Product Information

Full details

This 225mm Vented Soffit Board is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable, long-term solution for protecting roof overhangs while ensuring proper attic ventilation. Its primary benefit is the integrated slot system that maintains essential airflow to prevent condensation and dampness without the need for additional vents, though installers should note that it requires specific fixing intervals and is best suited for roof pitches of 30 degrees or more.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this board need to be painted?

No, the brown finish is permanent and does not require painting, sealing, or staining.

Can I use this on a flat roof?

This product is specifically designed for pitched roofs of 30 degrees or more to meet current Building Regulations for ventilation.

What type of nails should I use?

You must use 2 x 40mm Polytop Pins to ensure the board is securely fixed and the fastener head matches the brown finish.

How do I cut the soffit board?

The board is easily cut to length using a standard fine-toothed wood saw.

Is the material waterproof?

Yes, it is made from durable PVC which is impervious to moisture and will not rot or warp when exposed to the elements.

Does the 10-year guarantee cover installation errors?

The guarantee typically covers manufacturing defects; always ensure installation follows the manufacturer's specified fixing guidelines to maintain validity.

Troubleshooting

Board is sagging between supports

Ensure that pins are spaced no further than 400mm apart and check that the supporting timber is level.

Difficulty in cutting to size

Use a fine-toothed hand saw to achieve a clean, smooth edge without splintering the PVC material.

Visible condensation in the attic

Verify that the ventilation slots are clear of any debris and confirm that loft insulation is not blocking the airflow path at the eaves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
