The Freefoam 175mm Rosewood Fascia Capping Board (FW175WGR) is an ideal solution for homeowners and professional installers looking to restore or protect rooflines by covering existing timber fascias or finishing new installations with a timber backing board. This 10mm thick UPVC board offers a durable, low-maintenance rosewood finish that provides an aesthetic, clean look to the exterior of a home; however, it is specifically designed as a capping board and should not be used as a standalone structural replacement for existing, damaged timber fascias.

No, this is a 10mm capping board and must be fixed to a solid timber backing board to provide the necessary structural support.
We recommend using 50mm Polytop nails, which are designed to color-match the board and provide a secure, weather-resistant fix.
The finish is low-maintenance; simply clean with a soft cloth and mild soapy water when necessary. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaning pads.
Fixings must be placed at a maximum of 400mm intervals to ensure the board is held securely while allowing for material movement.
Yes, it is suitable for new installations provided that a timber backing board is installed first to support the capping board.
Check that the fixing intervals do not exceed 400mm and ensure the board was not installed too tightly against adjacent sections, allowing for thermal expansion.
Ensure that the timber backing is sound and that the 50mm Polytop nails are correctly driven through the board and firmly into the structural timber.
To install, ensure your timber backing is level and clean. Use 50mm Polytop nails to secure the board, maintaining a spacing of at least 400mm between fixings. This specific spacing is essential for woodgrain-effect boards to allow for natural expansion and contraction. For care, keep the board looking new by wiping it down periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the rosewood grain effect.
