Flashing Kits

Flashings are crucial for creating a secure connection between roof windows and roofing materials. Well-designed flashing details ensure a durable and tidy fit with the roofing material. The main purpose of flashing is to promote good drainage away from the window and to offer protection from the elements. Standard flashings are designed for the most common types of roof coverings: flat-flashing ES, profiled-flashing EZ, and for roof surfaces with a high profile- Flashing EH, slate-flashing EL, plain tiles – EPV. Roof windows can be installed in the roof structure at three different levels: N (3cm) V (0cm) J (– 3cm) Flashings are categorized accordingly. The last letter of the flashing type code indicates the depth at which the roof window can be fitted. Specific flashings are available for less common roof coverings, e.g. some flat roofing materials - Flashing EL & EG, and flat sheet metal roofs - flashing EE. For instance, flashing EZV means: E - flashing Z - types of the roofing material V - level of installation There are also flashings for specialist applications, such as flashing EHV-AT with additional insulation and flashing EA for window installation at a different angle from that of the main roof. For the installation of roof windows at a pitch below 15°, the EFW Flat Roof System should be used.
