The Freefoam 225mm Fascia Capping Board (FW225AG) is ideal for homeowners and professional contractors looking to upgrade roofline aesthetics with a durable, low-maintenance finish. Providing a sleek anthracite grey look, this board excels at protecting roof rafters while hiding weathered timber; however, it is strictly designed for use over sound, solid substrates rather than acting as a standalone load-bearing fascia.

No, this is a capping board designed to be installed over a solid timber sub-frame or backing board.
The board features a 10mm bottom lip for structural rigidity.
Use a fine-toothed hand saw or a circular saw with a plastic-cutting blade for the cleanest results.
Yes, this is a permanent finish engineered to match modern home design trends and resist sun damage.
Store them flat in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent warping before they are fixed in place.
Ensure that the fixing centers do not exceed 400mm and that appropriate nails are used to secure the edges.
Use joint covers or ensure ends are cut perfectly square and allowed a small gap (2-3mm) for thermal expansion.
Use colour-matched polytop nails to blend with the anthracite grey finish.
To install, ensure the existing timber is rot-free and dry. If the timber is uneven, install a new backing board to provide a level surface. Fix the board using two rows of polytop nails at 400mm intervals to prevent 'oil-canning' or thermal expansion issues. For cleaning, simply wipe down with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth; avoid using abrasive chemicals or solvent-based cleaners that could strip the grey finish. Always measure twice before cutting, and use a fine-toothed saw to prevent chipping the edge.
