Installation and fitting
The flashing should be installed before the rooflight unit is positioned. Begin by ensuring the roof opening is correctly sized and the timber frame and rafters are square and level. Position the flashing around the opening, securing it to the timber frame using the installation products provided. The flashing must be fully seated and secured to create a watertight seal. Once the flashing is in place and secured, the VELUX EDL MK06 2000 Pro+ rooflight can be installed into the flashing assembly. All fixings should be checked for tightness before proceeding with roof covering installation. Ensure that roof tiles, slates, or other covering materials are properly fitted over the flashing edges to maintain weathertightness.
