Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 250mm Black Smooth Fascia Board is an ideal solution for contractors and homeowners looking to replace aging timber roofline systems with a durable, low-maintenance alternative. Designed for direct installation onto rafter feet, it eliminates the need for expensive backing boards, making it perfect for both renovations and new builds; however, users should ensure their existing rafter structure is sound before installation as these boards require a secure, level nailing surface.

FAQs

Do I need a backing board with this product?

No. The 18mm thickness of the Freefoam FMS250BL is designed specifically to be nailed directly to rafter feet.

Can I use this board for new build projects?

Yes, this board is fully suitable for both new build constructions and refurbishment projects.

How do I clean the black finish?

Use a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the smooth finish.

What is the total width of the board?

The board has a standard width of 250mm.

Can I paint these boards?

These boards come with a high-quality smooth finish and are designed to be maintenance-free. Painting is not recommended and may void the aesthetic finish.

Troubleshooting

Board appears slightly bowed after installation

Ensure that the rafters are perfectly aligned. If the rafters are uneven, you may need to pack them out before nailing to ensure a flat, level surface.

Nails are visible or causing the board to crack

Ensure you are using the correct plastic-headed pins and that you are nailing into the center of the rafter foot. Do not over-tighten, as this can cause stress fractures in the PVC.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for costly backing boards
  • Requires virtually no maintenance compared to timber
  • Sleek and professional smooth black aesthetic
  • Easy to install directly onto rafter feet
  • Standardized 250mm width fits most common roofline profiles

Cons

  • Not suitable for structural load-bearing applications
  • Requires precise nailing to avoid splitting the board
  • Black finish may show dust and debris more easily than white
  • Long 5-meter lengths can be cumbersome to transport

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a professional installation, start by inspecting the ends of your rafters to ensure they are level and solid. Use high-quality plastic-headed nails that match the black finish to ensure the fixings are discreet. When installing, always provide adequate ventilation in the roof space by choosing compatible soffit vents. For care, these boards are low-maintenance; they do not require painting. Periodic cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soapy water is sufficient to remove surface dirt and maintain the deep black appearance.
