This recessed flashing is designed for installation into existing roof recesses on pitched roofs. It works effectively on both domestic and commercial properties where a weather-tight seal is critical. The product is suitable for roof pitches up to a maximum of 30 degrees. Before ordering, confirm that your roof opening matches the 114×118cm flashing dimensions and that your roof pitch falls within the specified limit. Check your roof design and existing recess dimensions against the product specifications to ensure compatibility.

Installation and positioning
The flashing must be recessed into the existing roof opening to function correctly. Position the flashing so it sits flush within the recess, ensuring the Grade A timber frame and PVC finish create a continuous weather-tight barrier. The durable finish is designed to withstand exposure and high-traffic areas. During installation, ensure the flashing is properly seated to prevent gaps that could allow wind-driven rain or snow penetration. Consult the detailed product specifications before beginning work to confirm all compatibility requirements for your specific roof construction.

- Ensure no gaps remain around the flashing perimeter
- Check specifications for your roof type compatibility
- Grade A timber and PVC finish require proper seating for weather protection
Weather protection and maintenance
The recessed flashing provides a weather-tight seal against wind-driven rain and snow, making it essential for protecting the interior from water ingress. The durable PVC finish resists weathering and is suitable for high-traffic roof areas. After installation, inspect the flashing periodically to ensure the seal remains intact and no debris has accumulated around the edges. Keep the recess area clear of leaves, moss, and other debris that could compromise the weather-tight performance. The Grade A timber and PVC construction require minimal maintenance but benefit from occasional cleaning to maintain long-term effectiveness.
