Installation overview
Recessed flashing installation involves positioning the vinyl flashing into the prepared recess or joint to create a weather-tight seal. The vinyl material is flexible enough to conform to the recessed profile whilst remaining rigid enough to maintain its shape and seal integrity. Follow VELUX installation guidance to ensure the flashing sits correctly and all edges are properly sealed to prevent water ingress.
- Position the flashing carefully into the recessed area
- Ensure all edges are fully seated and sealed
- Use appropriate fixings or sealant as per VELUX instructions
- Check that the flashing creates a continuous weather-tight barrier
