Suitable applications and locations
This recessed flashing is designed for use in timber-framed buildings, conservatories, extensions and similar structures where timber windows and doors require weatherproofing. It is suitable for both domestic and commercial applications. The flashing creates a watertight seal at the perimeter of window and door openings, preventing water penetration into the timber frame and surrounding structure. It is compatible with F18, F24 and F36 timber grades, so check your timber specification before installation.

Maintenance and durability
The weather-resistant material is engineered for long-term durability and requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the flashing to ensure the seal remains intact and there are no signs of water ingress or deterioration around the window or door perimeter. Clear any debris or blockages that could prevent water drainage. The material resists weathering and degradation, providing reliable performance in exposed locations. If damage occurs, address it promptly to prevent water penetration into the timber frame.
