The PBSL Group 40mm Plastic Headed Pins (Plastops) are essential fasteners for professional roofline installers and DIYers looking to secure UPVC fascias and soffits with a clean, color-matched finish. These pins provide exceptional long-term holding power through a high-quality A4 marine-grade stainless steel shank combined with a durable Polyamide head. While they are highly effective for exterior environments, it is important to note that the specialized green coating requires careful installation to avoid surface damage during hammering.

While technically possible, they are specifically engineered with a plastic head to match UPVC fascia and soffit profiles. They may not look appropriate on wood or metal surfaces.
Yes, the shanks are made from A4 marine-grade stainless steel, which offers the highest level of corrosion resistance for exterior building applications.
Due to the ring-shank design, these pins are intended for permanent installation. Removal usually requires pulling the fascia board away and will likely damage the board or the timber.
Yes, the Polyamide head is designed to resist UV degradation, helping the color remain consistent even under prolonged sun exposure.
Calculate your total length of fascia and divide by your required spacing (usually 400mm-600mm). Always add 10% for accidental loss or damaged pins during installation.
Reduce the force of your hammer blows or switch to a rubber-faced mallet to prevent impact damage to the Polyamide head.
The timber may be too dense. Use a small pilot drill bit (smaller than the pin shank diameter) to clear a path.
Check that there is no debris between the board and the timber, then tap the pin head gently until it makes flush contact.
For optimal results, ensure the supporting timber behind your UPVC board is sound and free from rot.
