What this product is and who it is for
Slate flashing is essential metalwork that bridges the junction between a slate roof and vertical surfaces such as walls, chimneys, or dormer cheeks. The EDL SK10 2000 is a single flashing unit measuring 114 x 160 mm, sized for standard slate roof applications. The integrated BDX 2000 system provides the fixing mechanism, eliminating the need for separate fasteners at this critical junction. This professional-grade product is intended for experienced installers and builders working on slate roof systems where reliable weatherproofing is essential.
Compatibility and sizing
This flashing is designed specifically for slate roof installations and works with the BDX 2000 integrated fixing system. The 114 x 160 mm dimensions are standard for single slate flashing applications. Before ordering, measure your roof-to-wall junction and confirm that this size matches your slate pitch and wall height requirements. The grey colour is chosen to complement slate tiles and blend with typical roof finishes. Check that your roof structure and slate layout accommodate a single flashing unit at your intended location; multiple units may be required for longer junctions.
Pre-installation checks
Inspect the flashing on delivery for any damage or manufacturing defects. Ensure your roof structure is sound and properly prepared before installation. The junction surface must be clean and free from debris, moss, or old sealant. Confirm that the BDX 2000 system components are intact and undamaged. Check that you have the correct tools for slate work, including a slate ripper or cutter if you need to trim slates around the flashing. Verify that your roof pitch and wall construction are suitable for this flashing type and that you have adequate access and safety equipment for working at height.
Installation and fixing
The integrated BDX 2000 system simplifies installation by combining the flashing and fixing mechanism in one unit. Position the flashing at the roof-to-wall junction, ensuring it sits flush and level. The BDX 2000 system provides secure fixing without additional fasteners. Follow the manufacturer's installation sequence carefully, working from the lowest point upwards if installing multiple units. Ensure proper overlap and weatherproofing at all joints. This is a professional-grade product; if you are inexperienced with slate roof work, consider engaging a qualified roofer to ensure correct installation and maintain roof warranty compliance.
