What is the role of the BILKA fascia board bracket?

The bracket supports the gutter when attached to the fascia area of the roof and must match the gutter section of 125 or 150 mm. The official BILKA guide describes the combi hooks directly mounted to the fascia beam as elements that maintain the necessary gutter slope. The current Shopify name is "Fascia Board Bracket," so the exact factory type must be confirmed with the SKU before ordering. It is not a bracket for 90/100 mm downpipe.

Which size fascia board bracket is chosen for the BILKA 125/90 or 150/100 system?

For a 125 mm gutter, a 125 mm bracket is chosen, and for a 150 mm gutter, a 150 mm bracket. The number corresponds to the gutter part of the system, not the diameter of the downpipe. Therefore, the 125/90 system uses 125 mm brackets, and the 150/100 system uses 150 mm brackets. Brackets of the two sections are not interchangeable. Before installation, the shape of the fascia board, the straightness, and the sufficient strength of the base for the chosen fasteners are checked.

What colors and SKUs are available for the BILKA fascia board bracket?

Shopify contains 36 variants: 18 for 125 mm and 18 for 150 mm, with matte, glossy, or "Zinc" finish. 125 mm / Matte / RAL 8017 is SKU LT-1371, and 150 mm / Zinc is LT-1405. For each section, five matte and twelve glossy colors are listed. When the bracket remains visible, the finish is matched with the gutter, but the exact size and proper fastening are more important than visual matching.

At what intervals are the BILKA fascia board brackets installed?

BILKA specifies a general spacing of 60-90 cm between gutter hooks and approximately 10 cm from the end to the final support. One hook is placed on each side of every internal or external corner. The exact spacing depends on the base and load, without exceeding the published maximum. If the fascia board is deformed or weakened, it is repaired first; more frequent brackets do not compensate for unreliable fastening to rotten or thin material.

How do the fascia board brackets set the slope of the BILKA gutter?

First, the end brackets are fixed at the calculated heights, then a string is stretched between them. The others are installed along the line with a slope of 3-5 mm per meter toward the funnel. With two downpipes, the high point can be in the middle, and the slope divided. Brackets are not placed on a visually horizontal board without measurement. After clipping the gutter, continuous drainage and the absence of local low points are checked.

What fasteners are needed for the BILKA fascia board bracket?

The fastener is chosen according to the material and thickness of the fascia board, the holes of the specific bracket, and the loads; the Shopify product does not specify a universal screw. The official guide requires the hooks to be fixed in the factory-provided holes with appropriate wood screws or nails for the respective type of installation. The number or size is not decided without inspecting the base. Fasteners must be corrosion-compatible and must not damage the protective coating of the bracket.
