Product Information

Full details

The Orac Decor TF04 Dentil Block is designed for homeowners and contractors aiming to add architectural detail to estate-style properties with at least a 30cm soffit depth. It provides an immediate classic aesthetic upgrade to rooflines, offering a durable, pre-finished solution for both modern fascia and traditional wood systems; however, it requires planning for installation before the final roofing work is completed.

FAQs

Can these be installed on eaves smaller than 30cm?

No, these are specifically designed for soffits of at least 30cm to ensure proper scale and structural fit.

Do I need to paint them after installation?

The units are pre-finished in white, but you may paint them with exterior-grade paint if you wish to change the color.

What type of screws should I use?

You should use high-quality galvanized screws to prevent rusting and ensure long-term durability in outdoor conditions.

Can I install these on an existing roof?

Installation is intended for new build or roof renovation projects where access to the roof edge is available before the final tiling or flashing is applied.

What is the recommended spacing between each block?

The manufacturer recommends a spacing of 60cm center-to-center for the best aesthetic result.

Troubleshooting

Visible screws after installation

Ensure screws are driven into the integrated larch footplate and covered appropriately by the roofing materials or subsequent flashing.

Dentil feels loose

Verify that the screws have reached the solid structural timber behind the fascia board; if necessary, use longer galvanized screws.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds instant curb appeal and historical character
  • Compatible with both new builds and renovation projects
  • Durable design suitable for exterior environments
  • Pre-finished white saves time during installation

Cons

  • Requires installation prior to roof finishing
  • Requires a minimum soffit depth of 30cm
  • Strict 60cm spacing requirement for optimal layout

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should occur after your fascia boards are mounted but before the roofing membrane or tiles are installed. The unit uses a secret-fixing method; drive galvanized screws through the larch footplate into the underlying structure to ensure the hardware remains hidden from view. Once secured, ensure that the roofing underlay or flashing correctly integrates with the base of the dentil to maintain a weather-tight seal. For maintenance, simply wash the blocks periodically with mild soap and water to remove debris and maintain the white finish.
