Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 175mm Anthracite Grey Woodgrain Fascia Board is an ideal choice for homeowners and professional builders looking to upgrade roofline aesthetics with a durable, weather-resistant solution. This board offers a sophisticated woodgrain finish that mimics timber without the high maintenance requirements of natural wood. While its robust 18mm thickness provides excellent structural integrity, it is important to note that the specific colour finish requires precise fixing intervals to ensure thermal expansion is properly managed.

FAQs

Can I use these boards in direct sunlight?

Yes, these boards are UV-stabilized, but the anthracite colour will absorb more heat, necessitating the strict 400mm fixing schedule.

Do I need to paint these boards?

No, the woodgrain finish is applied during manufacturing and requires no additional painting or treatment.

What size nails should I use?

You should use 65mm polytop nails to ensure proper penetration into the rafter and color-matched aesthetics.

Can I install these over existing timber fascia?

While these boards are designed for new or replacement installations, they can be used as capping if the existing timber is structurally sound and dry.

How do I clean the woodgrain surface?

Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth with warm, soapy water. Avoid solvent-based cleaners as they may damage the foil finish.

Troubleshooting

Board is bowing or warping

Verify that fixings are spaced at the recommended 400mm intervals and that nails are not overtightened.

Soffit board does not fit in the return leg

Check the groove for debris and ensure the soffit board is the correct thickness for the 40mm rebate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable woodgrain aesthetic
  • Sturdy 18mm thickness for long-term reliability
  • Integrated 40mm return leg simplifies soffit installation
  • Weather-resistant material prevents rot and decay

Cons

  • Requires specific 400mm nail spacing due to colour absorption
  • Heavier than standard thinner fascia options
  • Requires professional cutting tools for clean edges

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed using 2 x 65mm `polytop` nails at every rafter. To accommodate the material properties of the dark woodgrain finish, maintain a maximum fixing distance of 400mm between rafters. Ensure that all cuts are made with a fine-toothed saw to prevent splintering the decorative foil. For maintenance, a simple wash down with a soft cloth and mild soapy water is sufficient to remove dirt or debris and maintain the finish.
