How and where to use guide
EDL SK10 2000 Slate flashing,single,pro+ inc BDX 2000,grey,114x160
Typical applications
Use this flashing at roof-to-wall junctions on slate-tiled roofs, including abutments against external walls, chimneys, and vertical roof penetrations. The grey finish integrates well with slate roof systems. Each unit is a single flashing designed to cover one junction point; multiple units may be required for larger or complex roof interfaces.
- Roof-to-wall abutments on slate roofs
- Chimney flashings on slate installations
- Vertical roof penetrations and junctions
- Professional roofing applications requiring weatherproofing at critical interfaces
Installation and usage
Install the flashing at the junction before or during slate roof laying, ensuring the BDX 2000 system is properly engaged with the roof structure. Position the flashing to direct water away from the wall or penetration and into the slate roof system. The integrated design simplifies installation by combining the flashing and fixing system in one unit. Ensure the flashing sits securely and is fully supported by the roof substrate. Follow the BDX 2000 system instructions for correct fixing and sealing to maintain structural integrity and weatherproofing performance.
- Position flashing at roof-to-wall junction before slate installation where possible
- Ensure the BDX 2000 system is correctly engaged and secured
- Direct water flow away from the wall and into the slate roof
- Check that the flashing is fully supported and level
- Seal according to BDX 2000 system requirements
Limitations and maintenance
This is a single flashing unit; multiple units are needed for extended junctions or complex roof layouts. The product is designed for slate roof systems and should not be used with other roof coverings without verification of compatibility. Inspect flashings annually, particularly after severe weather, to ensure the BDX 2000 system remains secure and seals are intact. Clear any debris from the junction and check for signs of water ingress or movement.
- Single unit covers one junction point only
- Designed specifically for slate roof applications
- Inspect annually for security and seal integrity
- Clear debris from roof-to-wall junctions regularly
On-site tips
Measure and plan flashing positions before slate installation begins to avoid costly rework. Store the flashing flat and protected from damage on site. The 114 x 160 mm dimensions suit standard roof junctions; verify measurements at your specific location before ordering. Ensure the roof substrate is clean and level before installation. If working at height, follow all relevant health and safety procedures and use appropriate fall protection.
- Plan flashing positions before slate laying commences
- Store flat and protected from weather and damage
- Verify dimensions suit your specific roof junction
- Ensure substrate is clean and level
- Observe all height safety requirements during installation
