FAQs

Can I use these boards over old timber fascia?

While these are designed as replacement boards, they are best installed directly onto rafter feet. If installing over existing timber, ensure the timber is structurally sound and dry.

What is the thickness of these boards?

These boards are 18mm thick, which provides the necessary rigidity for direct fixing.

Are these boards UV stable?

Yes, they are manufactured to resist fading and degradation caused by UV exposure.

How should I store them before use?

Store them flat on a dry surface, away from direct sunlight and heavy objects that could cause bowing.

Can I paint the dark grey finish?

It is not recommended, as the boards are supplied with a finished surface designed to be maintenance-free.

Troubleshooting

Board appearing wavy after installation

Check that the rafter feet are perfectly aligned and that fixings are spaced at the recommended 400mm intervals.

Difficulty inserting soffit into the rebate

Ensure the soffit board thickness matches the rebate width and clear any debris or off-cuts from the groove.

Surface scuffing during handling

Clean light scuffs with a proprietary PVC cleaner; for deeper gouges, the board may need to be trimmed or replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No backing board required due to 18mm thickness
  • Modern dark grey smooth finish
  • Integrated rebate for easy soffit installation
  • Weather-resistant and low maintenance
  • Suitable for both new builds and refurbishment

Cons

  • Requires professional cutting tools for precise edges
  • Heavier than standard thinner fascia options
  • Limited to specific 225mm width requirement
  • Requires careful transport due to 5m length

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your rafter feet are aligned properly. Use stainless steel, plastic-headed nails to fix the board into the rafter feet, typically spacing fixings at 400mm intervals to ensure a flush finish. When cutting the 5-meter boards, use a fine-toothed saw to prevent splintering the smooth surface. For cleaning, simply use a soft cloth with mild soapy water; avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the factory finish. Store the boards flat and undercover prior to installation to prevent warping or sun damage.
