VELUX Recessed Flashings W/ Installation Productions 55x118cm EDJ CK06 2000
Suitable applications and roof types
This recessed flashing is designed specifically for pitched tile roofs where you are installing a VELUX CK06 roof window. The 550×1180mm dimensions and 90mm flashing depth are engineered to work with the CK06 window range. It is suitable for both new build installations where roof structure is being constructed, and refurbishment projects where you are retrofitting a window into an existing pitched tile roof. The recessed design ensures the flashing integrates neatly with your tile finish rather than sitting proud of the roof surface.
- New build pitched tile roof installations
- Refurbishment and retrofit projects on existing tile roofs
- VELUX CK06 window installations only
- Pitched tile roofs with appropriate roof pitch for tiling
Installation and on-site fitting
Installation materials are included with this flashing to support professional on-site fitting. The flashing must be positioned to create a weather-tight seal between the CK06 window frame and your roof structure. The recessed design means the flashing sits within the roof plane rather than protruding above it. Correct positioning and sealing are essential to prevent water ingress around the window perimeter. Installation should be carried out in accordance with VELUX guidance to ensure the weather-tight seal is achieved and maintained. The flashing depth of 90mm is designed to accommodate standard roof construction depths.
- Use all included installation materials as supplied
- Position flashing to create weather-tight seal around window frame
- Ensure recessed design sits flush with tile finish
- Follow VELUX installation guidance for correct positioning
- Check seal integrity before completing roof work
Weather protection and maintenance
The primary function of this recessed flashing is to manage water run-off and provide a weather-tight seal between the window frame and roof structure. This is particularly important in UK weather conditions where pitched tile roofs are exposed to frequent rain and wind-driven moisture. The recessed design helps direct water away from the window frame and back onto the tile surface. After installation, periodically check that the seal remains intact and that no water is penetrating around the window perimeter. Clear any debris from the roof area around the flashing to ensure water can run off freely.
- Flashing manages water run-off from pitched roof surface
- Weather-tight seal prevents water ingress around window frame
- Check seal integrity periodically, particularly after severe weather
- Keep roof area around flashing clear of debris and moss
- Ensure water can run freely off tile surface
Limitations and compatibility
This flashing is designed exclusively for VELUX CK06 roof windows and pitched tile roofs. It is not suitable for other window sizes or roof types such as slate, metal, or flat roofs. The 550×1180mm dimensions and 90mm depth are specific to the CK06 range. Do not attempt to use this flashing with other VELUX window sizes or non-tile roof constructions, as this will compromise the weather-tight seal and may result in water ingress and structural damage.
- Compatible with VELUX CK06 windows only
- Designed for pitched tile roofs only
- Not suitable for slate, metal, or flat roof applications
- Do not use with other VELUX window sizes
- Incorrect installation or use will compromise weather protection
