EDW SK10 2000 - Velux Profiled tile flashing,single,pro+ inc BDX 2000,grey,114x160
Typical applications and suitability
This flashing kit is designed specifically for single Velux roof window installations on pitched tiled roofs with standard tile profiles. It is suitable for new installations during roof construction or renovation work, and for retrofit installations where roof windows are being added to existing tiled roofs. The 114×160mm dimensions accommodate standard roof pitches typically found in UK residential construction. The profiled design is engineered to match common roof tile profiles, ensuring proper integration with the surrounding roof covering.
- New build roof window installations on pitched tiled roofs
- Roof renovation projects adding windows to existing tiled roofs
- Standard domestic roof pitches and tile profiles
- Single window installations only
Installation and positioning
The flashing must be positioned around the roof window frame before the surrounding roof tiles are laid or repositioned. The profiled edges should align with the tile profile to create a continuous, weathertight seal. The BDX 2000 component forms part of the complete flashing assembly and must be installed according to the Velux installation instructions specific to this product. Correct positioning is critical to ensure water runs away from the window frame and into the tile courses below. The flashing should be secured firmly to prevent movement during roof work and weather exposure.
- Install flashing around window frame before laying surrounding tiles
- Align profiled edges with existing tile profile for seamless integration
- Ensure BDX 2000 component is correctly positioned as part of the assembly
- Secure flashing firmly to prevent movement
- Refer to Velux installation documentation for this specific product
Limitations and maintenance
This flashing is designed for pitched tiled roofs only and is not suitable for flat roofs, metal roofing, or non-standard roof coverings. The Professional+ specification provides reliable weatherproofing when installed correctly, but improper installation or damage to the flashing will compromise performance. Once installed, the flashing requires no routine maintenance beyond general roof inspection. Check periodically that tiles remain properly seated around the flashing and that no debris has accumulated that might trap water. If the roof requires repair work in future, ensure the flashing is not disturbed or damaged during any remedial works.
- Pitched tiled roofs only; not suitable for flat roofs or alternative coverings
- Correct installation is essential for weatherproofing performance
- No routine maintenance required once installed
- Inspect periodically to ensure tiles remain properly seated
- Protect flashing during any future roof repair or maintenance work
On-site handling and storage
Store the flashing in a dry location on site prior to installation. Protect it from damage during transport and handling, as dents or bends to the profiled edges will compromise the seal with surrounding tiles. The grey finish is durable but should not be painted or treated with additional coatings unless specifically recommended by Velux. Handle the flashing carefully when positioning around the window frame to avoid scratching or distorting the profile. Ensure all components of the kit, including the BDX 2000 element, are present and undamaged before commencing installation work.
- Store in dry conditions prior to installation
