Fakro ESA Low Pitch Flashing Kit for Flat Roof Coverings up to 5mm

Fakro ESA Low Pitch Flashing Kit for Flat Roof Coverings up to 5mm

The Fakro ESA Low Pitch Flashing Kit for Flat Roof Coverings up to 5mm is designed to provide a secure and watertight connection between a Fakro roof window and flat roofing materials. It is particularly useful for lower-pitched roofs, helping to improve water drainage around the window while maintaining a neat and professional finish.

Designed for Low-Pitched Roofs

The ESA flashing kit is suitable for roofs with pitches from 10° to 75°, giving you plenty of flexibility when installing roof windows on different roof designs. Its low-pitch configuration is designed to address the drainage challenges often associated with roofs that have a shallower angle.

Improved Water Drainage

The flashing raises the pitch of the roof window by 10° at the top before gradually transitioning back to the normal roof pitch along the length of the window. This helps rainwater flow efficiently across the flashing and away from the window, providing a practical solution where effective water drainage is essential.

Suitable for Flat Roof Coverings

The Fakro ESA is designed for flat roof coverings up to 5mm thick. It is suitable for materials such as bitumen shingles and aluminium standing seam roofing, making it a versatile option for modern and traditional flat-profile roof designs. When selecting the ESA flashing kit, it is important to check the roof covering and its thickness to ensure compatibility. The kit is not suitable for use with Forticrete Centurion on roof pitches between 10° and 20°.

Neat and Discreet Finish

Finished in RAL7022, the ESA flashing kit has a subtle, modern appearance that blends neatly with the surrounding roof covering. It provides the practical weather protection required around the roof window without detracting from the overall appearance of the roof.
