The Freefoam 175mm Golden Oak fascia board is a heavy-duty, 18mm thick solution designed for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts tackling roofline renovation or new construction. It provides a durable, low-maintenance aesthetic finish that mimics real timber while offering superior weather resistance, though it requires precise measurement and specific fastening techniques to ensure long-term structural integrity.

This product is designed as a direct replacement. If you are capping an existing board, you should use a thinner capping cover board instead.
You must use 2 x 65mm polytop nails at each rafter intersection.
No, the 18mm thickness is sufficient for direct fixing to the rafters.
The return leg rebate is 40mm deep.
For this colored board, the maximum rafter spacing is 400mm.
Yes, Freefoam boards are manufactured to be resistant to UV rays, preventing significant fading over time.
Check if rafter spacing exceeds 400mm or if expansion gaps were omitted at joint overlaps.
Ensure rafter ends are cut square and are flush with one another before installation.
Use color-matched polytop nails; if heads are damaged during driving, ensure they are flush rather than countersunk.
For successful installation, ensure rafter feet are level and aligned to prevent bowing of the fascia. Use exactly two 65mm polytop nails at every rafter connection. Because this is a colored board, you must adhere strictly to the maximum 400mm rafter spacing to prevent expansion-related buckling. To maintain the appearance, clean the boards periodically with a soft sponge and mild soapy water; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvent-based chemicals that could damage the Golden Oak foil finish.
