Installation and on-site preparation
The flashing kit includes all installation products needed for professional fitting. Before installation, ensure the roof opening is correctly sized and prepared to the VELUX specifications for the 66×118cm window. The flashing must be positioned to create a weather-tight seal between the window frame and the tiled roof surface. Follow the step-by-step installation instructions supplied with the kit, ensuring all components are correctly aligned and secured. Proper sealing at all junctions is critical to prevent water penetration.
- Verify roof opening dimensions match 660×1180mm requirements
- Use all supplied installation products as specified
- Ensure flashing is level and correctly positioned before securing
- Seal all junctions thoroughly to maintain weather protection
- Work in dry conditions where possible for best results
Maintenance and long-term performance
Once installed, the flashing requires minimal maintenance to ensure continued weather protection. Periodically inspect the seal around the window perimeter, particularly after severe weather or high winds. Check that all installation products remain intact and that no gaps or cracks have developed. Keep the roof area around the flashing clear of debris and moss growth, as these can trap moisture and compromise the seal. Any damage to the flashing or sealant should be addressed promptly to prevent water ingress.
- Inspect the flashing seal annually and after severe weather
- Clear debris and moss from around the window perimeter
- Check that sealant remains intact with no visible cracks
- Address any damage or deterioration promptly
