installed directly onto old timber?

Yes, provided the old timber is sound, dry, and level. If the timber is rotting, it should be replaced before installing the new soffit.

What is the best way to store these before installation?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ensure they are laid flat to avoid warping.

Troubleshooting

Board is bowing or bending

Ensure the boards are stored flat and supported along their entire length before installation to prevent permanent deformation.

Visible gaps between boards

Ensure that the tongue and groove are fully engaged during installation; if a gap persists, check that the underlying support structure is perfectly straight.

Difficulty driving in fixings

Check that the drill bit or nail gun setting is appropriate for uPVC; avoid over-tightening as this can compress the hollow profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Tips

  1. Ensure the mounting surface is level and secure before beginning installation.
  2. Use appropriate stainless steel fixings to prevent corrosion staining on the uPVC surface.
  3. Align the first board carefully; the tongue and groove system relies on the initial board being perfectly horizontal to ensure subsequent boards interlock smoothly.
  4. When cutting to length, use a fine-toothed saw to achieve a clean edge without chipping the finish.

Care and Maintenance

  • To clean, simply wipe down with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and warm soapy water.
  • Avoid the use of aggressive chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, which can scratch the woodgrain texture.
  • Periodically inspect joints for debris or biological growth if the house is located in a heavily forested area.
