FAQs

Can I install this board directly onto brickwork?

No, this board is designed to be installed over a timber substrate, such as an existing fascia or a 25mm sawn backing board.

How many nails do I need for a 5-meter length?

You should use approximately 18 nails per 5-meter length, ensuring fixings are spaced no further than 600mm apart.

What is the return leg depth?

The overall return leg measures 40mm, with an internal depth of 30mm.

Is this product suitable for brand new roofs?

Yes, provided that a 25mm thick sawn timber backing board is installed to provide the necessary structural support.

What type of nails should I use?

Use 50mm Polytop nails to ensure a professional finish that blends with the UPVC material.

Troubleshooting

Board appears to be bowing or rippling after installation

Check that your fixing centers are no more than 600mm apart and ensure you are using two nails per position to keep the board flush.

Visible gaps between lengths of board

Ensure that thermal expansion gaps are accounted for during installation, typically allowing for 3-5mm depending on ambient temperature.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Low maintenance requirement compared to traditional painted timber
  • Effective at protecting existing timber from moisture and decay
  • Easy to cut and install with standard carpenter tools
  • Standardized 40mm return leg provides a secure fit

Cons

  • Requires a 25mm backing board for structural integrity in new builds
  • Specific fixing frequency must be strictly followed to prevent warping
  • Not intended for structural load-bearing applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic woodworking tools, including a fine-toothed saw and a hammer. For the best results, use 2 x 50mm Polytop nails per fixing point to ensure a secure, flush finish that matches the board color. Fixings must be spaced no more than 600mm apart; a standard 5-meter length will typically require 18 nails to meet manufacturer recommendations. For maintenance, simply wipe the boards down with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove accumulated dirt or debris. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical solvents that could damage the UPVC surface finish.
