Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 10mm UPVC Fascia Capping Board is an ideal solution for contractors and DIY homeowners looking to achieve a low-maintenance, clean finish on new builds or renovation projects where existing timber boards require protective covering. By providing a durable, weather-resistant outer layer, this board eliminates the need for periodic painting or timber treatment, though users should note that as a capping board, it is designed to be installed over sound, existing structures rather than as a primary load-bearing replacement.

FAQs

Can I use these boards on new builds?

Yes, they are suitable for both new build applications and refurbishing existing timber installations.

What is the exact width of the board?

The board has an external measurement of 200mm, which includes the 40mm return leg.

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

You will need approximately 18 nails per 5-meter length, using two nails at each fixing point spaced 600mm apart.

Does the board need painting?

No, the UPVC material is finished to be maintenance-free and does not require painting.

Can these boards hold the weight of gutters?

These are capping boards designed to cover timber. For heavy gutter systems, ensure the underlying timber is structurally capable of supporting the load.

Troubleshooting

Board is bowing between fixings

Check that your fixing centers are no greater than 600mm and ensure both top and bottom rows of nails are utilized.

Difficulty sliding the board over the timber

Verify that the timber is not wider than the 190mm effective coverage or that the timber itself has not warped and expanded beyond the 30mm internal clearance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rot, mold, and weather damage
  • Easy to cut and install with standard hand tools
  • Provides a clean, professional aesthetic
  • Requires virtually no maintenance after installation

Cons

  • Not intended for use as a primary load-bearing board
  • Existing timber must be sound and dry before capping
  • Requires specific Polytop nails for proper finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be approached systematically to ensure a durable bond.

  1. Preparation: Ensure the existing timber is dry and free from protruding nails or debris.
  2. Fastening: Use 2 x 50mm Polytop nails per fixing point.
  3. Spacing: Space fixing points no more than 600mm apart. For a standard 5-meter length, you will require approximately 18 nails.
  4. Handling: When cutting, use a fine-tooth saw to prevent splintering the UPVC edges.
  5. Cleaning: To maintain the finish, simply wipe down with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
