VELUX Recessed Flashings W/ Installation Productions 94x160cm EDN PK10 2000
Typical applications and suitability
These recessed flashings are designed specifically for VELUX rooflights in timber-framed building construction. They are suitable for pitched roof installations where the rooflight opening measures approximately 94x160cm. The flashings work by creating a recessed detail that allows the rooflight frame to sit securely within the roof structure whilst maintaining a weather-tight seal. This pack of 10 units is ideal for new-build projects, roof renovations involving multiple rooflights, or replacement programmes where several units require re-flashing.

- Pitched roof applications with 94x160cm rooflight openings
- New-build and renovation projects requiring multiple units
- Situations where wind-driven rain and snow protection is critical
Installation and on-site guidance
Installation instructions are included with this pack and must be followed carefully to ensure a weather-tight seal. The flashings must be fitted during rooflight installation, integrating with the roof structure and surrounding tiles or slates. Proper positioning and securing of the flashing is essential to prevent water ingress at the rooflight perimeter. The engineering-grade plastic construction is durable but must be handled carefully on site to avoid damage before installation. Ensure the roof opening dimensions match the 94x160cm specification before ordering, and verify that your VELUX rooflight model is compatible with this flashing size.
- Follow the included installation instructions precisely
- Fit flashings during rooflight installation, not as an afterthought
- Ensure correct positioning to create a weather-tight seal
- Handle carefully on site to prevent damage to the plastic finish
- Verify rooflight model compatibility and opening dimensions before installation
Weather protection and performance
These flashings provide protection against two critical weather threats: wind-driven rain and snow ingress. The recessed design allows water to drain away from the rooflight frame whilst the powder-coated plastic finish resists weathering and UV degradation. The weather-tight seal is only effective if the flashings are installed correctly and integrated properly with the surrounding roof covering. Regular inspection after severe weather is recommended to ensure the seal remains intact and no water penetration has occurred around the rooflight perimeter.
- Protects against wind-driven rain penetration
- Prevents snow accumulation and ingress at the rooflight junction
- Powder-coated finish provides durability in exposed conditions
- Inspect regularly, particularly after severe weather events
