Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 100mm Fascia Capping Board (FW100) is a versatile solution designed primarily for homeowners and contractors looking to refurbish existing timber fascias or window boards. Its core strength lies in its thin 10mm profile, which allows for a clean, maintenance-free finish over weathered wood without requiring complete removal of the original structure. While it provides excellent protection and a modern aesthetic, users must note that it requires a solid, sound timber backing board for support, making it unsuitable for direct structural installation without a substrate.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I install this board without a timber backing?

No, this product is designed as a capping board and must be installed onto a solid timber backing for structural support.

How many nails do I need for one 5-meter length?

You should use 18 nails per 5-meter length, ensuring two 50mm Polytop nails are placed at each fixing point.

What is the thickness of the board?

The board has a thickness of 10mm.

Is this product suitable for use as a structural fascia?

No, it is a capping board and should not be used as a replacement for a structural load-bearing fascia board.

What is the best way to cut the board to length?

You can use a fine-toothed hand saw or a power miter saw with a blade suitable for plastic to ensure a clean, smooth cut.

Does the board need painting?

No, Freefoam boards come with a finished surface that requires no painting and is designed to remain white for years.

Troubleshooting

Board is bowing after installation

Ensure that the fixing centers do not exceed 600mm, as excessive spacing causes the material to flex.

Nails are visible after installation

Use color-matched Polytop nails to ensure the heads blend into the white finish of the board.

Board is not sitting flush against the timber

Check the underlying timber for debris or protrusions that may be preventing a tight fit and remove any obstructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces maintenance by eliminating the need for painting or sanding timber
  • Lightweight and easy to transport in 5-meter lengths
  • Provides a clean, professional aesthetic to roofline edges
  • Compatible with both renovation projects and new timber-backed installations

Cons

  • Not intended for structural or load-bearing applications
  • Requires a sound timber backing board for proper support
  • Limited to specific 100mm width, necessitating precise measurement before purchase

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal installation of the white 100mm board, always ensure the substrate is dry, clean, and level. When securing the board, use 2 x 50mm Polytop Nails at every fixing point. To maintain structural integrity, fixings must be spaced no further than 600mm apart; a full 5-meter length typically requires 18 nails to ensure a secure, flush finish. To clean, simply wipe down with a soft cloth and mild soapy water; avoid using abrasive chemicals or solvent-based cleaners that could damage the UV-stabilized surface finish.
