Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 340mm Bargeboard Finial is an essential component for roofline installers and homeowners looking to achieve a polished, professional finish at the apex of a roof. It serves as a decorative cover for the joint between two bargeboards, effectively concealing gaps while enhancing the overall aesthetic of the building's exterior. While it offers superior durability and weather resistance, it is important to note that the installation requires careful attention to thermal expansion techniques to prevent long-term stress on the materials.

FAQs

Can I paint the grey finish?

The finial is designed to be maintenance-free and comes pre-finished in grey. Painting is generally not recommended as it may affect the performance of the PVC.

Is this finial compatible with non-Freefoam boards?

While it is designed for the Freefoam system, it can be used with other standard PVC fascia systems, provided the dimensions and profiles match.

What is the primary function of the finial?

Its primary function is to cover the joint between two bargeboards at the apex for both aesthetic appeal and weather protection.

Why use low-modulus silicone on one side?

Low-modulus silicone remains flexible over time, which allows the finial to expand and contract with temperature changes without breaking the seal.

How do I clean the finial?

Use a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could damage the PVC surface.

Troubleshooting

The finial appears to be pulling away from the bargeboard.

Check if too much rigid adhesive was used. Ensure the 'free' side is only sealed with flexible low-modulus silicone to allow for movement.

Finial looks misaligned at the apex.

Verify the cut angle of the underlying bargeboards. If the boards are not cut at the correct pitch, the finial will not seat flush at the apex.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects roofline joints from moisture and debris
  • Maintenance-free PVC material
  • Provides a clean, finished architectural look
  • Easy to integrate with existing PVC fascia systems

Cons

  • Requires specific installation techniques for thermal movement
  • Not suitable for timber bargeboard applications
  • Strictly decorative/finishing purpose

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a two-part approach to account for thermal dynamics. First, ensure the surface of the bargeboard is clean and free of dust or oils. Second, apply a high-quality PVC adhesive to one side of the finial to anchor it firmly to one board. For the opposing side, use a low-modulus silicone sealant. This specific application technique ensures that as the plastic expands in the heat and contracts in the cold, the finial remains secure without buckling.

Compatibility is highest with standard Freefoam PVC fascia and bargeboard systems. Maintenance is minimal; the finial only requires occasional cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove accumulated grime or surface dirt.
