Full details

The Dentil Block Exterior (TF05) is ideal for homeowners and builders looking to restore or add a traditional Victorian architectural aesthetic to their property eaves. This decorative element provides an instant boost to curb appeal through its bold, elegant design, though it requires a soffit depth of at least 30cm for proper installation. The unit comes pre-finished in a clean white, making it a versatile choice that pairs seamlessly with both contemporary PVCu fascias and classic timber structures.

FAQs

Can I install these on an existing roof?

Yes, but it is easier if you are planning to replace your roof tiles or felt, as the fixings are designed to be hidden underneath the roofing materials.

How far apart should I space the dentil blocks?

For optimal visual effect, we recommend a spacing of 60cm between the centres of each block.

Do I need to paint them after installation?

No, the blocks come pre-finished in white and are ready for immediate installation.

What type of screws should I use?

Use galvanised screws to ensure they are rust-resistant and provide a secure, long-lasting hold.

Are these blocks suitable for PVCu fascias?

Yes, the TF05 is compatible with both modern PVCu fascias and traditional wooden materials.

What is the purpose of the larch footplate?

The larch footplate is embedded in the block to provide a solid, durable base for your screws to grip, ensuring the block remains firmly attached.

Troubleshooting

Visible screw heads after installation

Ensure screws are recessed into the footplate before the roofing felt and battens are installed over them.

Block feels loose against the fascia

Verify that the larch footplate is securely tightened against the mounting surface using long-length galvanised screws.

Mismatch with roof dimensions

Confirm that your soffit depth is at least 30cm; if it is smaller, the block may not fit securely or sit flush against the eaves.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances exterior property character and curb appeal
  • Durable construction suitable for outdoor environments
  • Easy to hide mounting points for a professional, clean finish
  • Saves time with a high-quality pre-finished white surface
  • Compatible with a wide range of common fascia materials

Cons

  • Requires a minimum soffit depth of 30cm
  • Installation must be coordinated with roofing work for best results
  • Fixed width and depth may not suit all modern architectural styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should occur before the final application of roofing felt and battening. Use the built-in larch footplate to drive galvanised screws through the block and into the structure. By installing in this sequence, the roofing felt will cover the screw heads, providing natural protection against water ingress and keeping the finish looking pristine. To maintain the product, periodic inspection is recommended alongside your roof checks. Since the finish is a pre-applied white, it can be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth if dust or debris accumulates over time. Ensure no abrasive cleaners are used to prevent scratching the surface.
