The Freefoam Double Ended Fascia Joint is an essential component for professional roofline installers and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a seamless, professional finish on their fascia installations. Designed to bridge the necessary 10mm expansion gap between PVC boards, it ensures structural integrity and thermal movement management, though it requires specific application techniques with adhesive and sealant to function correctly.

No, you must only glue one side. If you glue both sides, the PVC cannot expand or contract, which will cause the joint to buckle or the boards to warp.
A standard hacksaw or a fine-toothed hand saw is sufficient for trimming the PVC to the required size.
PVC fascia boards expand and contract significantly with changes in outside temperature. The 10mm gap provides the necessary space to prevent mechanical failure of the roofline system.
This product is specifically designed for PVC fascia systems where thermal expansion management is required.
You should use a low-modulus silicone sealant, which is designed to handle joint movement without losing adhesion.
Verify that both sides of the joint were not hard-glued; one side must remain flexible using silicone sealant.
Ensure the fascia boards are perfectly level and that the 10mm expansion gap is consistent across the entire length of the joint.
Installation requires attention to detail to ensure the system remains functional. First, ensure the fascia boards are cut square. Measure the depth of the board and use a fine-toothed saw or hacksaw to trim the joint to size if necessary. To maintain the integrity of the expansion mechanism, glue only one side of the joint to the fascia using a suitable solvent weld or PVC adhesive. The opposite side should be treated with a bead of low-modulus silicone sealant. This prevents the joint from binding while keeping moisture out. Regular cleaning with a mild soap solution is recommended to maintain the finish.
