How and where to use guide
VELUX EDW CK01 2000 PROFILED ROOF TILES + BDX
Suitable applications and roof types
This flashing kit is specifically designed for profiled clay and concrete tile roofs. It works with standard tile profiles commonly found on UK residential and commercial pitched roofs. The system is compatible with VELUX roof window installation and should only be used where the roof covering consists of profiled tiles rather than slate, flat tiles, or other roof materials. Confirm your tile profile matches the EDW CK01 2000 specification before ordering.
- Profiled clay tile roofs
- Profiled concrete tile roofs
- Pitched roof installations with VELUX windows
- Roofs requiring weathertight window integration
Installation and alignment
Careful alignment with existing tile profiles is critical to maintain roof integrity and weather resistance. The EDW flashing frame must be positioned to work in harmony with the tile profile, ensuring water flows correctly away from the window opening. The BDX connector integrates the flashing system with the VELUX window unit. Installation should follow VELUX guidance precisely, as improper alignment can compromise the weathertight seal and allow water penetration. Ensure the roof structure is adequately prepared and the opening is correctly sized before fitting the flashing kit.
- Align flashing frame with tile profile direction
- Secure BDX connector to window unit as specified
- Check water drainage path before final fixing
- Verify weathertight seal around entire opening perimeter
Maintenance and durability
Once installed, the flashing system requires minimal maintenance but should be inspected periodically as part of routine roof maintenance. Check that tiles remain properly seated around the flashing frame and that no debris has accumulated in the drainage channels. The flashing finish is specified to VELUX standards for durability and corrosion resistance. Any damage to the flashing or sealant should be addressed promptly to prevent water ingress.
- Inspect flashing annually or after severe weather
- Clear any moss, leaves, or debris from drainage areas
- Check sealant integrity around window perimeter
- Ensure tiles remain properly seated against flashing frame
On-site tips and limitations
This kit is a complete system and should not be modified or substituted with non-VELUX components, as this will void weatherproofing guarantees. The flashing is designed specifically for profiled tiles; it cannot be adapted for use with flat tiles, slate, or other roof coverings. Ensure adequate working space and weather protection during installation. The system relies on correct integration with the VELUX window unit, so follow all supplied documentation and do not attempt installation without the compatible window frame.
- Use only with compatible VELUX roof window units
- Do not modify flashing components
- Install in dry conditions for proper sealant curing
- Keep all VELUX documentation on site during installation
