Product Information

If you are installing your new PVC fascia and soffit onto either a pitched or flat roof, be aware that there are specific installation instructions that you should consider. This guide also provides extra detail to ensure your installation goes smoothly and seamlessly. Secondly, consider whether you are refurbishing or replacing your fascia, as the installation instructions will differ slightly. Once you have confirmed which route you are taking, you can get started.

BBA certified to 99/3585, CSTB approved to 2/16-1766 and Quality System certified to ISO9001:2015 by SGS Soffit bearers must be provided at max 600mm intervals (400mm for foiled and coloured soffits). A preferred method is to secure battens between the rafter foot and the wall, fixed securely at both ends and supported between these points as appropriate. Rafters must be at maximum 600mm centres. Note: centres not exceeding 400mm are required for foiled and coloured profiles. Install soffit boards by nailing to the existing soffit or each soffit bearer with 40mm Trimtop nails or capped screws. Where possible, the first two courses of tiles/slates should be taken up and set aside with a view to renewing the sarking felt.

Select the appropriate height of the profile, having regard to the required details at roof oversail and soffit board locations. uPVC fascia boards are extremely durable and, unlike wood, they don't rot or warp over time. In fact, uPVC fascia boards require virtually no maintenance, and with their long lifespan and easy installation process, it’s easy to see why they’re such a popular choice among homeowners.

If the existing soffit is to be retained and requires new roof space ventilation, drill 70mm diameter holes and fix circular soffit ventilators at required centres.Bargeboards at gable ends require a gable ladder or other suitable timbers to provide adequate fixing for the barge board at maximum 600mm centres. Suitable framing is also required to give adequate support at junctions between bargeboard and fascia and at hip and valley rafters. Available in a variety of colours and woodgrain finishes in a range of sizes, the coloured fascia board features Freefoam patented Colormax technology while the woodgrain finishes have been produced using market-leading Renolit Exofol with built-in Solar Shield Technology (SST) to reduce heat absorption and minimalize profile temperature and expansion. With a 10-year guarantee on coloured and woodgrain finishes and 20 years for white, this fascia board has been made with extra Titanium Dioxide, protecting against UV damage meaning it looks good and lasts for longer.
