All pitched roof windows, whether they are centre pivot windows, top hung windows, or any of the other opening types will require a flashing kit to be able to complete a pitched roof window installation. Thankfully we have flashing kits to suit all. Whether you have a slate roof, or need a combination flashing there are flashing kits for all.
The flashing kit is equally important, if not more important than the roof window itself. It is the job of the windows flashing kit to ensure that there is a weather tight bond between the roof and the window.
There are a wide variety of flashing kit types that are necessary because of the wide variety of roof coverings. Whether you have a natural slate roof, Clay plain tiles, Concrete interlocking tiles, or even sheet material such as corrugated metal, there will be a corresponding flashing kit that you will need to use.
There are also special flashing kits for conservation windows, that enable the window to be recessed into the roof which some planning offers will require.
Combination flashing kits are used when you are trying to group windows together to form a larger glazed area. You may be restricted by which windows you are able to use to accomplish this, it may be easier to look at the flashing kits first to determine which windows will be able to be installed in this way.
Some suppliers offer low pitch flashing kits, these are used to enable installation of a pitched roof window at below the required pitch – they simply lift the window so that the window and flashing kit will meet the pitch while leaving the roof in situ.
To accompany the already growing list of options for flashing kits, there are also a range of optional installation products which can aid in installation and help avoid some common issues post installation. Insulation collars prevent cold spots, which can from damp, vapour barriers, and underfelt.
