Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 175mm Fascia Capping Board (FW175WGB) is designed for homeowners and professional contractors seeking a low-maintenance, durable solution for exterior roofline finishing. It serves as an excellent upgrade for covering existing weathered timber or providing a clean finish to new build projects, offering a sophisticated Black Ash woodgrain aesthetic. While this board provides exceptional protection against the elements, it requires a solid, level substrate, such as a 25mm thick sawn timber backing, to ensure a stable and long-lasting installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this board be installed directly over existing timber?

Yes, but it is highly recommended to ensure the timber is structurally sound and to use a 25mm backing board to provide the necessary support.

Does the Black Ash finish fade in sunlight?

The board is manufactured with UV-stable materials designed to resist fading and degradation under normal outdoor conditions.

What is the internal depth of the board?

The board has an internal depth of 30mm, designed to accommodate standard existing fascia profiles.

What type of nails should I use?

You should use 50mm Polytop Nails, which are color-matched and designed to sit flush with the board without causing damage.

Is this product suitable for coastal environments?

Yes, UPVC is naturally resistant to salt air and moisture, making it an excellent choice for coastal properties.

Troubleshooting

Board appears to be warping or bowing after installation

This is often due to improper nail spacing. Ensure that fixings are spaced no more than 400mm apart to allow for thermal expansion.

Difficulty achieving a clean, square cut

Use a fine-toothed saw blade intended for plastic or soft metals. Ensure the board is firmly clamped before cutting to prevent vibration.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber
  • Sophisticated Black Ash woodgrain texture
  • Highly resistant to rot, corrosion, and moisture
  • Easy to cut and fit for various roofline configurations
  • Long-lasting finish that does not require seasonal repainting

Cons

  • Requires a 25mm sawn timber backing for structural support
  • Not suitable for direct mounting without a level substrate
  • Woodgrain finishes require specific nail spacing for optimal expansion management

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Ensure the underlying timber is dry and structurally sound.
  2. Install a 25mm thick sawn timber backing along the rafters to provide the necessary support for the capping board.
  3. Measure and cut the board to the required length using standard fine-toothed hand or power saws.
  4. Secure the board using 50mm Polytop Nails, maintaining a 400mm maximum gap between each nail.

Compatibility

This board is designed for use as an overlay on existing fascia or as a finishing element on new builds where a support timber is provided. It is fully compatible with standard UPVC roofline trim components.

Care

Maintenance is minimal. To clean the Black Ash finish, use a soft cloth and a mild soap-and-water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the woodgrain texture and protective film.
