Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 175mm Fascia Board is an ideal solution for homeowners and professional contractors seeking a long-lasting alternative to traditional timber fascias. Engineered for direct installation onto rafter feet, these boards eliminate the need for costly backing boards, making them perfect for both new construction and home renovation projects. While they provide a sleek, modern aesthetic and exceptional durability, users should ensure their rafter measurements are precise, as these boards are designed for specific structural mounting.

FAQs

Can I paint these boards a different color?

These boards are pre-finished in anthracite grey. Painting is generally not recommended as it may void the warranty and the finish is designed to be permanent.

What is the length of each board?

Each board is supplied in a 5-meter length.

Is this product suitable for coastal areas?

Yes, the plastic composition is highly resistant to salt air and corrosion, making it suitable for coastal environments.

Do I need special tools to install these?

Standard carpentry tools such as a fine-toothed saw, drill, and hammer (or nail gun) are sufficient for installation.

How do I join two boards together?

Use a standard fascia joiner or a suitable jointing trim designed for the Freefoam system to allow for expansion and contraction.

Troubleshooting

Board appearing slightly loose after installation

Check that all fixing points are securely fastened to the rafter and ensure the correct quantity of nails/screws was used per meter.

Difficulty fitting the soffit board into the rebate

Ensure there is no debris inside the rebate channel and that the soffit board thickness matches the standard specification.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for traditional timber backing boards
  • Highly resistant to rot and atmospheric pollution
  • Modern anthracite grey aesthetic
  • Fast and efficient installation process
  • Minimal maintenance required over the product lifespan

Cons

  • Requires precise rafter alignment for optimal fit
  • Limited to a fixed 175mm width
  • Plastic material may expand or contract slightly with extreme temperature fluctuations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: Ensure all rafter feet are level before beginning installation. Use appropriate stainless steel fixings to prevent corrosion and secure the boards directly into the timber rafters. Pre-drill holes if necessary to prevent splitting.

Compatibility: This board is compatible with standard soffit boards designed for 18mm rebate slots. Ensure your gutter brackets are spaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific weight of your chosen gutter system.

Care: The product is virtually maintenance-free. If it becomes dusty or dirty over time, simply clean the surface with a soft sponge, warm water, and a mild household detergent. Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh chemical solvents that could damage the smooth anthracite finish.
