VELUX EDW M08 0000 FLASHING KIT

Typical applications and installation locations

This flashing kit is specifically designed for VELUX EDW M08 0000 skylight installations on pitched roofs in both domestic properties and commercial buildings. The flashing creates a weathertight seal around the rooflight perimeter where it meets the roof surface. Installation is suitable for standard UK roof constructions and typical roof pitches. The kit should be installed during the initial rooflight fitting to ensure the watertight seal is established before the roof covering is completed.

Installation and usage steps

Installation should be carried out in accordance with VELUX guidance for the EDW M08 0000 skylight. The flashing kit components must be positioned around the rooflight perimeter before the roof covering is installed. All supplied screws and washers must be used to secure the flashing strips firmly to the roof structure, ensuring no gaps remain that could allow water penetration. The plastic flashing should sit flush against the roof surface and rooflight frame.

Maintenance and durability

The plastic construction to British Standard Grade 1.4.2 provides durable, long-term performance in UK weather conditions. Periodically inspect the flashing seal, particularly after severe weather, to ensure no damage or separation has occurred. Keep the area around the flashing clear of debris and moss growth that could compromise the weathertight seal. The plastic material requires no special treatment but should be checked for any cracks or movement that might affect water shedding.

Important limitations and on-site tips

This flashing kit is designed exclusively for VELUX EDW M08 0000 skylights and must not be used with other rooflight models or sizes. The kit includes all necessary fixings, so no additional screws or washers should be required. Installation should be completed by competent persons familiar with roof work and weatherproofing principles. Ensure the roof structure is sound and properly prepared before flashing installation. The watertight seal depends on correct installation of all components, so follow VELUX instructions carefully.
