✔ Installation Guide: Covering Your Existing Timber Fascia

When installing your COLORBOND® fascia cover over existing timber fascia, consider the following best-practice steps:

  • Attachment: Use flat head screws positioned along the top edge at roughly 1-metre intervals to firmly secure the cover in place.
  • Concealment: These screws will typically remain hidden, as the cover is usually paired with guttering or barge capping positioned over the top – ensuring a clean, seamless finish.
  • Alignment: Slide the fascia cover over the timber fascia, ensuring it's accurately aligned for full coverage and ease of installation.

These installation tips are based on industry knowledge, but every site has its own nuances. We recommend assessing your specific project needs to ensure the fascia is installed to the highest standard.
