FAQs

Can I install this without a backing board?

Yes, this specific fascia is engineered to be fixed directly to rafter ends.

How many joints can I get from one 600mm unit?

One 600mm unit is designed to be cut to provide two joints.

What size nails should I use?

You should use 2 x 65mm polytop nails at each rafter location.

Does this product come with the soffit board?

No, the fascia corner is designed to accept a standard soffit board, which is sold separately.

What is the maximum spacing between rafter fixings?

For optimal structural integrity, maintain a maximum spacing of 600mm.

Is this product suitable for all roof types?

It is suitable for most standard residential roofline applications where 18mm bullnose fascia is specified.

Troubleshooting

Board is not sitting flush against the rafter

Check if the rafter end is uneven and trim the rafter or use a packer to level the surface before fixing.

Soffit board does not fit into the rebate

Ensure no debris is trapped in the rebate and verify the soffit thickness is compatible with the standard Freefoam profile.

Nail heads are visible or causing splits

Ensure you are using the correct 65mm polytop nails and that you are not nailing too close to the board edge.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for expensive backing boards
  • High-quality 18mm thickness ensures long-term durability
  • Pre-designed for easy cutting into two joint pieces
  • Professional, clean aesthetic profile

Cons

  • Requires precise cutting to divide the 600mm unit
  • Requires specific 65mm polytop nails for optimal hold
  • Not intended for long-span structural support without rafter contact

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a professional finish, use 2 x 65mm polytop nails at every rafter connection. Maintain a maximum spacing of 600mm between rafters to ensure the board remains stable. No special backing board is required, making the installation process faster and less material-intensive. Care involves periodic inspection to ensure that fasteners remain tight and the soffit board remains fully engaged in the rebate. Clean the surface with mild soapy water and a soft cloth to remove dirt or debris; avoid using abrasive chemicals that may degrade the finish.
