Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 175mm Ogee Fascia Capping Board is designed for homeowners and contractors looking for a decorative, low-maintenance finish when renovating rooflines or window boards. Its primary benefit is the elegant Ogee profile, which offers a more sophisticated aesthetic than standard flat boards while effectively covering existing timber. However, users should note that these are capping boards rather than structural replacements, meaning a solid timber backing is required for proper installation and support.

FAQs

Can these boards be used without a timber backing?

No, these are capping boards designed specifically to be fixed onto a solid, supportive timber backing.

How should I cut the boards to length?

Use a fine-tooth handsaw or a power saw with a blade suitable for plastics to achieve a clean, smooth cut.

What is the return leg measurement?

Each board features a 40mm return leg to provide a neat finish against the structure.

Do I need to paint the boards?

No, these boards come with a finished UPVC surface that does not require painting and is weather-resistant.

What is the recommended nail spacing?

Polytop nails should be spaced at a maximum of 600mm intervals to ensure the board remains secure.

Can I use these for window boards?

Yes, their design is versatile enough to be used as a decorative finish for window boards, provided they are supported by a timber frame.

Troubleshooting

Board is buckling between fixings

The nail spacing exceeds the 600mm limit; add additional fixings between existing points to secure the board.

Fascia looks wavy or uneven

Check that the underlying timber backing is level. If the timber is uneven, shim the area before installing the capping board.

Difficult to drive in Polytop nails

Ensure you are using a clean hammer head and strike the nail squarely; pre-drilling a pilot hole into the timber backing can also assist.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Decorative Ogee profile improves visual appeal
  • Lightweight and easy to cut to size on-site
  • Low maintenance material requires no painting
  • Compatible with existing timber fascias
  • Provides a clean, professional aesthetic

Cons

  • Requires existing timber backing for structural support
  • Not suitable for structural load-bearing applications
  • Needs specific Polytop nails for proper finish
  • Maximum 600mm nail spacing is strictly required for stability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your timber backing is level and clean. Use 50mm Polytop nails to attach the board, ensuring they are spaced no further than 600mm apart to prevent buckling or movement. The boards are designed to be cut with standard woodworking tools like a fine-tooth saw. For maintenance, the UPVC surface simply requires an occasional wash with mild soapy water and a soft cloth to remove dirt or debris; avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could scratch the finish. Store the boards in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight until you are ready to install to prevent potential bowing.
