FAQs

Can I install this over rotting timber?

No. The existing timber must be sound and rot-free. If the timber is rotting, it must be replaced before installing the capping board.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a tape measure, a fine-toothed saw, a hammer, and appropriate color-matched polytop nails.

Is this board load-bearing?

No, this is a capping board designed for fascia covering and should not be used to support roof structures or heavy weight.

How do I cut the board to length?

A fine-toothed saw is recommended to ensure a clean, smooth cut that won't chip the PVC edges.

Does the anthracite grey finish fade?

Freefoam products are designed to be UV-stable and resistant to color fading, though regular cleaning helps maintain the finish.

Troubleshooting

Board appears wavy after installation

Ensure the underlying timber is perfectly level and that nails were not overtightened, which can prevent natural thermal expansion.

Visible gaps between board joints

Use matching joint trims or ensure boards are cut precisely at 90 degrees to minimize the appearance of seams.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Increased structural durability due to 10mm thickness
  • Modern, high-end anthracite grey aesthetic
  • Easy to install over existing timber
  • Weather-resistant material requires minimal maintenance

Cons

  • Requires a sound substrate for proper mounting
  • Requires specific color-matched polytop nails for a clean look
  • Not intended for structural load-bearing applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure the timber substrate is dry, stable, and flat. Use color-matched polytop nails at regular intervals to secure the board firmly to the fascia. Ensure you allow for thermal expansion by leaving a small gap if installing multiple lengths in a long row. For care, this board requires no specialized maintenance. Periodically clean the surface with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent to remove grime or bird droppings, ensuring the anthracite grey finish maintains its vibrant appearance.
