VELUX EDW UK08 2000 Pro+ Standard Flashings W/ Installation Products 134x140cm
Typical applications and suitability
This flashing system is designed specifically for VELUX roof windows measuring 134×140cm installed on pitched tile roofs. It is suitable for both new build properties where roof windows are being installed during construction and refurbishment projects where existing roof windows are being replaced or upgraded. The standard tile flashing profile works with typical clay and concrete tile roof coverings commonly found across UK properties. The system maintains visual consistency with the roof line, making it appropriate for properties where aesthetic appearance is important alongside weatherproofing performance.
- New build roof window installations on tile roofs
- Refurbishment and replacement projects
- Compatible with VELUX roof window ranges
- Maintains consistent roof line appearance
Installation and on-site use
The flashing system comes complete with all necessary installation products, simplifying the on-site process. Installation should be carried out in accordance with VELUX guidance to ensure the weather-tight seal is properly achieved. The flashing must be correctly positioned and secured to create a continuous barrier between the roof window frame and the tile surface, preventing water ingress. Careful attention should be paid to ensuring all components are properly integrated with both the roof window frame and the surrounding tile roof structure. Installation should be undertaken before roof tiling is completed in new build work, or with careful removal and replacement of existing tiles in refurbishment applications.
- Install before final roof tiling in new build projects
- Follow VELUX installation guidance for weather-tight performance
- Ensure all flashing components are properly secured
- Check integration with roof window frame and tile surface
Maintenance and long-term performance
Once installed, the flashing system requires minimal maintenance to maintain its weather-tight performance. Periodic inspection of the roof area around the window is recommended to ensure the flashing remains secure and free from debris. Any accumulated moss, lichen, or leaves should be carefully cleared to prevent water pooling. The flashing should be checked after severe weather or high winds to confirm all components remain properly seated. Regular gutter and roof maintenance around the window area will help preserve the integrity of the flashing system and prevent water-related issues.
- Inspect flashing periodically for security and debris
- Clear moss, lichen and leaves to prevent water pooling
- Check after severe weather or high winds
- Maintain gutters and roof areas around the window
Limitations and important considerations
This flashing system is sized specifically for 134×140cm VELUX roof windows and is not suitable for other window dimensions. It is designed for pitched tile roofs and is not appropriate for flat roofs, slate roofs, or other roof coverings. The system must be used with compatible VELUX roof window ranges to ensure proper integration and weather-tight performance. Installation should only be undertaken by competent individuals familiar with roof work and flashing installation, as improper installation can compromise the weather-tight seal and lead to water ingress and structural damage.
