FREEFOAM SAYS “IT’S ALL ABOUT COLOUR”
We spoke to Freefoam Commercial Director Colin St John to find out all about colour fascia and
soffit, the changes in the PVC market from white to colour and what this means for suppliers.
Tell us a bit about
the background.
How can installers
benefit from the
colour range?
For many years white was the
only option and the only choice
for PVC Window, Doors and
Fascia. Colour was difficult to get
and often had to be ordered well
in advance and in large quantities.
But things have changed. Man-
ufacturers have developed new
techniques and made colour a
permanent part of their ranges.
So how are your colour
products made?

products.
How many colours
are available
We have a range of eight col-
ours: white, black, leather brown,
pale gold, sable, storm grey,
anthracite grey and dark grey. We
are finding the grey shades to be
the most popular, because they
match to windows and doors. We
recommend if suppliers want to
get into colour promoting grey is a
good way to start.
Colour gives builders and home
improvement specialists the op-
portunity to develop new business
and give customers more choice.
Developers and architects like
the advantages of using colour as
a signature for their building pro-
jects and homeowners, inspired by
home improvement programmes,
now regularly choose colour to
personalise their property and
give it the all important ‘wow’
factor. All industry research shows
the trend is set to continue.
