FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of each board?

Each board measures 250mm in width, 1.75m in length, and 9mm in thickness.

Does the pack include fixings for installation?

No, the pack includes two boards and two pairs of matching end caps. You will need to source your own adhesives, screws, or nails separately.

Can this capping board be painted?

No, painting is not required. The uPVC board has a durable, woodgrain foil finish that is designed to be maintenance-free and wipe-clean.

Is this product suitable for external use?

Yes, the uPVC material is weather-resistant and suitable for both internal and external applications, such as rooflines and fascia boards.

How many boards are included in a pack?

Each pack contains two uPVC capping boards and two pairs of matching end caps.

What is the best way to clean the board?

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Can this be used on curved surfaces?

This capping board is rigid and best suited for straight applications. While minor curves might be accommodated with careful installation and appropriate fixings, it's not designed for significant curvature.

Troubleshooting

Board does not adhere properly

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use an appropriate adhesive specifically designed for uPVC and follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions regarding application and curing time.

Uneven or jagged cut edges

Use a fine-toothed saw or a specialized uPVC cutting tool for a cleaner finish. Ensure the board is securely supported while cutting to prevent vibration.

Warping or sagging after installation

Ensure the board is adequately supported by the underlying structure and that fixings are spaced appropriately. Avoid excessive heat exposure to the installed board, which can cause expansion.

Color or finish mismatch with existing elements

While the Irish Oak finish is designed to be versatile, it's advisable to order a sample or check color swatches if precise matching is critical. Minor variations can occur between batches.
