EDP SK01 2000 - VELUX Flashing incl BDX + BFX
Typical applications
This flashing is designed specifically for pitched roof installations where weatherproofing is required around roof penetrations. Common applications include sealing around chimney stacks, roof vents, and skylights. The 2000mm length suits standard roof configurations. Always verify that the product dimensions and grade match your specific project requirements before ordering, as roof penetration sizes and roof pitch angles vary considerably.
- Chimney flashings on pitched roofs
- Roof vent and soil pipe weatherproofing
- Skylight and roof window sealing
- Standard roof penetration sizes requiring 2000mm length specification
Installation and on-site use
Installation should be carried out on a dry day with safe access to the roof. The complete kit includes BDX and BFX components, which work together to provide the weatherproof seal. Position the flashing around the roof penetration, ensuring it sits flush and level. The high-grade plastic construction allows for careful handling during fitting. Secure the flashing according to the roof covering type, whether slate, tile, or other pitched roof material. Ensure all edges are properly sealed to prevent water ingress. Professional contractors and experienced DIY users should follow standard roofing best practice for this type of work.
- Install only in dry weather conditions
- Ensure safe roof access and appropriate fall protection
- Position flashing level and flush around the penetration
- Secure using methods appropriate to your roof covering type
- Seal all edges thoroughly to prevent water penetration
Material properties and durability
The flashing is manufactured from high-grade plastic, which provides reliable performance in exposed weather conditions typical of pitched roofs. This material resists UV degradation and temperature fluctuations. The plastic construction is durable and long-lasting when installed correctly. However, ensure the flashing is not subjected to physical damage during installation or maintenance work on the roof.
- High-grade plastic resists weather exposure and UV damage
- Suitable for temperature variations on pitched roofs
- Avoid physical damage during installation and future roof maintenance
- Inspect periodically to ensure seal integrity remains intact
Important limitations and considerations
This product is designed for pitched roof applications only and is not suitable for flat roofs. Confirm that the 2000mm length and grade 2000 specification match your project before purchase, as roof penetration dimensions vary. Installation requires safe access to pitched roofs and should only be undertaken by those competent to work at height. The flashing must be installed correctly to function effectively; poor installation may result in water leaks. This is not a DIY product for inexperienced users unfamiliar with roof work.
- Pitched roofs only; not suitable for flat roof applications
