VELUX EDW UK04 2000 Pro+ Standard Flashings W/ Installation Products 134x98cm
Typical applications and suitability
This flashing system is designed specifically for 134×98cm VELUX roof window openings on tile-covered pitched roofs. It is suitable for new build installations where the roof structure is being constructed, and for refurbishment work where an existing roof window is being replaced or a new opening is being created in an established tile roof. The standard tile flashing profile is engineered to work with typical UK domestic and commercial tile roof pitches and configurations. Always verify that your roof window opening matches the 134×98cm specification before ordering.

- Refurbishment and replacement projects on existing tile roofs
- Compatible with VELUX roof window ranges for 134×98cm openings

Installation and on-site tips
The flashing system comes complete with all necessary installation products, simplifying the fitting process. Position the flashing unit around the roof window opening before securing it to the roof structure and surrounding tiles. Ensure the flashing sits correctly under the upper tiles and over the lower tiles to create a proper water-shedding overlap. All seals and fixings supplied in the kit should be used as specified to maintain the weather-tight integrity of the installation. Work methodically around the opening to ensure even seating and proper alignment before final fixing.
- Use all supplied installation products as included in the kit
- Ensure correct overlap of tiles above and below the flashing
- Check alignment and seating before final fixing
- Follow the sequence of installation to maintain weather-tightness
Maintenance and long-term performance
Once installed, the flashing system requires minimal maintenance to perform reliably in UK roof conditions. Periodically inspect the flashing seal and surrounding tiles for any signs of debris accumulation, moss growth, or damage, particularly after severe weather. Keep gutters and roof surfaces clear of leaves and organic matter that could trap moisture against the flashing. The weather-tight seal is designed for long-term durability, but any damage to the flashing or surrounding tiles should be addressed promptly to prevent water ingress.
- Inspect flashing and surrounding area regularly for debris or damage
- Keep roof surfaces clear of leaves and organic matter
- Address any visible damage to flashing or seals promptly
- Ensure gutters and drainage remain clear
