VELUX Recessed Flashings 94x160cm EDN PK10 0000
Typical applications and suitability
These recessed flashings are designed specifically for VELUX roof window installations on slate-finished roofs. They work across both new build construction and refurbishment work, providing a weather-tight seal that integrates seamlessly with existing or new slate roofing. The 940×1600mm size accommodates standard VELUX window dimensions. The slate finish ensures the flashing blends visually with the roof surface rather than standing proud, which is particularly important on properties where roof aesthetics matter.
- New build roof window installations on slate roofs
- Refurbishment and retrofit projects adding roof windows
- Situations requiring visual consistency across the roofline
- Standard VELUX roof window system applications
Installation and on-site use
The recessed flashing sits flush with the roof surface, creating an integrated finish that maintains weather-tightness around the window perimeter. Installation should follow VELUX system specifications to ensure the flashing works correctly as part of the complete roof window assembly. The pack contains 10 units, making it suitable for multiple window installations or providing spares for larger projects. Proper positioning and sealing of the flashing is critical to prevent water ingress and maintain the integrity of the roof structure.

Weather protection and maintenance
The recessed design and weather-tight seal are engineered to perform reliably in typical UK roof conditions, including exposure to rain, wind, and temperature variations. The slate finish helps the flashing blend with the roof whilst maintaining its protective function. Periodically inspect the seal around the window perimeter to ensure it remains intact and free from debris. Any gaps or deterioration should be addressed promptly to prevent water penetration.
