Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam Fascia Bargeboard Finial is designed for roofers and DIY enthusiasts who require a professional, weather-resistant finish at the apex of a roof where two bargeboards meet. This 335mm component provides an essential decorative touch while maintaining the structural integrity of your PVC fascia system by allowing for natural material movement. A key caveat to remember is that this product requires specific installation techniques—fixing one side with adhesive and the other with flexible silicone—to prevent potential warping or damage caused by thermal expansion.

FAQs

What is the primary function of the finial?

It serves as a decorative apex cover for where two bargeboards meet, providing a tidy finish and weather protection.

Can this be painted?

Freefoam products are designed with a finished surface; painting is generally not recommended as it may void warranties and affect the finish.

How long is the finial?

This specific model measures 335mm in length.

Is it compatible with all fascia systems?

It is designed for standard PVC fascia systems, but you should ensure the profile matches your existing boards for a seamless fit.

Why do I need to use silicone on one side?

PVC expands and contracts with temperature changes; silicone provides a flexible joint that prevents the material from buckling under pressure.

Is the black finish fade-resistant?

Yes, it is designed for outdoor use and maintains its color well, though regular cleaning helps prevent environmental buildup.

Troubleshooting

The finial appears to be warping or buckling after installation.

This is likely caused by fixed mounting on both sides. Ensure one side is secured with flexible silicone rather than hard adhesive to allow for thermal movement.

The finial is loose or rattling in high winds.

Verify that the adhesive used on the fixed side has fully cured and that the silicone sealant on the opposing side was applied consistently.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Professional, clean aesthetic for roof apexes
  • Durable, weather-resistant PVC construction
  • Designed specifically to accommodate thermal movement
  • Simple installation process for a finished look

Cons

  • Requires specific adhesive and silicone application to function correctly
  • Limited to specific architectural applications at the roof apex
  • Black color may show dust or pollen accumulation over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires careful planning to ensure the material can expand without bowing. First, ensure the substrate is clean and dry. To install, apply a specialized PVC adhesive to one side of the finial to anchor it firmly to the bargeboard. On the opposite side, use a bead of low modulus silicone sealant. This creates a flexible bond that allows the board to shift slightly due to temperature fluctuations without detaching or cracking the finial.

Care is minimal: the component is made from durable, low-maintenance PVC. To clean, simply wipe down with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth during routine gutter or roofline maintenance. Avoid harsh abrasives or solvent-based cleaners that could dull the finish.
