Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary function of the ventilation slots?

The slots provide a 10mm continuous air gap to allow air to flow into the roof space, reducing humidity and preventing condensation.

Can this be used on flat roofs?

No, this product is specifically designed for pitched roofs of 30 degrees or more.

Does the black color fade in direct sunlight?

The product is manufactured with UV-resistant properties, but like all external building products, it may show minor weathering over a long period.

How do I clean the soffit boards?

Wipe with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals.

Are these boards insect-proof?

Yes, the integrated slot design is engineered to allow air movement while preventing insects from entering the roof space.

What are the dimensions of the board?

Each board is 175mm wide, 10mm thick, and 5 metres in length.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty achieving a clean cut

Use a fine-toothed PVC saw and support the board firmly on a workbench to prevent vibration.

Visible debris in ventilation slots

Use a soft brush to periodically clear the slots to ensure maximum airflow efficiency.

Board appears bowed during installation

Check that your support joists are level and consistent; use appropriate fixing centers to secure the board effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated ventilation slots reduce moisture buildup
  • Durable and low-maintenance material
  • Modern aesthetic for contemporary homes
  • Lightweight for easier onsite handling
  • Effective barrier against insect ingress

Cons

  • Restricted to roof pitches of 30 degrees or more
  • Black color may absorb more heat than lighter variants
  • Rigid PVC profile requires precise cutting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard carpentry tools, including a fine-tooth saw, measuring tape, and stainless steel fixings to prevent corrosion. Ensure the roof pitch is at least 30 degrees before installation to guarantee proper air intake performance. To maintain the boards, simply wipe them down with a soft cloth and mild soapy water during your seasonal gutter cleaning; avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could damage the UV-resistant finish. Always store boards on a flat surface in a cool, dry place prior to installation to prevent warping.
