Fascia Selection (9mm or 16mm)
9mm Fascia Board
9mm board should only be used for refurbishment and renovation
when fixed on to existing sound timber. The 9mm board should
not be fixed directly to a gable ladder. If existing timber
is damp, rotten or if its condition is in any doubt, use
the 16mm replacement fascia board range.
16mm Fascia Board
16mm board can be fixed directly onto gable ladder. The
16mm board is generally used in new built and 'rip-out'
situations. It is generally regarded as a premium solution
due to the boards superior strength and rigidity.
