Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 225mm Anthracite Grey Fascia Board (FMS225AG) is an ideal solution for homeowners and professional builders looking for a low-maintenance, aesthetic alternative to traditional timber roofline systems. Engineered for direct installation onto rafter feet, it eliminates the need for expensive backing boards, making it perfect for both new construction and renovation projects. While it offers a sleek, modern finish, users should note that as a rigid PVC product, it requires precise measurement and specific fixing techniques to ensure structural integrity and proper ventilation compatibility.

FAQs

Can I install this board directly onto old timber fascias?

While intended for direct rafter mounting, it can be installed over sound, level timber, though direct mounting is recommended to prevent trapped moisture.

What type of fixings should I use?

Always use A4 grade stainless steel fixings to prevent corrosion and staining of the PVC.

How do I cut the boards?

Use a fine-tooth PVC saw or a power saw with a multi-material blade to ensure a smooth, clean edge.

Does the color fade over time?

The material is designed to be UV-stable, maintaining its anthracite grey appearance with standard environmental exposure.

Is this product suitable for coastal areas?

Yes, its high-quality PVC construction is highly resistant to salt spray and corrosive coastal environments.

Troubleshooting

Board appearing wavy after installation

Check that the rafter feet are perfectly level; if not, use packing shims before fixing the board.

Gaps at joints

Ensure you are using approved expansion joints and not fixing the boards too tightly to allow for thermal movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for traditional backing boards
  • Modern anthracite grey color scheme
  • Extremely low maintenance requirements
  • High structural rigidity with 18mm thickness
  • Easy to integrate with standard soffit systems

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade cutting tools for clean edges
  • Limited to specific 225mm depth requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Steps

  1. Ensure all rafter ends are cut square and are level.
  2. Fix the board using two stainless steel nails or screws at every rafter foot.
  3. Use appropriate joiners where two lengths meet to account for thermal expansion.
  4. Slide your soffit board into the rebated return leg for a clean finish.

Compatibility

This 225mm board is compatible with standard soffit boards designed for 18mm rebate slots. Ensure your gutter brackets are rated for attachment to PVC fascia boards.

Care

Maintenance is minimal. Simply wash the boards annually with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to remove dust and environmental grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that may dull the smooth finish.
