EDP CK01 2000 VELUX SINGLE PLAIN TILE FLASHING 55 X 70
What this product is for
This single plain tile flashing is specifically designed for VELUX roof window installations in properties with standard plain tile roofs. It provides the weathertight seal that prevents water from entering the building at the point where the window frame penetrates the roof. Without proper flashing, water can track into the roof structure, causing damp, rot, and structural damage. This flashing is an integral part of the VELUX installation system and must be used during initial window installation.
- Creates weathertight seal around VELUX roof window frames
- Prevents water ingress at roof penetration points
- Designed for plain tile roof systems
- Essential for roof integrity and compliance
Compatibility and sizing
This flashing is manufactured by VELUX and measures 55 x 70, which is the standard size for VELUX single plain tile flashing installations. Before purchasing, confirm that your roof window is a VELUX model and that your roof is covered with plain tiles rather than slate, concrete interlocking tiles, or other tile types. Check your window documentation or measure the window frame dimensions to ensure this flashing size is appropriate for your installation. Using the correct flashing size is essential for achieving a proper seal.
- VELUX roof window systems only
- Plain tile roofs only
- 55 x 70 dimensions
- Verify compatibility with your specific window model before ordering
Installation and preparation
The flashing sits beneath the roof tiles and around the window frame, forming a barrier against water penetration. Installation should be carried out during the initial fitting of the roof window, before the tiles are fully secured around the frame. The flashing must be positioned correctly to allow water to run down and away from the window frame. Ensure the roof structure is sound and level before installation. If you are not experienced in roof work, this is a task best left to a qualified roofer or surveyor, as incorrect installation can compromise the weathertightness of your roof.
- Install during initial roof window fitting
- Position beneath roof tiles around window frame
- Ensure proper water run-off away from frame
- Recommend professional installation for roof work
Pre-installation checks
Before fitting, inspect the flashing for any damage or defects. Confirm that your VELUX window frame is ready for installation and that the roof opening has been prepared to the correct dimensions. Check that all surrounding roof tiles and structure are in good condition. Gather any additional components required for your VELUX installation system, as this flashing is one part of a complete installation kit. Have the window manufacturer's installation instructions available during the work.
- Inspect flashing for damage before installation
