Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 150mm Black Smooth Fascia Board (FMS150BL) is an ideal solution for homeowners and contractors seeking a durable, low-maintenance replacement for aging timber fascias or a sleek finish for new builds. Designed for direct installation onto rafter feet, these boards eliminate the requirement for secondary backing boards, saving time and labor costs. While they offer exceptional weather resistance and a professional aesthetic, ensure your rafter structure is sound before installation as these boards require a stable mounting point for optimal longevity.

FAQs

Does this board require a backing board?

No, this specific product is designed for direct fixing to rafter feet.

Can I use these boards for structural support?

No, these fascia boards are strictly for aesthetic and weather-proofing purposes and should not be used as load-bearing structural elements.

What is the primary benefit of the rebated return leg?

The rebated leg provides a dedicated slot for your soffit board, resulting in a cleaner installation and a more secure, weather-tight connection.

Is this product suitable for coastal areas?

Yes, the PVC material used in Freefoam boards is highly resistant to salt spray and corrosion, making it suitable for coastal environments.

How do I clean the black finish?

Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the smooth surface.

Can I paint these boards a different color?

While the boards are manufactured with a finished surface, painting is generally not recommended as it voids the low-maintenance benefits and may not adhere well to the PVC.

Troubleshooting

Board appears misaligned after installation

Check the rafter feet for levelness before fastening; use shims if necessary to ensure a straight surface for the board to sit flush.

Soffit board does not fit snugly in the rebate

Ensure you are using a compatible soffit thickness and that the rebate area is free of debris or excess adhesive from previous steps.

Expansion/contraction gaps appearing

Ensure that the fixing nails are not driven too tightly into the board, allowing the material to expand and contract naturally with temperature changes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for costly and heavy timber backing boards
  • Weather-resistant material requires minimal upkeep
  • Smooth black finish provides a modern, clean aesthetic
  • Simplifies the roofline installation process
  • Compatible with standard soffit systems

Cons

  • Requires sound, square rafter feet for proper alignment
  • Black finish may show dust and debris more clearly than white alternatives
  • Not suitable for load-bearing applications
  • Requires specific professional-grade fixings for secure attachment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure your rafter feet are aligned, level, and free from existing rot. The boards should be fixed using high-quality, corrosion-resistant plastic-headed nails at the recommended centers to allow for minor thermal expansion. When cutting the boards, use a fine-toothed saw to prevent splintering the smooth finish. For care, these boards only require periodic cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove surface dirt and maintain the deep black color. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or solvent-based cleaners that could scratch the smooth finish.
