FAKRO roof window flashing

fakro-flashing-elv-elj-slate When purchasing a FAKRO roof window, you’ll require the correct FAKRO flashing products. Window flashings are a piece of material that is fitted around the window to prevent water and wind from entering the roof space. They create a watertight seal that is the first point of contact for wet weather, and are the first layer of protection in preventing your home from getting water damage.

But which flashing do you need for your FAKRO window? This can vary depending on the type of window you are opting for and the type of roof tile on your roof. We’ve broken it down below so you can easily find the correct FAKRO flashing compatible with your FAKRO window.
