Composite Flat Fascia Trim
Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) Flat Fascia is the definitive perimeter finishing component for your composite decking system. These wide-profile, non-structural boards serve as the vertical face trim for your deck, creating a clean, architectural skirt that elevates the overall appearance of your outdoor space while shielding the underlying framing from the elements.
Manufactured from the same high-performance blend of reclaimed bamboo fibers and recycled plastics as our NewStead composite decking boards, our flat fascia trim guarantees an exact color and texture match - delivering long-lasting durability with zero painting, staining, or sealing required.

- Color Palette: Available in Gray, Teak, Chocolate, and Charcoal to match your NewStead decking series seamlessly.
Functional Applications
A professional deck build is incomplete without perimeter fascia. Designed to wrap around the exterior edge of the deck substructure, flat fascia fulfills essential functional roles:
- Conceals Substructure Framing: Completely hides rough pressure-treated rim joists, joist hangers, and outer support posts.
- Covers Cut Board Ends: Encloses exposed, raw ends of perimeter deck boards for a flush, continuous profile.
- Protects Perimeter Joists: Serves as a protective weather shield against direct rain, snow, and UV exposure on outer framing members.
Installation Guidelines & Contractor Best Practices
Proper fastening techniques are critical for accommodating natural thermal expansion and ensuring a smooth, buckle-free skirt:
- Face-Fastening Method: Fascia boards are face-fastened directly to the deck’s outer rim joists using color-matched composite deck screws or specialized fascia screws (fasteners supplied separately).
- Mandatory Pilot Pre-Drilling: Because WPC materials naturally expand and contract with seasonal temperature fluctuations, always pre-drill pilot holes through the fascia before driving screws to prevent board splitting or cracking.
- Fastener Spacing & Thermal Gaps: Space screws according to manufacturer recommendations and maintain proper end-to-end expansion gaps to allow the material to flex without warping or buckling over time.
