Fakro ELV Rooflight Slates up to 10mm Thick Flashing Kit
The Fakro ELV Flashing Kit is designed specifically for installing Fakro roof windows into roofs finished with slate coverings up to 10mm thick. It provides a practical way to create a neat connection between the roof window and slate roof, helping protect the installation from the elements while maintaining a clean external finish.
Designed for Slate Roof Coverings
The ELV flashing is suitable for individual Fakro roof windows installed within the slope of the roof and is designed to work with slate coverings up to 10mm thick. Its carefully designed components work around the window to provide a suitable weatherproofing solution for slate roof installations.
The flashing can also be used when combining multiple window units. For windows installed at V depth, vertical, horizontal and block combinations are possible, while J depth supports horizontal combinations.
Flexible Installation Depths
The EL flashing range is available in two types, allowing windows to be positioned at different depths within the roof construction. The two installation depths are V (0) and J (-3cm).
The standard installation configuration when using EL flashing is the ELV version, providing a straightforward option for standard V-depth installation.
Suitable Roof Pitch Range
The appropriate roof pitch depends on the installation depth. For N and V depths, the EL flashing can be used on roofs with pitches from 15° to 90°. For J depth, the recommended roof pitch range is 20° to 90°.
This broad range makes the flashing suitable for many different roof configurations, provided the selected window, flashing and installation depth are compatible.
Flashing Components
The ELV flashing system consists of several key components designed to work together around the roof window. These include the bottom part of the flashing, side parts with sponge seals, the top part of the flashing and a gutter.
The side sections incorporate sponge seals to help provide protection around the window installation, while the integrated gutter helps manage water and direct it away from the roof window.
