UPVC Fascias
We are suppliers and registered installers of Freefoam UPVC. We can install your upvc fascias, soffitts and guttering to a very high standard. We can
install complete new systems like 18mm magnum boards or just cap over the existing wood.
Freefoam are one of the only companies to offer you, the
end user a 20yr guarantee on their products.
The guarantee is against the following happening:
- Flaking
- Cracking
- Twisting
- Dis-colouration (pinking)
The Great thing about using only Freefoam products on your property is that the guttering is also manufactured by them and this 20yr guarantee also applies to the guttering. So no more joints and corners looking a different colour than the fascia boards. No more gutter fittings going that milky colour and fading to a different colour than the pipes or guttering.
Box ends
For me one of the hard parts about doing a fascia job is without a doubt the box end. This is the part where the barge meets the fascia.
Many people struggle with this and so do it differently. The box end tends to be area which stands out more than the rest.
We also recommend the fitting of eaves protectors and Dry verge systems whilst fitting UPVC.
If you use inferior products you might be in for problems soemwhere down the line. That is is why we use and recommend Freefoam, non lead based products.
Pinking!
What is "Pinking"?
Pinking is the term used to describe the costly discolouration of white PVC-UE cellular foam fascias and PVC-U rigid mouldings, which can occur some time after installation. The discolouration, characterised by a reddish tinge, can develop at any time but usually appears between two and five years after fitting, and more often on North-facing structures. Fixing the problem usually involves removal and installation.
What causes it?
While there is still some disagreement among technical experts as to the exact cause of pinking, fascia systems manufactured using lead-based stabilisers have been, and are still being, affected by discolouration. The safest solution for everybody is to avoid the use of lead based products completely.
Who pays for treatment?
The legal battles between raw material suppliers and fascia manufacturers rumble on some for seven years or more, because the potential liabilities are immense and blame can be difficult to pin down - in the meantime the consumer suffers.
How can you avoid these costs and problems?
There is only one sure way to avoid the risks and costs of replacement and rectification, and that is to avoid having lead-based fascia boards and accessories installed at your home.
What can you use?
Fortunately not all products are affected. Insist that your installer uses a lead-free product only and read the manufacturer’s guarantee to ensure that your home will be guaranteed against pinking. All Freefoam manufactured cellular foam fascias are 100% lead-free, thus enabling Freefoam to offer a unique 20 year extended guarantee on registered installations.
