Velux EKW CK01 2002M PRO+ FLASHING SET, XOMBI ELEMENT 2, STANDARD INSTALL, 55 X 70
Typical applications and installation
This flashing set is used during the installation of Xombi Element 2 roof windows into pitched roofs. The flashing components integrate between the window frame and the roof surface, creating a continuous weathertight barrier. Standard installation means the window is fitted at the standard pitch and height for the roof type. The flashing set accommodates the 55 × 70 window size and works with common roof coverings including tiles and slates. Installation should be carried out by competent installers familiar with roof window fitting procedures.
- Install flashing set during initial window fitting, before roof covering is fully secured
- Ensure roof opening dimensions match the 55 × 70 specification
- Position flashing components to direct water runoff away from the window frame
- Secure flashing according to Velux installation guidance and local building regulations
- Use on pitched roofs only; not suitable for flat roof installations
Weathertightness and roof integration
The PRO+ specification indicates professional-grade materials designed for reliable weatherproofing. The flashing set must be installed correctly to maintain the weathertight seal; any gaps or misalignment will compromise performance and allow water penetration. Proper integration with the roof covering is critical, as the flashing directs rainwater safely away from the window frame and into the roof drainage system.
- Check all flashing components for damage before installation
- Ensure flashing sits flush against both window frame and roof surface
- Seal joints and overlaps according to manufacturer instructions
- Verify weathertightness after installation by visual inspection and water testing if required
Maintenance and on-site handling
The flashing set requires minimal maintenance once correctly installed. Periodically inspect the roof around the window to ensure the flashing remains secure and the seal is intact. On site, store the flashing components in dry conditions and protect them from damage during transport and before installation. Handle carefully to avoid bending or denting, which could compromise the seal.
- Store flashing set indoors and keep dry until installation
- Inspect annually for signs of movement, corrosion, or seal failure
- Clear debris and moss from around the flashing to maintain water drainage
- Do not attempt to repair damaged flashing; replace with a new set to maintain warranty and performance
