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.

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.
The board is manufactured with UV-stable materials designed to resist fading and degradation under normal outdoor conditions.
The board has an internal depth of 30mm, designed to accommodate standard existing fascia profiles.
You should use 50mm Polytop Nails, which are color-matched and designed to sit flush with the board without causing damage.
Yes, UPVC is naturally resistant to salt air and moisture, making it an excellent choice for coastal properties.
This is often due to improper nail spacing. Ensure that fixings are spaced no more than 400mm apart to allow for thermal expansion.
Use a fine-toothed saw blade intended for plastic or soft metals. Ensure the board is firmly clamped before cutting to prevent vibration.
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.
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.
