175mm uPVC Capping Board x 5m
A 175mm capping board is a 9mm uPVC cover board that fits straight over your existing timber fascia, so you don't have to strip the old boards off. It comes in 5m lengths, needs no painting, and wipes clean. These are Eurocell boards, and every colour on this page is the same 175mm width, so pick your finish and add it to your basket.
What a 175mm capping board is used for
A 175mm capping board covers a face up to 166mm, so it's the usual choice over old 6-inch (152mm) timber fascia. It's also a handy width for square-edge window boards and cill covers.
How to measure for 175mm capping
Measure the face of your timber fascia from top to bottom. A 175mm capping board covers a face up to 166mm, with the 35mm return tucking under the bottom edge of the timber. If you're between sizes, take the wider one.

175mm capping board questions
Do I need to take my old fascia off?
No. A 175mm capping board fits straight over existing timber fascia, as long as the timber is sound. If it's soft or rotten, you need full replacement fascia instead, because a cover board won't fix a failing board underneath.
My fascia is 6 inches. Do I need 150mm or 175mm?
175mm. Six inches is about 152mm, and a 175mm board covers a face up to 166mm. A 150mm board only covers up to 141mm.
How quickly can I get it?
White is usually with you in a few working days. Woodgrain and grey foils can take longer, because some are made to order by the branch. Delivery is £9.99, or free on orders over £150, and you can collect from a local depot instead.
