It is suitable for both new build projects where the roof structure is being constructed and refurbishment work where roof windows are being retrofitted into existing tile roof installations. The 114×118cm size accommodates the corresponding VELUX window dimensions. Ensure the roof pitch and tile profile are compatible with standard tile flashing systems before ordering.

Installation and on-site handling
The flashing kit includes all installation products required for a professional fit. Installation should be carried out during roof construction or before final tiling in refurbishment work. The flashing must be positioned to create a weather-tight seal between the window frame and the tile surface, with proper overlap and bedding to shed water effectively down the roof slope. Follow VELUX installation guidance carefully to ensure correct positioning and sealing. Handle the flashing components carefully on site to avoid damage that could compromise the weather-tight seal.

Weather protection and maintenance
The flashing system is engineered to provide reliable weather protection in UK roof conditions, preventing water ingress around the window perimeter. Once installed, the flashing requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the seal around the window frame and flashing junction, particularly after severe weather, to ensure no debris has accumulated or damage occurred. Keep gutters and roof surfaces clear of moss and debris to maintain effective water drainage. Any gaps or deterioration in the seal should be addressed promptly to prevent water penetration.
