Fakro ELJ Slate Flashing

Fakro ELJ Slate Flashing

The Fakro ELJ Slate Flashing is a recessed flashing solution designed for installing compatible Fakro roof windows in slated roof coverings. Suitable for slate roofs with coverings up to 10mm thick (2 x 5mm), this flashing system helps create a neat, secure and weather-resistant finish around your roof window. Designed for individual roof windows installed within the slope of the roof, the ELJ flashing combines practical performance with a discreet appearance. Its recessed installation option allows you to position your roof window deeper into the roof construction, making it a suitable choice for projects where the finished appearance and installation depth are important considerations.

Recessed Installation and Flexible Positioning

The Fakro ELJ Slate Flashing is available in two installation depth options, allowing compatible roof windows to be fitted at different positions within the roof construction. The V (0) version provides standard installation, while the J (-3cm) version allows the window to be recessed approximately 3cm deeper into the roof. The standard installation of roof windows using EL flashing is the ELV version, while the ELJ version is designed for recessed installation. Selecting the correct flashing type helps ensure that the roof window is fitted appropriately for the desired installation depth and roof structure.

Construction and Water Drainage

The Fakro ELJ flashing consists of lower, upper and side elements, with the dimensions determined by the height of the compatible roof window. The side elements are installed alternately with the slate roof covering, helping create a neat and integrated finish around the window. The lower flashing element features a plastic mat bonded to its underside, allowing it to adhere to the roof covering for a tidy fit. A gutter installed above the roof window helps direct condensation away from the window, supporting effective water management within the installation. This design helps provide a weather-resistant assembly when correctly fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions.

Suitable for Slate Roof Coverings

The Fakro ELJ Slate Flashing is designed for slated roofs with coverings up to 10mm in thickness, including two layers of 5mm slate. It is intended for use with compatible Fakro roof windows and is suitable for individual window installations within the roof slope. Before ordering, check the thickness of your slate covering, the roof window model and the required installation depth to ensure the flashing is appropriate for your project.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:
