48 BUILDING FABRIC Freefoam announces new box end fascia board for 2026 F
reefoam Building Products is pleased to announce an exciting product update for 2026.
The popular Woodgrain FMS Magnum Square
Leg Fascia (405 mm) is now available in a shorter length of 1.25 metres. This new addition to the comprehensive
roofl ine range has been introduced following customer feedback to make installations easier, reduce waste, and lower costs for customers. The new 1.25 metre box end board
is available in Woodgrain Black Ash and Woodgrain Anthracite Grey. This new product has been designed with installers in mind. The shorter lengths are particularly suitable for the creation of the ‘box end’ of a roofl ine installation – where the fascia meets the bargeboard at the corner of a roof.
BENEFITS FOR INSTALLERS • Perfect for the quick and easy creation of box ends.
• Reduces material wastage. • Lowers overall cost. • Easier to store and transport.
Richard Jackson, UK sales director, explains: “Our customers have been asking for a more convenient solution for creating box ends, and this new product delivers exactly that. It’s a simple change that will make a big diff erence in reducing waste and improving effi ciency on site.” Freefoam Building Products are committed
to developing and improving product ranges to meet market needs. “Innovation for us is about listening to installers and PVC stockists and responding with practical, cost-eff ective products,” added Louise Sanderson, group
marketing manager at Freefoam. “This update is another example of how we’re making life easier for our customers.”

www.freefoam.com Energy improvement boost for Edwardian house retrofi t with sealant tape
Energy effi ciency improvements to an Edwardian property in Oxfordshire have been provided thanks to ISO-Chemie’s thermal insulating and load bearing bracket support system. The move sees WINFRAMER units retrofi tted as part of an initiative to bring the poorly insulated solid walled house built in 1909 in Oxford, up to current energy effi ciency standards. Passivhaus certifi ed and fi re rated to up to 30 minutes, WINFRAMER is a prefabricated installation frame, manufactured to accommodate cavities up to 250 mm that allows windows to be supported independently from the face of the wall regardless of any external cladding being in place. Quick and easy to install, the product’s application in Oxford is seen as part of a solution to meet a wider Government strategy to reduce carbon levels in housing that has single skin walls or non-cavity walls – these buildings have a reputation for leaking considerable amounts of energy, heat and sound. The composite WINFRAMER brackets can bear heavy window loads, including bi-fold doors, to provide a reliable, strong and high-performance support frame. Installation is quick with windows attached directly and secured mechanically using either standard fi xing screws or fi xing lugs in the usual manner. A hinged insulation core combines with the composite structural bracket to become an integral part of the overall wall structure.
