These FAKRO flashings have been designed specifically for use with standard 114 x 140cm FAKRO conservation roof windows on tiled roofs. 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. This conservation flashing for tiled roofs has been manufactured from aluminium, and is coated with a polyester covering to add durability. The flashing is malleable to allow it to fit around the tile profiles, and is finished in black (RAL9005), creating a subtle finish which tends to fit in with most roof colourings. What are FAKRO conservation windows? Conservation windows are FAKRO windows that have been designed specifically for buildings that are in conservation areas, ensuring that they meet planning restrictions where required, which standard FAKRO roof windows may not do. Conservation windows feature a single black vertical bar down the middle of the window and black exterior frame cladding, which makes it more suitable for traditional construction, as well as maintaining the character of more historic buildings by blending in with the roof more. Why do you need FAKRO 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 window and the roof tiles, ensuring that the window is fitted accurately, creating a neat finish. However, the FAKRO flashing is not just used for visual effect, the flashing is also used to protect the window from weather conditions, creating efficient rainwater drainage with the ridged design, and preventing water entry at the points where the window connects 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 conservation roof window.
