Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 200mm Dark Grey Fascia Board is an essential solution for homeowners and contractors seeking a durable, low-maintenance roofline upgrade for both new builds and timber refurbishments. Its standout feature is the 18mm thickness which allows for direct installation onto rafter feet, providing a robust structural finish. While it offers excellent weather resistance and a sleek aesthetic, users should note that the 5-metre length requires careful planning for transportation and precise onsite cutting to match specific roof dimensions.

FAQs

Can I fix these directly to the rafters?

Yes, the 18mm thickness is specifically designed to be strong enough for direct installation onto rafter feet.

What is the length of each board?

Each fascia board is supplied in a 5-metre length.

Do I need to paint these boards?

No, the UPVC material is finished in dark grey and is designed to be maintenance-free without the need for painting or staining.

Are these suitable for replacing wooden fascias?

Yes, they are an excellent replacement for old timber fascias, providing a more durable, rot-proof solution.

How do I clean the boards?

Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and soapy water is enough to keep the surface looking new.

What should I use to cut the boards?

A fine-toothed hand saw or a power saw equipped with a blade suitable for plastic will provide the cleanest cuts.

Troubleshooting

Board is bowing between rafters

Ensure that fasteners are placed at the correct intervals and that the board is not being subjected to excessive tension during installation.

Difficulty inserting soffit board into the rebate

Check that the rebate is clear of any debris or sawdust; if the fit is too tight, ensure the soffit board is the correct thickness and not warped.

Nail heads are visible

Use matching dark grey plastic-headed nails and ensure they are driven flush with the board surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Suitable for both new construction and refurbishment of old timber
  • Direct-fix installation reduces labor time and complexity
  • Highly weather-resistant UPVC material requires minimal maintenance
  • Integrated rebate simplifies soffit board installation

Cons

  • 5-metre boards can be challenging to transport in standard vehicles
  • Requires professional-grade tools for accurate cutting and fitting
  • Dark grey finish may show dust or pollen accumulation more than white boards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these boards, ensure your rafters are spaced at standard centers (typically 400mm to 600mm). Always use high-quality, stainless steel, plastic-headed nails to prevent corrosion and maintain the aesthetic. When cutting the 5-metre lengths, use a fine-toothed hand saw or a circular saw with a plastic-cutting blade to avoid splintering the edges.

For care, the boards are largely self-cleaning due to rainfall; however, if they become dirty, a simple wipe-down with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth is sufficient. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical solvents that could scratch or damage the smooth finish.
