FAQs

Can I install this over an existing timber fascia?

This product is designed as a direct replacement. If you are capping an existing board, you should use a thinner capping cover board instead.

What nails should I use?

You must use 2 x 65mm polytop nails at each rafter intersection.

Does it need a backing board?

No, the 18mm thickness is sufficient for direct fixing to the rafters.

How deep is the soffit rebate?

The return leg rebate is 40mm deep.

What is the maximum rafter spacing?

For this colored board, the maximum rafter spacing is 400mm.

Is the Golden Oak finish UV stable?

Yes, Freefoam boards are manufactured to be resistant to UV rays, preventing significant fading over time.

Troubleshooting

Board appearing wavy or buckled

Check if rafter spacing exceeds 400mm or if expansion gaps were omitted at joint overlaps.

Fascia not sitting flat on rafters

Ensure rafter ends are cut square and are flush with one another before installation.

Nail heads visible/exposed

Use color-matched polytop nails; if heads are damaged during driving, ensure they are flush rather than countersunk.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for traditional backing boards
  • Durable 18mm thickness provides high structural rigidity
  • Attractive, low-maintenance wood-grain aesthetic
  • Compatible with standard soffit systems

Cons

  • Requires specific 65mm polytop nails for installation
  • Maximum rafter spacing limit of 400mm
  • Cutting requires precise tools to maintain a clean finish
  • Color matching can be difficult if not using Freefoam-specific accessories

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
