EDW UK10 2000 Profiled tile flashing,single,pro+ inc BDX 2000,grey,134x160
Typical applications and suitability
This flashing is designed specifically for integration with compatible VELUX roof window systems in pitched tile roofs. It is suitable for domestic and light commercial applications where a roof window is being installed into existing or new tile roof construction. The 1340×1600mm size accommodates standard roof pitches and tile configurations typical in UK residential construction. Use this flashing in new build projects or when refurbishing existing roofs to add daylight and ventilation to upper floor rooms.
- Pitched tile roofs with standard profiles and common roof pitches
- New build and refurbishment applications
- Compatible VELUX roof window systems only
- Domestic and light commercial buildings
Installation and positioning
The flashing must be positioned around the VELUX roof window frame before roof tiles are laid or reinstated. The included BDX 2000 bracket secures the flashing to the window frame, ensuring it remains stable during installation. The profiled design is engineered to match standard tile profiles, allowing tiles to be laid over and around the flashing edges. Ensure the flashing is level and properly aligned with the window frame before securing the bracket. The weather-tight seal is created by the overlap between the flashing and roof tiles, so correct positioning is essential to prevent water ingress.
- Position flashing around window frame before tile installation
- Secure using the included BDX 2000 bracket to the window frame
- Ensure flashing is level and properly aligned
- Allow tiles to overlap flashing edges for weather-tight seal
- Check that profiled edges match surrounding tile profiles
Weather-tightness and maintenance
The flashing creates a weather-tight barrier by combining the profiled design with proper tile overlap. Once installed, the flashing requires minimal maintenance in typical UK roof conditions. Periodically inspect the flashing and surrounding tiles to ensure no debris has accumulated in valleys or at edges, which could trap water. Check that tiles remain properly seated over the flashing edges and that no gaps have opened due to roof movement or settlement. The durable profiled construction is designed to withstand exposure to rain, wind, and temperature variations common in the UK climate.
- Inspect flashing and tile overlap annually for debris or gaps
- Clear any moss, leaves, or dirt from valleys and edges
- Check tiles remain properly seated over flashing edges
- Monitor for signs of water ingress around window frame
- No specialist treatment required under normal UK weather conditions
Limitations and important notes
This flashing is designed exclusively for compatible VELUX roof window systems and must not be used with other window brands or types. The 1340×1600mm size is fixed and is intended for standard roof pitches and tile profiles; it is not adjustable and cannot be cut or modified on site. Correct installation is essential for weather-tightness; improper positioning or tile overlap will compromise performance. The flashing alone does not guarantee weather-tightness; it must be installed as part of a complete VELUX roof window system with all recommended components and seals in place.
- Compatible with VELUX roof window systems only
- Fixed dimensions; not adjustable or cuttable on site
- Requires proper tile overlap for weather-tight performance
- Must be installed as part of complete VELUX window system
- Unsuitable for flat roofs or non-tile roof coverings
