Full details

FAQs

Are these boards suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, they are manufactured to withstand typical external weather conditions, including rain and wind, without rotting.

Can I paint these boards a different color?

It is not recommended. The factory finish is designed to be permanent and low-maintenance; painting may void performance benefits.

What tools do I need to cut these boards?

A fine-toothed hand saw or a circular saw with a blade suitable for uPVC will provide the cleanest cut.

Do these boards provide ventilation for the roof space?

The boards themselves are solid; however, they can be used with dedicated ventilation strips or discs if airflow is required.

How do I store the boards before installation?

Store them on a flat, level surface in a dry area, preferably out of direct sunlight, to prevent warping.

Can these be installed directly onto timber?

Yes, they are designed to be fixed to timber rafter feet or a timber sub-fascia.

Troubleshooting

Board bowing or buckling

Ensure that gaps were left at joints for thermal expansion and that fixings are not overtightened.

Fixing pins are visible

Use color-matched capping nails or pins, or position fixings behind joint trims where possible.

Joints do not look seamless

Ensure the ends are cut perfectly square and use matching joint covers or trims to bridge the gap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard hand or power tools, including a fine-toothed saw for clean cuts. It is recommended to use stainless steel fixings to prevent corrosion stains on the black finish. Ensure the supporting timber work is level and sound before fixing the boards. For care, these soffits are effectively maintenance-free. If they become dirty due to atmospheric conditions, simply wash them down with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh solvent-based cleaners, as these can dull the smooth surface finish.
