Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam Black Fascia Bargeboard Finial is designed for homeowners and professional installers looking to provide a clean, finished aesthetic at the roof apex of a UPVC fascia system. This decorative accessory effectively masks the joint where two bargeboards meet, adding a professional touch to your roofline. While it significantly enhances curb appeal, it is important to note that the finial must be installed with specific attention to thermal movement to prevent buckling or joint stress over time.

FAQs

Why do I need to use silicone instead of glue on both sides?

UPVC expands and contracts with temperature changes. Using silicone on one side provides a flexible 'sliding' joint that prevents the finial from warping.

Can I use this on a wooden bargeboard?

This product is specifically designed for UPVC fascia systems; using it on timber may result in poor fitment and long-term incompatibility.

How do I clean the black finish?

Use warm soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth. Never use bleach or abrasive scouring pads.

What type of silicone should I use?

Always use a low-modulus silicone sealant, as this provides the necessary flexibility for exterior construction applications.

Is this finial compatible with all Freefoam systems?

Yes, this finial is designed to work with standard Freefoam UPVC fascia and bargeboard products.

Troubleshooting

The finial appears to be warping or buckling.

Ensure that one side of the finial is secured with flexible silicone rather than hard-set glue to allow for natural thermal expansion.

Water is leaking behind the joint.

Check the silicone seal on the expansion side of the finial and re-apply if the sealant has cracked or peeled away.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a professional aesthetic finish to roof apexes
  • Weather-resistant UPVC material prevents rust and decay
  • Low maintenance requirements once properly installed
  • Matches standard black UPVC fascia systems

Cons

  • Requires specific installation techniques for thermal movement
  • Not suitable for non-UPVC fascia systems without modification
  • Requires use of both glue and silicone for proper performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the two bargeboards are properly cut and aligned at the apex. Apply a high-quality UPVC adhesive to one side of the finial's mounting surface. On the opposite side, apply a bead of low-modulus silicone sealant. This dual-method approach allows one side to remain fixed while the other accommodates thermal movement. For care, keep the finial looking new by periodically washing it with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or solvent-based cleaners, as these can damage the finish of the UPVC.
