Product Information

Full details

The Velux Recessed Insulated Slate Flashing (MK04) is designed for homeowners and professional installers looking to achieve a flush, low-profile finish for roof windows in natural slate roofs. By positioning the window deeper into the roof structure, it provides a superior aesthetic while utilizing an integrated BDX insulation collar to significantly reduce heat loss and eliminate cold bridges. While this system offers exceptional thermal efficiency and a clean look, it requires precise installation and is exclusively compatible with natural slate tiles up to 8mm thick, making it less flexible than standard flashing kits.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this with tiles thicker than 8mm?

No, this specific flashing is engineered strictly for natural slate up to 8mm thick; thicker materials will prevent the flashing from seating correctly.

Does this kit include the window?

No, this product is the flashing system only and is intended for use with the MK04 roof window model.

What is the primary benefit of the recessed design?

The primary benefit is aesthetics; the window sits lower in the roof structure for a flush, streamlined look.

Is professional installation recommended?

While DIY-friendly for experienced users, the recessed installation is more complex than standard kits and requires careful attention to detail.

Does the BDX collar help with sound insulation?

While primarily for thermal efficiency, the BDX collar provides a minor benefit in dampening external noise by filling the gap between the frame and the roof.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling around the base of the window

Inspect the transverse drainage gutter for debris blockage and ensure it is clear of slate shards.

Drafts detected around the window frame

Verify that the BDX insulation collar was seated flush against the frame during installation and check for gaps in the underfelt.

Pros and Cons

  • Comprehensive weather protection system included

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This flashing kit is designed specifically for the Velux MK04 roof window model. Before beginning, ensure your roof pitch is between 20° and 90°.

  1. Preparation: Clear the roof area and ensure the slate thickness does not exceed 8mm.
  2. Installation: Install the BDX collar around the window frame first to establish the thermal barrier.
  3. Flashing Application: Fix the flashing components starting from the bottom, working upward, and ensure the BFX underfelt collar is tucked tightly under existing roof felt.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically check the drainage gutters for debris, such as moss or leaves, to ensure water flow remains unobstructed. Wipe the external flashing with a damp cloth annually to maintain the integrity of the protective coating.
