Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the soffit board has been cut to accommodate the width of the vent strip. Align the strip along the edge and secure it using appropriate corrosion-resistant fixings. This product is highly compatible with standard PVC-U fascia and soffit systems. For care, the strip is virtually maintenance-free. If it becomes covered in debris or dust over time, simply clean it with a damp cloth or a mild soapy water solution. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or solvent-based chemicals that could damage the PVC-U surface finish.
