Description
The Freefoam 175mm uPVC Fascia Capping Board is a 10mm cover board designed to improve the appearance of sound existing timber fascia without carrying out a complete roofline replacement. Supplied in 5 metre lengths, it provides a neat, low-maintenance uPVC finish while the original supporting fascia remains in place behind it.
The 175mm width gives useful additional coverage for deeper roof edges and is available in a particularly versatile range of stocked colours, from classic White through to Anthracite Grey, Chartwell Green and traditional woodgrain finishes.
Why Choose the Freefoam 175mm Fascia Cover Board?
-
Designed specifically for fascia capping
Ideal where the existing timber fascia is sound but would benefit from a cleaner, lower-maintenance outer finish. -
175mm wide profile
Provides greater coverage than narrower 100mm, 125mm and 150mm cover boards. -
10mm thick construction
A dedicated over-capping board rather than a structural full replacement fascia. -
5 metre board length
Helps reduce the number of joints required across longer roof runs. -
Low-maintenance uPVC
No routine painting or staining is required on the finished fascia surface. -
Good choice of stocked colours
Match the roofline with popular grey, black, cream, green and timber-effect finishes. -
Can be cut to size on site
Easy to adapt around corners, roof runs and other installation details. -
Matching Freefoam accessories available
Compatible joints, corners and finishing trims help achieve a professional result.
Available Stocked Colours
- White
- Agate Grey Foil – RAL 7038
- Anthracite Grey Foil
- Black Ash
- Chartwell Green Foil
- Cream Foil
- Light Oak
- Rosewood
This mix of contemporary and traditional finishes makes the 175mm board particularly easy to coordinate with existing windows, doors, soffits and guttering.
Important: Cover Board or Replacement Fascia?
The 175mm Reveal Cover Board is designed to cap suitable existing fascia. It should not be confused with Freefoam's thicker Magnum replacement fascia.
-
175mm Reveal Cover Board – 10mm thick
Used over sound existing timber fascia or a suitable backing board. -
175mm Magnum Fascia – 18mm thick
Used where the old fascia is removed and a full replacement board is required.
If the timber behind is rotten, badly split or structurally compromised, simply covering it is not recommended. The underlying fascia should be properly assessed and replaced where necessary.

Ideal for Roofline Refurbishment
The 175mm board is a good option when existing timber fascia remains serviceable but the outer face looks tired or requires regular maintenance. Capping it with uPVC gives the roof edge a refreshed appearance and removes the need to keep repainting the exposed timber face.
It is suitable for a wide range of domestic renovation work, including houses, extensions, garages and other roofline improvement projects.
Installation Notes
The timber fascia or backing material behind the cover board must be sound, secure and suitable to receive the new uPVC profile. The 10mm board should not be treated as a structural fascia on its own.
Where gutter brackets are fitted, suitable fixings should pass through the cover board and secure into the supporting timber behind.

Stocked colours are normally delivered within 2–3 working days from the point of order. Larger quantities and certain UK delivery areas may occasionally require a little longer.

Help with my new garage roof!
Trade Warehouse could not have been more helpful. They very patiently guided a roofing newbie through all of the stuff I would need to do the job and provided helpful tips along the way. It's rare to find a company offering such a fantastic level of customer service as standard. I would highly recommend them and will certainly use them again.

Garden Storage
My contractor (Charlie Keep) recommended you to me so I could order the materials online for delivery direct to my home. These were for a project to construct a Garden Storage Area. The materials were perfect and the whole process was simple and slick with materials delivered on time and very well packaged. Charlie has since completed the project & I am very happy with the outcome.

Right product, right price, right delivery. Sure, it was only one length of cast iron guttering but they took the order seriously, packed it well and kept me updated on delivery. And when I opened the very good packaging I found it was exactly what I had wanted. How can you do better!!
