FAQs

What tools do I need to install the capping board?

You will need a measuring tape, saw, drill (optional), screws or adhesive suitable for UPVC, a level, and safety glasses.

Can I paint the capping board?

The Black Ash finish is designed to be low-maintenance and does not require painting. Painting the board may void the warranty and is generally not recommended.

How do I calculate how much capping board I need?

Measure the length of the areas you wish to cover (e.g., window reveals, fascia boards) and add a small amount for waste. The capping board is available in 2m lengths, so factor that into your calculations.

What type of screws should I use?

Use stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant screws designed for exterior use. Ensure that the screws are suitable for the material you are fixing the capping board to (e.g., wood, UPVC).

Is the capping board suitable for use in coastal areas?

Yes, the capping board is designed to withstand a variety of weather conditions, including coastal environments. However, regular inspection and cleaning are still recommended.

How do I remove the capping board if I need to?

Carefully remove the screws or detach the adhesive. You may need to use a pry bar to gently remove the board, being careful not to damage the underlying surface. Take necessary safety precautions.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty Cutting the Board

Use a fine-toothed saw and ensure the board is firmly supported during cutting. Consider using a mitre saw for more precise cuts.

Board Doesn't Sit Flush

Check the underlying surface for any unevenness or obstructions. Ensure the surface is properly prepared before installation. If necessary, use shims to level the board.

Visible Joins

Use longer lengths of capping board where possible to minimize joins. Ensure joins are tight and aligned.

Fixings Not Holding

Ensure that the correct screws or adhesive is used for the application. Pre-drill pilot holes if necessary, especially when working with existing wood fascia boards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Measure and Cut: Measure the area you intend to cover (fascia, reveal, etc.) and cut the capping board to the required length using a fine-toothed saw.
  2. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the existing surface is clean and free of debris. Remove any loose materials.
  3. Position and Secure: Align the capping board and secure it using screws, nails, or adhesive appropriate for UPVC materials. Ensure that fixings are spaced evenly and do not over-tighten.

Compatibility

The Eurocell Capping Board is compatible with most standard window and fascia board sizes. The 150mm depth is ideal for standard applications. It can be used on a variety of surfaces, including wood, existing UPVC, and other building materials. For best results, use compatible screws or adhesive designed for UPVC and exterior applications.

Care

  • Cleaning: Clean the capping board regularly with mild soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surface.
  • Maintenance: The capping board is designed to be low maintenance. However, inspect it periodically for any signs of damage or wear. Address any issues promptly to ensure the longevity of your installation.
