Use a fine-toothed hand saw or a circular saw with a PVC-compatible blade for the cleanest cut.
Check that the fixing pins are not overtightened and that adequate room is left for thermal expansion between boards.
Clean the surface with a mild detergent and water. Do not use high-pressure washers or harsh solvents.
Ensure that the fascia groove is free of debris and that the board edge is cut perfectly square.
Installation requires standard PVC fixing pins, which should be placed at the manufacturer's recommended intervals to allow for thermal expansion. Always ensure that the support joists are level to prevent sagging. To maintain the appearance, clean the boards periodically with a soft sponge and warm soapy water; avoid using abrasive chemicals or solvent-based cleaners that could damage the smooth finish. Proper ventilation must be integrated into the roof design, as these solid boards do not have built-in air gaps.
