How and where to use guide
EDW FK08 2000 Profiled tile flashing,single,pro+ inc BDX 2000,grey,66x140
Suitable applications and installation location
The EDW FK08 2000 is designed specifically for installation around compatible VELUX roof windows in pitched tiled roofs. It is suitable for use in both new build projects and refurbishment work. The flashing dimensions of 660 × 1400 mm accommodate standard roof window openings. Installation should be carried out on roofs with profiled or interlocking tiles where the flashing profile can match the tile profile for visual consistency and effective weather protection.
- Use only with compatible VELUX roof window systems
- Suitable for pitched tiled roofs with standard profiled tiles
- Appropriate for new build and refurbishment applications
- Install on roofs where the flashing profile aligns with existing tile profiles
Installation and assembly
The EDW FK08 2000 arrives as a complete unit with the BDX 2000 bracket already integrated, eliminating the need for separate bracket assembly on site. Position the flashing around the roof window opening, ensuring the profiled edges align with the roof tile profile above and below the window. The bracket provides the primary fixing point to the roof structure. Ensure the flashing sits flush against the roof surface to maintain the weather-tight seal. All edges must be properly sealed to prevent water ingress, particularly at the junction between the flashing and the roof tiles.
- Check compatibility with your VELUX roof window model before installation
- Position flashing so the profiled design aligns with surrounding roof tiles
- Use the integrated BDX 2000 bracket to secure the flashing to the roof structure
- Ensure all edges are sealed to create a weather-tight installation
- Verify the flashing sits flush and level across the entire opening
Weather protection and durability
The profiled aluminium design is engineered to shed water effectively and maintain weather-tightness in UK roof conditions. The grey finish is durable and resistant to corrosion, supporting long-term performance without degradation. The flashing profile is designed to work in harmony with the roof tile profile, creating natural water run-off paths that direct moisture away from the window opening and down the roof surface.
- The profiled design directs water away from the window opening
- Aluminium construction resists corrosion in UK weather conditions
- Grey finish maintains appearance and durability over time
- Weather-tight seal prevents water penetration around the window frame
On-site handling and maintenance
Handle the flashing carefully during transport and installation to avoid denting or bending the profiled edges, which could compromise the weather-tight seal. Once installed, the flashing requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check that the seal around the window opening remains intact and that no debris has accumulated in the profile valleys. In areas with heavy leaf fall or moss growth, clear the flashing profile to maintain effective water drainage. Avoid walking directly on the flashing; always step on the roof tiles instead.
- Handle carefully to avoid denting the profiled edges
- Do not walk on the flashing – step on roof tiles only
- Clear debris from the profile valleys to maintain water drainage
- Inspect the seal periodically, especially after severe weather
- Check for moss or algae growth and remove if necessary
