Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 150mm Black Ash Woodgrain Fascia Board is an ideal choice for homeowners and roofing contractors looking for a low-maintenance, aesthetically pleasing solution for roofline finishing. Crafted from high-quality 18mm thick PVC, this board provides a robust protective layer for rafters while mimicking the classic look of stained timber. While it offers excellent durability against the elements, it requires precise installation techniques—specifically strict adherence to nailing intervals—to prevent thermal expansion issues common with darker coloured PVC products.

FAQs

Can I paint this fascia board?

No, this board is designed to be maintenance-free. Painting it may void the warranty and lead to finish degradation.

Is this a capping board or a replacement board?

This is an 18mm thick full-replacement fascia board, designed to be fixed directly to rafter ends.

Why is the nail spacing restricted to 400mm?

Dark-coloured PVC absorbs heat, causing it to expand. Stricter nail spacing prevents the board from buckling under high temperatures.

What tools do I need for installation?

A fine-toothed hand saw or chop saw, a hammer, and 65mm polytop nails are the standard tools required.

Does the board come with corner joints or joiners?

No, corner joints and joiners are sold separately and are recommended for finishing the runs between lengths.

Troubleshooting

Board appearing wavy or bowed after installation

This is likely due to thermal expansion. Ensure you have followed the 400mm nail spacing rule and that you are using 2 nails per rafter.

Nail heads are visible or causing cracking

Ensure you are using correct 65mm polytop nails and that they are not being over-driven into the board.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable 18mm PVC construction
  • Maintenance-free woodgrain aesthetic
  • Easy to cut and fit for professional results
  • Integrated rebate for soffit board compatibility

Cons

  • Requires specific 400mm nail spacing due to heat absorption
  • Darker colours like Black Ash can be prone to thermal expansion if installed incorrectly
  • Fixed 5-meter length may require cutting and careful handling during transport

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires attention to detail, specifically regarding material movement. Because the Black Ash finish absorbs more heat than white PVC, the manufacturer explicitly mandates the use of 2 x 65mm polytop nails at every rafter. Spacing should never exceed 400mm to prevent the board from bowing or twisting due to thermal expansion. When cutting the boards, use a fine-toothed saw to prevent chipping the woodgrain finish. For care, simple cleaning with a mild soap and water solution is sufficient; avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could damage the textured surface.
