VELUX Recessed Flashings W/ Installation Productions 114x118cm EDJ SK06 2000
Typical applications and suitability
This recessed flashing kit is intended for installing VELUX SK06 roof windows into pitched tiled roofs. The 90mm tile depth specification suits standard clay or concrete roof tiles commonly used in UK residential and commercial construction. It is equally suitable for new build installations where the roof structure is being formed, and for refurbishment projects where an existing roof opening requires upgrading or replacement. The recessed profile ensures the window integrates neatly with the tile plane, maintaining visual consistency across the roof.
- New build pitched roof installations with tiled coverings
- Refurbishment and replacement of existing roof windows
- Roofs with standard 90mm tile depth
- Projects requiring weather-tight, professional roof integration
Installation and on-site preparation
Before installation, verify that your roof opening matches the 1140×1180mm dimensions and that the roof pitch and tile type are compatible with 90mm tile depth. The BDX 2000F installation frame should be positioned within the roof opening and secured according to VELUX installation instructions. The tile flashing must be carefully fitted around the frame to create a continuous weather seal, with tiles cut and fitted above and below the flashing as required. Ensure all fixings are secure and that the flashing sits flush with the surrounding roof surface to prevent water ingress. On-site, protect the installation from weather during the build phase and verify the seal is complete before the roof is considered weathertight.
- Check roof opening dimensions match 1140×1180mm specification
- Confirm tile depth is 90mm before ordering
- Install BDX 2000F frame level and square within the opening
- Fit tile flashing to create continuous weather seal
- Secure all fixings and verify flush fit with roof surface
- Protect installation from weather during construction
Maintenance and long-term performance
Once installed, the recessed flashing requires minimal maintenance if the initial installation is sound. Periodically inspect the flashing seal and surrounding tiles for any signs of damage, displacement, or debris accumulation, particularly after severe weather. Clear any moss, leaves, or dirt from the flashing edges to maintain water drainage. In refurbishment projects, check that the flashing has not shifted or settled over time. The weather-tight seal is dependent on correct initial installation and ongoing integrity of the tile coverage around the window.
- Inspect flashing seal and surrounding tiles regularly
- Clear debris and moss from flashing edges
- Check for signs of water ingress or damage after severe weather
- Verify flashing remains flush and secure over time
Limitations and important considerations
This kit is specifically sized and designed for SK06 compatible VELUX roof windows only. It is not suitable for other window sizes or manufacturers. The 90mm tile depth specification means it is not appropriate for roofs with deeper or shallower tiles. Installation must follow VELUX guidance to ensure the weather-tight seal is achieved. The flashing assembly forms part of a complete roof window solution and should not be used as a standalone product. Professional installation is recommended, particularly for new build projects where roof integrity is critical.
- Compatible with SK06 VELUX windows only
