If only every info video was like this one. After watching video after video of guys talking for 20 mins plus i was still lost about pvc fascia.. this guy cleared everything up for me in less than 3 minutes and I’m already starting my project
I understand fascia board covers they're fairly self explanatory but can you explain combining fascia cover boards with soffit cover boards with vents please.
Very clear information, I would however be very disappointed if someone fitted my fascia with so many polytops, it looks bloody awful. I would rather have to maintain timber fascia than live with that. Sorry.
Brilliant vid, I have searched everywhere but cannot find any information on how high you should set the top of the facia board above the rafter. before setting the overhang of Redland 49 tiles. any advice appreciated / Many thanks
Hi Terence, thanks for your comment. The fascia board isn’t strictly supposed to support the bottom row of tiles, this is the job of the tilt fillet shown in the video. The tilt fillet effectively changes the angle of the bottom row of tiles and locks them in place. The fascia board should sit slightly below the top of the tilt fillet.
10mm for longitudinal (presumably) expansion of UPVC fascia boards? Over what length? And under what temperature change? And what happens at all those fixing points on each length? On heating does the board material compress locally at each nail/screw and then magically expand again (without damage to either the board or the fixing) when the board cools? I await your answers with bated breath. ;-)
@@PBSLGroup so the fixing nails close to the ends of the boards have to bend back and forth 5mm with every expansion and contraction of the board, so we hope no one thinks of that then that problem goes away.
Thank you for share . I need fix our house pvc soffit and fascia . I am looking contractor . I ask u how much will be cost all new pvc soffit and fascia ?? The house is 1888 sq .
Unfortunately it is impossible to give you an idea of cost of materials without seeing the house or the roof plan. Any local builder or fascia installer should be able to give you a rough idea of cost though if you are not confident taking on the job yourself.
In another video they superglue the pieces that cover the expansion joints. Surely this defeats the purpose of the gap? Or are they only glued on one side to allow movement?
Hi Gavin, thanks for your query. Cellular Soffit Boards (Plain and Vented Soffits) are installed and fixed to the bearers using 40mm A4 Grade Stainless Steel Polytop Pins. Polytop Pins are both shorter and a smaller gauge than polytop nails, due to the fact that soffit boards are never load bearing. The heads are also smaller, making them less obtrusive. Soffits should be fixed with two pins at 600mm centres (400mm for woodgrain). Hollow soffits are secret fixed to soffit bearers using 30mm stainless steel cladding nails. The lip of the board is nailed, with the fixing being covered by the next board.
Thanks for your comment, you have to be careful here as there are several different factors that can affect this. Many fascia boards in the UK are not strong enough to support the weight of the bottom course of the roof covering, so what you suggest is OK as long as the tilt fillet still carries the the load.
Craig Harrison the nails that are normally used are called poly pins.. (a nail with a bit of white plastic on its head) pilot holes are drilled in marked out positions and then nailed on. So the answer to your question is they are not in slits. Hope this helps.
Hi Craig, thanks for your comment. In the past some old PVC systems did incorporate slots for the fixings, but over time the system has evolved to be used as explained by Glen in the previous answer. The whole system therefore expands and contracts around the fixings.
help, would you know how to fit conservatory roof into where roof tiles will meet roof tiles,fitting it in to barge board space, not got a lot of fall on our conservatory roof as it is, no room left for guttering to go back on ?so it will go onto conservatory its self,
Thanks for your enquiry, could you send us an image of the exact site so that we can take a look and hopefully give you some advice? Do please send us an email to sales@pbslgroup.co.uk
Why can I find nothing like this in the U.S?!! I want that beveled edge, slotted, and thick enough to hold a gutter. It appears it is a Euro thing but it is clearly better than the wood and aluminum and vinyl wraps sold here. What I do?!
We agree with you - eaves construction is very different in the U.S. and for the most part it is much lighter duty. One of the reasons may be climate - PVC expands and contracts much more than the materials used over there when it is exposed to extremes of heat and cold, which we don't tend to have so much of in the UK.
We actually agree with you here, the guy who built this model for us was over-enthusiastic with the polypins - superglue gives a much neater finish on the trims.
PVC has not been a good solution for guttering as it will get brittle with age and has questionable UV protection unless painted, and rightly the massive expansion rate. What about Colorbond properly installed! or Timber with an oiled finish!. Also the look of it, like living in a Tupperware party. No thanks
Not everyone likes the look of PVC - it comes down to personal choice. PVC Gutter manufacture now is far more advanced than it was 20 years ago though, with long lasting looks and durability. Like all industries it has developed over time, and the now brittle or faded gutters that were installed 20 + years ago are a thing of the past - just make sure you buy from a reputable manufacturer.
@@PBSLGroup Yes but what about the recycling, does the PBSL Group have a program where this product can be returned after life and not get buried in to the ground?
@@KF-bj3ce The recycling of plastics is becoming more and more common, with many materials including now being manufactured solely from recycled PVC.The British Plastics Federation is also actively involved in PIRAP, which is the Plastics Industry Recycling Action Plan. PIRAP was set up in June 2015 to help meet the 57% plastic packaging recycling target by 2017. The end target date has now been extended out to 2020 - whilst we are making good progress as a whole in this area there is still a challenge for industry in general as further infrastructure development is needed.
