This 6 block vertical combination flashing from FAKRO has been manufactured for use where six 55 x 78cm FAKRO roof windows are being installed on a tiled roof in a vertical pattern, creating two columns of three windows. This flashing is designed for profiled interlocking tiles including Marley Ashmore, Marley Double Roman, Marley Ludlow, Redland Landmark and Redland Saxon tiles, and Forticrete Hardrow and Minislate. The 6 block vertical combination flashing has been manufactured from aluminium as standard, with some sections of the flashing formed with a ridge profile – this adds malleability, which ensures the flashing can fit tightly around roof tiles and roof windows. Why do you need FAKRO 6 block vertical combination flashings? 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 tiles, ensuring that the windows are 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 for visual effect, 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 tiled 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.
