How to Fit Plastic Fascia Boards

UPVC FasciasAt certain times of the year, due to weather conditions, timber fascia boards are more lightly to become damaged, and start to deteriorate. The deterioration found in timber fascia boards usually occurs with the differences in temperature and weather conditions that come with the changing seasons.

For example, in the winter time, if small cracks appear in your timber fascia and rain water which freezes gets into these cracks, this can cause the cracks to expand and progressively get worse. In the summer time, large changes in temperature from cold to warm can cause your timber fascia to expand and contract, which can cause warping, cracking and the pealing of paint.

The easiest way to deal with these problems is to cap over your existing timber fascia with a UPVC fascia, (as long as it is good condition i.e not cracking, warping or rotting) or completely replace the existing timber fascia with a full replacement UPVC fascia. At Speedy Plastics and Resins, we supply the complete range of Freefoam UPVC fascia boards in a large variety of widths, thicknesses and colours.

Freefoam products are 100% lead free and are manufactured using an advanced environmentally friendly formulation for long life colour and maximum performance. The two-part co-extrusion process produces fascia boards which are made of a cellular foam core (PVC-UE) with a top coating of rigid PVC to give its smooth, protective and hardwearing skin. The material is lightweight and can be worked in the same way as timber, having similar regard for safety and application issues.
