Bargeboard Provides a finish to the gable end of your home sealing the verge. Bargeboards and fascias are manufactured from 19mm heavy duty board to provide long life and durability. Finished with a highly polished surface to reflect heat to reduce expansion and contraction problems which may occur with thinner boards. A foamed core makes it lightweight and resistant to water ingress. & 5 meter lengths are used to produce fewer joints

Current building regulations require ventilation in the soffit for new buildings (equivalent to a one inch gap along the whole perimeter), although not absolutely necessary, when fitting replacement soffit, it is worth considering
fitting pre-ventilated soffit to improve ventilation of the roof void (picture above right).

There are many reasons why, when replacing your homes bargeboards and fascias, to use uPVC and just some of its qualities are listed below

Excellent weatherability
Weather has no effect on PVC-U building materials. Problems like rotting, rust, etc. just don't apply. Even in special conditions like coast areas (salt, storm, sun,) PVC-U is more applicable.

Self extinguishing
PVC-U burns when subjected to flame, but does not burn by itself: The product extinguishes immediately when the external flame source is removed.

Resistance to most chemical products
The list of chemical products that PVC-U is able to resist is very long indeed and can be obtained on request.

Anti fungi properties
No bacteriological development on PVC-U => hospitals, food industry, ?

Easy to clean = low maintenance
Its closed, smooth surface means that PVC-U is extremely easy to clean using a gentle household detergent dissolved in water. This also means that the product is virtually dirt resistant because there are no pores that can be filled with dirt?

Thermal insulator
Like wood, PVC-U is a good insulator. Its coefficient of heat conductivity is actually slightly lower than wood at 0.17 W/mC?, compared with 0.23 W/mC?. The equivalent coefficient for aluminium is approximately 210 W/mC?.

Bondable
Additional plastic components, such as end cap can easily be bonded to PVC-U.
