Description
The Freefoam F109 5m uPVC Soffit Ventilation Strip is designed to introduce continuous airflow into the roof space through a solid soffit installation. It is used alongside Freefoam General Purpose Board where ventilation is required, providing a neat linear vent within the soffit rather than relying on separate circular vents.
The F109 profile is equivalent to 25mm continuous ventilation, making it a useful option for roofline installations that require a higher level of eaves airflow. Supplied in a full 5 metre length, it can be cut on site to suit the roof run.
Why Choose the Freefoam F109 Vent Strip?
-
Equivalent to 25mm continuous ventilation
Provides a continuous airflow path along the eaves when installed correctly. -
Designed for use with Freefoam General Purpose Board
A purpose-made ventilation accessory for solid soffit installations. -
Cleaner than individual circular vents
Creates one continuous ventilated strip rather than multiple separate vent holes. -
Full 5 metre length
Ideal for longer roof runs and can be cut down on site where required. -
Integrated soffit solution
Allows you to use standard solid General Purpose Board while adding dedicated ventilation where needed. -
Low-maintenance uPVC
No painting, staining or ongoing timber treatment is required.
What Is This Vent Strip Used For?
The F109 is fitted within the soffit line to allow outside air to enter the roof space at eaves level. This helps provide the airflow needed to reduce the risk of moisture becoming trapped within the roof void.
It is particularly useful where you want to use Freefoam's solid General Purpose Soffit Board but the roof design still requires dedicated eaves ventilation.
F109 Vent Strip vs Pre-Vented Soffit
-
F109 Soffit Vent Strip
Used with separate solid soffit boards to introduce a continuous ventilated section. -
Pre-Vented General Purpose Board
Has ventilation slots already formed directly into the soffit board.
Both can provide roofline ventilation, but the F109 gives you the flexibility to position a dedicated ventilated strip within an otherwise solid soffit installation.
Installation Guidance
- Install the vent strip as part of the soffit run in conjunction with compatible Freefoam General Purpose Board.
- Provide suitable support behind the soffit and ventilation profile.
- Keep the ventilation slots clear of insulation, trims and other obstructions.
- Cut the 5m profile carefully to suit the required roof run.
- Follow the roof design and Freefoam guidance to ensure the required ventilation provision is achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the F109 vent strip actually do?
It creates a continuous ventilated section within the soffit, allowing airflow into the roof space at eaves level.
Can I use it with solid soffit board?
Yes. That is one of its main uses. It is designed to work with Freefoam General Purpose Board where additional ventilation is required.
How much ventilation does it provide?
Freefoam specifies the F109 as equivalent to 25mm continuous ventilation.
Is it the same as pre-vented soffit?

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.
