The Freefoam Bargeboard Finial is designed for homeowners and professional installers looking to provide a clean, decorative finish to the apex of roof bargeboards. It serves as an essential component for concealing joints where two rooflines meet, offering a polished aesthetic while protecting the connection point. While it is highly durable and matches standard brown UPVC fascias, users should note that careful installation is required to accommodate thermal expansion, which is critical to preventing long-term warping or seal failure.

It is not recommended to paint the UPVC as it can interfere with the material's surface properties and may lead to peeling.
No, this component is designed to be installed using specialized UPVC adhesives and sealants rather than mechanical screws.
It is generally compatible with standard UPVC bargeboards, provided the profile dimensions align, though a test fit is recommended.
Its primary function is decorative, serving to cover the joint where two bargeboards meet at the apex of a roof.
Cleaning is only necessary for aesthetic reasons; wiping it down once a year is sufficient to keep it looking new.
Check that the silicone sealant has fully cured and that the adhesive side remains firmly bonded to the bargeboard.
Ensure that both sides were not glued down; one side must be left to float using only silicone to accommodate thermal expansion.
For a successful installation, align the finial centrally over the apex joint of the bargeboards. Apply a high-quality UPVC-compatible adhesive to one side of the finial channel for a permanent bond. On the opposing side, apply a thin bead of low modulus silicone sealant; this provides a weather-tight barrier while granting enough elasticity for the materials to move as temperatures fluctuate. Compatibility is excellent with most standard brown UPVC fascia boards of similar thickness. Maintenance is minimal: simply wipe the finial down with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and mild soapy water during your annual gutter cleaning to maintain its appearance.
