Fakro ELJ Recessed Flashing Kit for Slate up to 10mm

Fakro ELJ Recessed Flashing Kit for Slate up to 10mm

The Fakro ELJ Recessed Flashing Kit is designed to provide a secure and watertight installation when fitting a compatible Fakro roof window into a roof covered with non-interlocking slate. Suitable for natural or man-made slate up to 10mm thick, this flashing kit helps create a neat connection between the roof window and the surrounding roof covering. The recessed design allows the roof window to sit 30mm lower within the roof structure compared with a standard-depth installation. This creates a more integrated appearance and can be particularly useful when a lower-profile roof window installation is preferred.

Designed for Non-Interlocking Slate

The ELJ has been specifically developed for use with non-interlocking natural or man-made slate up to 10mm thick. Using a flashing kit designed for the specific roofing material helps ensure that the roof window is properly integrated into the roof and provides effective protection against the elements. Its durable construction makes it suitable for a variety of slate-roofed properties, while the discreet finish helps the flashing blend with the surrounding roof.

Recessed Installation for a Lower Profile

One of the main benefits of the ELJ is its recessed design. It allows the compatible roof window to be installed 30mm lower in the roof than with a standard-depth flashing kit. By positioning the window deeper into the roof structure, the finished installation can have a more streamlined and integrated appearance. This makes the ELJ a useful option for projects where the visual profile of the roof window is an important consideration.

Suitable for a Wide Range of Roof Pitches

The Fakro ELJ can be used on roof pitches from 20° to 90°, providing flexibility for a wide variety of pitched roof applications. Whether the roof has a relatively shallow slope or a much steeper pitch, the broad compatibility makes the ELJ suitable for many installation requirements.

Durable RAL 7022 Finish

The flashing is finished in RAL 7022, providing a subtle and professional appearance that complements a wide range of roof coverings. Its understated finish helps the flashing sit neatly alongside the surrounding slate while maintaining a clean overall appearance.

The Fakro ELJ Recessed Flashing Kit for Slate up to 10mm is available in three sizes, giving you options to match the compatible Fakro roof window being installed.

• 550x1180mm

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
