Fascia Board Installation
How to install fascia boards for your Hyperion® composite decking
Overview
A composite decking fascia board skirts around the perimeter of the deck. This provides a seamless look and hides the underlying substructure.
When installing composite fascia boards you must ensure a suitable ventilation gap. This allows air flow around the base of the deck.
- Hard / concrete foundations: minimum 20mm gap
- Soft / non-concrete foundations: minimum 40mm gap
Note: Installing fascia boards results in visible screws. If you are concerned about visible screws pick up a pack of coloured screws to make them less visible.
Fascia Board Installation
Step 1
Pre-drill holes
Pre-drill 4mm countersunk pilot holes through the fascia board to avoid material splitting.
Step 2
Line up the board
Line up the top fascia board edge with the top of the decking to hide the grooved decking edge.
Step 3
Fix with screws
Fix in place with 50mm countersunk screws:
- Fascia boarding should only be screwed in place.
- It is not recommended to attach the boards using adhesive glue.
Expansion gaps
Ensure you have left appropriate expansion gaps where fascia board ends meet (minimum 0.2% the board length).
