Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the supporting timber is sound and level before installation. Always use P30 or P40 plastic-headed pins, as these are designed to sit flush without puncturing the vent mechanism or creating unsightly gaps. The strip is fully compatible with the broader Freefoam fascia collection. To maintain the appearance and functionality, wipe the surface occasionally with a mild detergent and a soft cloth to remove atmospheric grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the UV-stabilized surface.
