Swish refurbishment fascia boards are available in 3 designs, Cappit, Ogee Cappit and Cappair. They should be fixed to a sound timber backing board.These boards are decorative. The backing board must bear the weight of the eaves course of tiles and the guttering system. |

Range Notes  Standard
lengths are 5m. Non standard lengths may be supplied where a
commercial requirements exists. Some
profiles are double-ended (with return leg and rebate on each side)
to be cut into separate boards to meet design requirements on
site. A
full range of matching, purpose-made mouldings is available for
joints, internal and external angles, as well as general purpose
trims. |

Characteristics Ogee
Cappit and Cappair feature raised ribs on the rear surface to
provide an air gap between the profile and substrate. The
ribs on Cappair profiles are cross-routed to increase air
movement and reduce the possibility of trapped moisture. |

Important Design and Installation notes: Degraded
timber must be replaced and all new timbers should be preservative
treated. The backing timber must be able to support the weight
of eaves tiles and rainwater system. An
early decision should be made as to the provision of ventilation,
either over the fascia or through the soffit. Where it
is planned to retain an existing ventilated soffit and to cap
over it, alternative ventilation must be provided by inserting
circular ventilators into the soffit or via over fascia
ventilation. If it
is not planned to use an over fascia vent strip then the
capping profile must be slightly shorter than the backing board so
that the capping profile does not bear the weight of the eaves
course of tiles(Fig13) Where
Overfascia Ventilator (C504 or C505) or Vented Eaves Protector
(C404) are specified the fascia and backing board height must be
reduced by 25mm. Where
cladding is used as a soffit, allow for the overall thickness
of the cladding profile at the join (16mm) when specifying the
fascia height. Installation
of eaves protection (ie. Jumbotec or Vented Eaves Protector C404)
will significantly increase the life expectancy of the
installation. The rear flange of the unit must dress under the
existing felt edge. Where
eaves protection is not to be fitted the roof felt must be in good
condition and dressed over the fascia down into the gutter. In the
case of severe deterioration, the roofing felt may require complete
replacement. Always
specify the recommended fixing materials and fixing centres. |

Framing out and preparatory work Disassemble
the gutter system and remove or push back the first two
courses of tiles/slates. Check existing
fascias, bargeboards, soffits and bearers and rafters for
condition and secureness of fixing (Fig 10). Suspect
timber must be cut out and replaced. New timbers should provide
support which is at least the equal of that required for new-build
work, eg a new backboard of not less than 12 mm marine
plywood. All
new timbers should be preservative treated.Installation sequence
Install
soffit boards. Refer to Soffits
for installation/preparation detail. Select
the appropriate height of capping profile. Ensure that the
profile will not bear the weight of the roof tile and will
accommodate the required soffit board. Fix
the profiles to the backing board with not less than two 50 mm
Trimtop nails or 40 mm capped screws at the recommended centres and
at all plank ends. An 8
mm gap should be left between plank lengths. Joints between
profiles are made using the appropriate corner and joint covers,
face fixed with Swish low modulus silicone C077 (Fig10). Where
specified, fit Jumbotec over-fascia protection and/or over-fascia
strip ventilator. Ensure these units are fixed into the top of the
backing board only. Dress
sarking felt back over Jumbotec or fascia, replacing any
damaged areas, and re-fix tiles/slates. Replace
gutter assembly. Gutter brackets should be securely fixed through
the profile into the backboard, using A4 (stainless steel) screws
in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. |
