Fakro XDS Air Tight Collar

Fakro XDS Air Tight Collar

The Fakro XDS Air Tight Collar is designed to improve the energy efficiency and overall performance of your roof window installation. It creates a reliable thermal and air-tight barrier between the roof window and the roof covering, helping to reduce heat loss, prevent moisture from reaching the insulation, and maintain a more comfortable indoor environment.

Effective Thermal Insulation

Made from specially impregnated sheep wool, the insulating material combines high density with natural flexibility. This allows the collar to fit snugly around the roof window, helping to minimise thermal bridges and improve the continuity of the insulation. By reducing areas where heat can escape, the Fakro XDS Air Tight Collar helps your roof window installation perform efficiently throughout the year.

Reliable Air-Tight Protection

The included air-tight flashing works alongside the insulation to create a secure seal around the window. It helps prevent warm, moisture-laden indoor air from entering the insulation layer, reducing the risk of condensation and helping the insulation maintain its effectiveness over time. This provides an additional layer of protection for the roof structure and surrounding materials.

Simple and Versatile Installation

The Fakro XDS Air Tight Collar is designed to accommodate different roof batten configurations, making it a practical choice for a range of roof window installations. Its flexible construction makes fitting straightforward while providing a close, dependable seal around the window.

Available Sizes

The Fakro XDS Air Tight Collar is available in the following sizes:

• 780 x 1600mm
• 940 x 1600mm

Both variants provide the same reliable thermal and air-tight protection, allowing you to select the size that matches your roof window installation.

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.

If you're ordering multiple products from the same supplier, your order will be dispatched together once all items are ready. This means the longest lead time will apply.

If you need part of your order sooner, please call us on 01202 113233. We can arrange a split delivery, although an additional shipping charge will apply.
