The Freefoam 18mm Replacement Fascia Board is an essential building component for homeowners and contractors looking for a durable, low-maintenance solution for roofline projects. Designed for direct installation onto rafter feet, it effectively replaces rotting timber fascias and is suitable for both new builds and renovation tasks. While its black smooth finish offers a modern aesthetic, users should ensure their rafter spacing is compatible with the 18mm thickness to ensure proper structural support.

While it is designed to replace timber, it is recommended to remove the old, rotting timber first to prevent trapped moisture and ensure a secure fix to the rafter feet.
Freefoam products are engineered for outdoor durability, though some natural weathering is expected over a very long period.
These boards are 18mm thick, which provides the structural rigidity required for direct-to-rafter mounting.
Yes, PVC-U fascia boards are highly resistant to the salt-laden air that typically causes timber to rot.
It is generally not recommended to paint these boards as the finish is designed to be maintenance-free and paint may not adhere properly to the PVC-U surface.
Always use A4 grade stainless steel fixings to prevent "bleeding" or rust marks on the fascia surface.
Ensure that the fixing centers are correct and that the boards are not being forced into position if rafters are misaligned.
Check that the soffit board thickness matches the specific tolerance of the rebate provided on the 18mm fascia.
Setup: Ensure that the rafter feet are sound and level before installation. Use stainless steel fixings suitable for external plastic products to prevent corrosion and staining. Start at one corner and ensure the boards are adequately supported at every rafter interval.
Compatibility: This 225mm board is intended for use where the depth matches the existing roofline profile. Ensure the internal rebate is compatible with the thickness of the soffit boards you intend to use.
Care: The surface of the Freefoam boards is designed to be maintenance-free. To maintain the appearance, simply wipe the black finish occasionally with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical solvents that could scratch the smooth finish.
