FAQs

Can I use this board for structural support?

No, this is a finishing board intended to protect rafters; it is not designed to bear structural loads.

What is the recommended fixing method?

Use 40mm polytop pins, ensuring they are driven into the rafters at the appropriate intervals.

Does the board need painting or staining?

No, the Black Ash woodgrain finish is maintenance-free and does not require any painting or staining.

Is this product suitable for light commercial use?

Yes, it is designed for both residential and light commercial roofline applications.

How do I cut the board to size?

The board is easy to cut using standard woodworking hand tools or a fine-toothed power saw.

What standards are these boards manufactured to?

These boards are manufactured in accordance with BS EN 13245-2:2008 standards.

Troubleshooting

Board appearing loose or sagging

Check that the fixing centres are appropriate and that 40mm polytop pins are securely fastened into the rafter support.

Visible gaps between boards

Ensure that the proper joint trim connectors were used to allow for natural thermal movement.

Surface marks or scuffs

Use a soft, damp cloth with non-abrasive household detergent to gently clean the affected area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rotting, swelling, and discolouration
  • Requires significantly less maintenance than traditional timber
  • Lightweight material allows for easy handling and installation
  • Modern Black Ash woodgrain aesthetic
  • Comprehensive 10-year manufacturer's guarantee

Cons

  • Requires specific 40mm polytop pins for correct fixing
  • Not intended for structural load-bearing applications
  • Requires joint trims for a professional aesthetic finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper installation, the board should be secured to rafters using 40mm polytop pins, which provide a corrosion-resistant hold. It is highly recommended to use appropriate joint trims where boards meet to allow for thermal expansion and to ensure a tidy, professional look. Since the boards are 5 metres in length, ensure adequate support spacing during transport to prevent bowing. For care, simply clean the surface periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water; avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or solvent-based chemicals that could damage the woodgrain finish.
