VELUX EDWS FFKF06 2000 3in1 Tile Flashing - 188cm x 118cm
Where to use this flashing
This tile flashing is designed specifically for pitched tile roofs where you are installing a VELUX roof window or Sun Tunnel system. It bridges the gap between the window frame and the surrounding roof tiles, accommodating tile profiles up to 120mm in height. The flashing is suitable for both new build work, where the roof structure is being constructed, and refurbishment projects, where you are retrofitting a window into an existing pitched tile roof.
- Pitched tile roofs with tile profiles up to 120mm
- New build roof installations
- Refurbishment and retrofit projects
- Compatible with standard VELUX roof window ranges and Sun Tunnel systems
Installation and weather-tightness
The 3in1 design simplifies the installation process by combining multiple components into a single flashing unit. The integrated sealing components work together to create a weather-tight seal around the window frame, preventing water from penetrating the junction between the window and the roof tiles. Proper installation is critical to ensure this seal remains effective and protects the interior of the building from water damage. The aluminium material provides durability and corrosion resistance in exposed roof conditions.
- 3in1 design reduces the number of separate components to install
- Integrated sealing components create a continuous weather-tight barrier
- Aluminium construction resists corrosion in UK weather conditions
- Maintains visual consistency with the roof line for a professional appearance
Compatibility and sizing
This flashing is engineered to work with standard VELUX roof window ranges and VELUX Sun Tunnel systems. The 188cm × 118cm dimensions are designed to accommodate typical window sizes within the VELUX product range. Before ordering, confirm that your specific VELUX window model is compatible with this flashing and that your tile profile height does not exceed 120mm. Using the correct flashing size and type for your window model is essential for achieving a proper weather-tight installation.
- Check compatibility with your specific VELUX roof window or Sun Tunnel model
- Verify that your roof tile profile height does not exceed 120mm
- Dimensions of 188cm × 118cm suit standard VELUX window sizes
- Incorrect sizing or incompatible windows will compromise the weather-tight seal
On-site handling and maintenance
Handle the flashing carefully during transport and storage to avoid denting or damaging the aluminium frame and sealing components. Once installed, the flashing requires minimal maintenance, as the aluminium and integrated seals are designed to perform reliably over the long term. Periodically inspect the flashing after severe weather to ensure the seal remains intact and that no debris has accumulated around the window frame. Clean any moss or lichen growth from the roof surface around the flashing to maintain water drainage and prevent water pooling.
- Protect the flashing from damage during handling and storage on site
- Inspect the seal periodically, especially after storms or heavy rain
- Keep the roof surface around the flashing clear of debris and moss
- The aluminium construction requires no special cleaning or treatment
