Installation and fitting
The standard design of these flashings ensures straightforward installation. Installation products are included in the kit to support the fitting process. Position the flashing around the rooflight perimeter to create a secure seal that prevents water ingress. The flashing must be properly bedded and secured according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the weather-tight integrity of the installation.
- Ensure the rooflight opening is correctly sized at 78cm × 118cm before fitting
- Use all included installation products as part of the fitting process
- Bed the flashing securely to create a weather-tight seal
- Follow manufacturer's installation guidance for your specific roof type
Maintenance and durability
Once installed, the flashing requires periodic inspection to maintain its weather-tight seal. Check the flashing annually, particularly after severe weather, to ensure it remains secure and free from damage. Keep the flashing clear of debris and ensure water can drain freely around the rooflight perimeter. Any gaps or movement should be addressed promptly to prevent water penetration.
- Inspect flashing annually for signs of movement or damage
- Clear debris from around the rooflight and flashing
- Ensure water drainage is not obstructed
- Address any gaps or deterioration immediately to prevent water ingress
On-site tips and limitations
These flashings are designed specifically for the 78cm × 118cm VELUX EDW MK06 2000 Pro+ rooflight model. Do not attempt to use them with other rooflight sizes or models, as this will compromise the weather-tight seal. Ensure you have adequate roof access and working space before beginning installation. The flashing must be installed on a structurally sound roof with proper ventilation and insulation already in place.
- Confirm rooflight model and dimensions match before ordering
- Install only on structurally sound roofs
- Ensure existing insulation and ventilation are properly installed first
- Do not use with rooflight models or sizes other than 78cm × 118cm VELUX EDW MK06 2000 Pro+
