Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this board be used to support the weight of roof tiles?

No, this is a non-load bearing board designed solely for finishing and protecting the underside of eaves.

Is the dark grey finish prone to fading under direct sunlight?

The board is manufactured to be resistant to discolouration, though some natural weathering may occur over many years.

How do I cut the board to size?

The uPVC material can be cut easily using a fine-toothed panel saw or a circular saw with a blade suitable for plastic.

Does the board come with fixings included?

No, fixings must be sourced separately. We recommend using stainless steel nails to ensure they do not rust.

Can this be installed over existing timber soffits?

Yes, provided the existing timber is sound and the structure is capable of holding the additional weight of the uPVC board.

Troubleshooting

Board appearing uneven or wavy after installation

Ensure that the supporting timber rafters or noggins are level and that nails are spaced at recommended intervals to provide uniform support.

Surface dirt accumulation

Clean the board using a non-abrasive sponge and a mixture of water and mild detergent; avoid solvent-based cleaners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to moisture and weathering
  • Requires virtually no maintenance after installation
  • Lightweight for easier handling
  • Modern, sleek dark grey aesthetic
  • Complies with rigorous BS EN construction standards

Cons

  • Not suitable for load-bearing applications
  • Specific colour matching required for surrounding fascias
  • Cutting requires precise tools to maintain a clean edge

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by fixing the board into position with stainless steel trim nails to prevent corrosion. Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided within the roof space, as the board itself seals the eave area. Compatibility is generally high with most standard fascia systems, provided the width of 175mm is sufficient for your specific roof overhang. For maintenance, simply clean the surface periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove accumulated dust or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals that could scratch the smooth finish.
