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.

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.
