The Freefoam 200mm Fascia Capping Board is designed for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts looking to refurbish roofline aesthetics with a durable, low-maintenance solution. It provides a clean, professional finish over existing timber fascias, offering long-term weather protection and a sleek black aesthetic. While it excels at covering aging wood, it is essential that the underlying timber is sound and rot-free before installation to ensure the board remains secure and does not trap moisture.

No, this is a capping board designed specifically to be installed over a solid backing board or sound existing timber.
Use stainless steel polytop nails to prevent rust and ensure the nail heads match the colour of the board.
The material is engineered to be UV-stable, meaning it will maintain its colour significantly longer than painted timber, though all materials experience minor weathering over very long periods.
Yes, the 10mm lip is designed to provide extra coverage and is fully compatible with most standard soffit systems.
You can cut the board using a fine-toothed hand saw or an electric chop saw with a blade suitable for plastic.
Ensure the underlying timber substrate is perfectly level. Wavy boards usually indicate that the backing is uneven.
Always use dedicated stainless steel polytop nails. Standard galvanized nails will rust and react with the uPVC.
Ensure adequate space is left for thermal expansion. If gaps appear, verify that boards were not fitted too tightly against each other.
Setup: Ensure the existing timber is dry, level, and free of rot. If the wood is compromised, it must be repaired or replaced before attaching the capping board. Secure the board using high-quality stainless steel polytop nails to prevent future corrosion and staining. Space your fixings appropriately along the length of the board to ensure it remains flush against the substrate.
Compatibility: This board is compatible with standard 200mm fascia profiles and is designed to sit flush with standard soffit systems. It is best suited for residential roofline upgrades.
Care: The boards are largely maintenance-free. If they become dirty due to atmospheric pollutants or dust, a simple wipe down with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and warm soapy water is sufficient to restore the finish.
