How and where to use guide
VELUX EDL PK06 2000 94X118 SLATE FLUSHING INC BDX GREY
Typical applications and suitability
This compact rooflight is ideal for introducing natural light into smaller rooms, hallways, bathrooms, and office spaces in both domestic properties and commercial buildings. The 94 x 118mm size makes it particularly suitable for pitched roof installations where space is limited or where you need discreet natural light provision without major structural changes. It works well in loft conversions, attic rooms, and as supplementary lighting in existing properties. The slate grey finish complements traditional and contemporary roof coverings.
- Domestic applications: loft conversions, attic rooms, hallways, bathrooms
- Commercial use: offices, retail spaces, and commercial buildings requiring natural light
- Retrofit installations where minimal roof disruption is needed
- Pitched roofs with limited space for larger skylights
Installation guidance
The flush mounting system allows installation either directly onto roof rafters or from the ceiling, depending on your roof structure and access. Ensure the installation area is structurally sound and that the rooflight is positioned to avoid obstruction from roof furniture or future maintenance access. The compact size means careful positioning is important to maximise light penetration. Installation should follow building regulations and ensure proper weatherproofing around the mounting system to prevent water ingress.
- Install on sound, structurally adequate rafters or ceiling joists
- Position to avoid obstruction and maximise natural light benefit
- Ensure proper weatherproofing and sealing around the flush mounting
- Comply with Building Regulations for roof penetrations and safety
Maintenance and durability
The slate grey finish with flat construction provides good weather resistance and durability in UK climate conditions. Regular inspection of the mounting seals and weatherproofing is essential, particularly after severe weather. Keep the rooflight clean to maintain light transmission, and check that the flush mounting remains secure and watertight. The high-quality construction ensures long-term performance when properly maintained.
- Inspect mounting seals and weatherproofing regularly
- Clean the rooflight periodically to maintain light transmission
- Check security of flush mounting after severe weather
- Address any signs of water ingress immediately
On-site considerations
The compact 94 x 118mm size is easy to handle and transport on site. Plan your installation carefully to ensure the rooflight position does not conflict with roof structure, insulation, or future maintenance access. Consider the direction of roof slope and sun orientation to maximise the benefit of natural light. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room below if required, as this rooflight provides light but not ventilation.
- Plan positioning to avoid structural elements and maintenance access routes
- Consider sun orientation and roof slope direction
- Ensure adequate room ventilation is provided separately if needed
- Protect the rooflight during construction to prevent damage
