This vertical 6 block combination flashing has been manufactured specifically for the installation of six 55 x 98cm FAKRO roof windows in a vertical pattern, creating two columns of three windows on a slate roof.
The 6 block combination flashing from FAKRO is specifically for use on roofs where the roofing materials are less than 10mm thick, and is most commonly used with natural slate and fibre cement slate products such as Etex and Cembrit slates.
The 6 block vertical combination flashing for slate roofs is manufactured from aluminium as standard, with sections of the flashing being made in a ridged profile for improved malleability around the roof tiles. The flashing is then covered in a polyester coating which improves durability and lifespan, before being finished in a brown grey shade (RAL 7022), which tends to blend in well with most roof finishes.
Flashings are an integral part of the installation of a FAKRO window, and although often disregarded, are incredibly important.
Flashings are used to create a tight connection between the roof windows and the roof slates, ensuring that each window is fitted accurately, creating a neat finish. The flashings tend to allow a distance of around 10cm between each window.
However, the FAKRO flashing is not just used to create a neat visual finish, the flashing is also used to protect the windows from weather conditions, creating efficient rainwater drainage with the ridged design, and preventing water entry at the points where the windows connect to the roof.
By installing FAKRO flashings on your slate roof, you are eliminating the potential for water to penetrate the roof, which prevents damp, condensation and structural issues from occurring over time. FAKRO flashings also help to increase the lifespan of the roof and the standard roof windows.
