Range Notes  Standard
barge profile lengths are 5m. Non standard lengths may be supplied
where a commercial requirements exists. Swish
Decorative Roofline boards may be specified in either Concave or
Convex formats. Non standard designs may be supplied where a
commercial requirements exists. Roofstyle
is an alternative decorative finish to the barge that consists of
450mm convex and concave sections which fit to the face of a
suitable gable support. A comprehensive Roofstyle Design &
Fixing Guide may be viewed and/or downloaded from the link

Characteristics Decorative
Roofline boards are are chamfered on the reverse side of the

Important Design and Installation notes: Degraded
timber must be replaced and all new timbers should be preservative
treated. Always
specify the recommended fixing materials and fixing centres. Fig
25 shows a standard detail for an oversail verge where the gable
ladder supplies the support. Where
there is no significant oversail the soffit may be dispensed with
(Fig 26). Alternatively
the bargeboard may be deepened for effect by up to 50mm below the
level of the soffit. (Fig 27) A
gable ladder may supply the necessary fixing. If the distance
between the gable ladder noggins is greater than 600mm (400mm for
foiled soffits), softwood battens should be fixed to the wall
between the noggins. Care
should be taken to aline and space the fixings consistently to
enhance the look of the gable end.Decorative Bargeboards
Soffits
for Decorative Bargeboards must be supported at both edges by the
timber substructure as the boards have no soffit groove. Consideration
should be given to the treatment of the mitre cut at the roof apex.
The point at which the cut is made can considerably vary the
appearance of the installation. (Fig 36)Gable and in-line gable details
At
the gable apex the bargeboard is mitre cut leaving a 4mm expansion
gap either side of the centre line. (Fig33) The
junction can be finished with a face-fix joint cover to match the
bargeboard profile, or covered with one of two gable apex covers
from the Swish range.(Go to Installation Guide for Apex
Finishes for details). Use Swish low modulus adhesive. The
same apex details apply to in-line gables. Fig 33 shows two
possible alternatives for the junction between gable bargeboards
and fascias. |

Installation Sequence
It
is best practice for the verge and undercloak tiles/slates to
be stripped for refurbishment work, and then re-bedded on
completion of the gable roofline. In
all cases, adequate timber support should be provided for both the
bargeboard and soffit (where fitted), whether new build or
replacement. The
gable ladder or other support should be checked for line and
suitable packings applied where required. The
bargeboard should be fixed with a minimum of 2 no. Trimtop nails or
capped screws (see Fixings for
appropriate sizes) at max. 600mm centres (400mm for coloured
profiles). |
