Fixing and buying guide
VELUX Standard Flashings 66x118cm EDW FK06 0000
Is this the right flashing for your roof window?
This flashing is designed exclusively for VELUX roof windows measuring 66x118cm. Before purchasing, confirm your window size matches this specification. The EDW FK06 is engineered for pitched roof applications and works with both standard roof tiles and slate coverings. If your roof window is a different size or you have a flat roof installation, you will need a different flashing kit.
- Check your VELUX window dimensions are exactly 66x118cm
- Confirm your roof is pitched, not flat
- Verify your roof covering is tiles or slates
What is included and how to prepare
The EDW FK06 is a complete flashing kit containing all components needed for a weathertight installation around your roof window. Before fitting, inspect the flashing for any damage during delivery. Ensure the roof opening is clean and free from debris, and that the surrounding roof structure is sound and level. Have the VELUX window frame ready for installation, as the flashing integrates directly with it.
- Unpack and inspect all flashing components for damage
- Clear the roof opening of dust and debris
- Check the roof structure is sound and level around the opening
- Have the VELUX window frame to hand before starting
Installation and compatibility
The EDW FK06 flashing is engineered to integrate seamlessly with VELUX 66x118cm roof windows and provides straightforward installation on pitched roofs. The flashing accommodates standard roof tile and slate applications, allowing it to sit flush with your existing roof covering. Follow VELUX installation instructions carefully to ensure the flashing creates a complete weathertight seal. Improper installation may compromise weather protection and window performance.
- Follow VELUX installation instructions precisely
- Ensure the flashing sits flush with surrounding tiles or slates
- Seal all joints and edges according to manufacturer guidance
- Check for gaps or misalignment before completing installation
Durability and maintenance
The EDW FK06 is built with durable construction to provide long-term weather protection. Once installed, periodically inspect the flashing and surrounding roof area to ensure the seal remains intact. Check after severe weather or seasonal changes. Keep gutters and roof surfaces clear of debris to prevent water pooling around the flashing, which could compromise its weathertight performance.
- Inspect the flashing twice yearly or after severe weather
- Keep the roof area around the window clear of leaves and debris
- Check for any signs of water ingress or damage
- Maintain the weathertight seal by addressing any gaps promptly
