Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 18mm Black Fascia Board is an ideal solution for builders and homeowners looking for a robust, low-maintenance finish for new roof installations or refurbishment projects. Engineered for direct installation onto rafter feet, it eliminates the need for expensive backing boards while providing a sleek, modern aesthetic. While it offers excellent durability and a professional finish, users should note that the 300mm width is a specific size requirement that must be pre-verified against existing roof dimensions to ensure proper coverage.

FAQs

Can I install this board over existing timber fascia?

This board is specifically designed for direct installation onto rafter feet as a replacement; covering existing rotted timber is not recommended.

Do I need a backing board?

No, the 18mm thickness provides enough structural rigidity to be fixed directly to the rafters.

How do I clean the black finish?

Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or solvent-based cleaners as they may scratch the surface.

Is this material recyclable?

Freefoam products are typically manufactured from PVC-U, which can be recycled at specialist facilities.

What is the primary benefit of the rebated return leg?

The rebate provides a secure slot for the soffit board, creating a clean, professional aesthetic and a weather-tight connection.

Troubleshooting

Board appearing loose or sagging

Ensure that the fixing centers are spaced no more than 600mm apart and that stainless steel nails are driven securely into the center of the rafter.

Soffit board does not sit flat in the rebate

Check that the soffit board is cut to the correct depth and that no debris is lodged inside the return leg channel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for costly backing boards
  • Durable 18mm thickness ensures long-term structural integrity
  • Rebated design allows for clean, secure soffit integration
  • Requires zero painting or wood-care maintenance
  • Professional, smooth black aesthetic

Cons

  • Not suitable for curved or non-standard rafter profiles
  • Requires precise cutting to ensure the return leg aligns correctly
  • Black finish may show dust and surface debris more clearly than white alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a professional installation, start by ensuring all rafter feet are cut square and are in good condition. The board should be installed using plastic-headed stainless steel nails to prevent corrosion.

Compatibility: This board is designed for 300mm coverage; check your existing guttering system to ensure the fascia depth is sufficient for your gutter brackets.

Care: Maintenance is minimal. To keep the finish looking new, wipe down the boards annually with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and a mild soap-and-water solution to remove accumulated atmospheric grime.
