The Freefoam 175mm Black Smooth Fascia Board is an ideal solution for builders and homeowners looking for a low-maintenance, durable alternative to traditional timber fascias in both new construction and refurbishment projects. Its key benefit lies in its design for direct installation onto rafter feet, which saves time and labor by eliminating the requirement for a separate backing board. While this product provides a sleek, professional finish, users should note that careful measurement and proper structural assessment of existing rafter feet are essential before installation to ensure a secure fit.

No, this specific board is designed for direct installation onto rafter feet.
These boards are manufactured with a finished surface and are designed to be maintenance-free. Painting is not recommended.
You will need a saw for cutting, a hammer or nail gun, and appropriate corrosion-resistant fixings.
Use a soft cloth and a mild solution of warm water and liquid soap.
It is designed for standard roofline configurations where rafters are accessible. Consult a professional if your roof structure is non-standard.
Check the rebate on the return leg for any debris or obstructions and ensure the soffit board thickness is compatible.
Verify that the rafter feet are level; if the rafters are uneven, you may need to apply shims before fixing the fascia board.
To install, ensure your rafter feet are aligned and structurally sound. The boards should be fixed using high-quality, corrosion-resistant plastic-headed nails that match the black finish. When cutting the boards to length, use a fine-toothed saw to prevent splintering the smooth surface.
Regarding care, these boards are virtually maintenance-free. To keep the finish looking new, periodically clean the surface with a soft cloth and a mild soap-and-water solution to remove accumulated dust or salt deposits. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical solvents that could dull the smooth finish.
