PVC Fascia and Bargeboards
Hi-tech cellular structure of the fascia & barge boards is set to replace the traditional materials. Installation of the fascia and barge board is fast and uncomplicated offering contractors large savings in installation costs, and to home owners, a clean, white no maintenance finish.
Advantages of the system
1. Low Cost
No counter sink, drilling, planning, sanding, priming, undercoating and painting.
2. Trouble free installation
The unique uPVC structure behaves just like timber. It can be cut, screwed and nailed with standard woodworking equipment. It is lightweight, tough and robust.
3. No maintenance
The uPVC foam and outer skin cannot rot and is easily cleaned with warm soapy water.
4. Dimensional Stability
In general the linear thermal movement of uPVC foam profile is controlled within the cellular profile design and by the method of fixing. The foam structure of uPVC profile will absorb strain energy within itself thus minimizing the need for expansion allowances.
5. Strength
Gutter brackets can be mounted directly on to the uPVC fascia. It is advisable to spread the gutter load wherever possible by securing gutter brackets directly through the fascia on to the rafter timbers.
6. UV Resistance
SIMBA uPVC products are titanium modified to reduce the harmful effects of the sun thereby prolonging life, whiteness and elegant finish.

Fixing instructions
1. Ensure that the fixing surface is absolutely straight and true. Uneven rafters will result in an undulating finish on the fascia and barge.
2. Use a fine-tooth saw when cutting uPVC profiles.
3. Secure the fascia or barge board to roof timber using brass screws. Maximum support centres 800mm. A plastic cover cap is supplied with the screws. Apply a drop of adhesive to the back of the cap and press into position.
