The Eurocell Golden Oak Capping Board excels in transforming and protecting various surfaces with minimal effort. In real-world applications, its primary use is to cover existing, possibly worn or outdated, timber fascia boards on rooflines. By capping over them, it instantly updates the exterior appearance, offering a fresh, clean, and modern look without the substantial cost and labour of removing and replacing entire fascia systems.
Beyond external fascia, this board is equally effective indoors. It can be used to provide a durable and attractive surface for internal window sills, protecting them from daily wear and moisture. Similarly, it's an excellent choice for lining window reveals, adding a cohesive aesthetic, or neatly boxing in unsightly pipework, particularly in utility rooms or bathrooms.
The Golden Oak finish ensures that the aesthetic improvement is significant, mimicking the look of real wood without the associated maintenance. The colour fast PVC-u material means that this rich colour will withstand sunlight and weather exposure without fading, making it a reliable choice for long-term curb appeal. Its weatherproof nature ensures that external applications are well-protected from rain, wind, and UV, contributing to the longevity of your home's exterior.
Preparation: Ensure the existing timber surface is clean, dry, and free from loose debris or flaking paint. For best adhesion, lightly sand any glossy surfaces.
Measurement: Accurately measure the length required for each section. Remember to account for any corners or joins. For window sills, measure the width and length, ensuring the board covers the existing sill completely.
Cutting: Use a fine-tooth saw specifically designed for cutting PVC or plastic to achieve clean, precise cuts. A mitre box can help ensure accurate angles for corners.
Adhesion: Apply a suitable solvent-free, high-grab adhesive (like a uPVC trim adhesive or silicone sealant) generously to the back of the capping board. Alternatively, the board can be securely fixed with non-corrosive screws if preferred, ensuring pilot holes are drilled to prevent splitting.
Placement: Carefully position the board over the existing structure, pressing firmly along its entire length to ensure good contact with the adhesive. If using screws, drive them in neatly and flush with the surface.
Finishing: For external applications or areas exposed to moisture, use a compatible silicone sealant along all edges and joints to provide a watertight seal and a neat finish. Remove any excess adhesive or sealant immediately.
This 9mm capping board is designed to be fitted over existing timber fascia, window sills, or other flat surfaces. It is compatible with most standard timber dimensions as long as the 150mm width of this specific board provides adequate coverage. Ensure the existing surface is structurally sound before installation.
The Eurocell Golden Oak Capping Board is maintenance-free. To keep it looking its best:
Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the boards with a soft cloth or sponge using warm water and a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads, which can damage the finish.
Inspection: Although guaranteed against warping and cracking, it's good practice to occasionally inspect for any minor damage or sealant degradation, especially after extreme weather conditions.
