Troubleshooting

Water ingress detected after installation

Carefully inspect the entire flashing area for any gaps, tears, or improperly sealed overlaps. Ensure all apron and side pieces are correctly positioned and secured according to the installation manual. Check that the slate thickness does not exceed the 10mm limit.

Flashing appears difficult to fit around window frame

Verify that the window frame is the correct size for the flashing kit's intended application (single window, 1340 x 980mm). Ensure the slate edges are clean and that you are following the step-by-step installation guide precisely, particularly regarding the order of apron and side piece installation.

Grey finish is scratched or damaged

Minor scratches can sometimes be touched up with a compatible grey paint suitable for exterior metal surfaces. For significant damage, replacement of the affected flashing section may be necessary. Contact the manufacturer for advice on touch-up paint or replacement parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before installation, ensure the window frame is correctly prepared and positioned according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Unroll the flashing kit and identify each component. Begin by securing the bottom apron piece, ensuring it overlaps the window frame correctly and extends under the slate course above. Proceed with installing the side flashing pieces, ensuring they overlap the bottom apron and underlay. Finally, install the top flashing piece, ensuring it overlaps the side pieces and is secured to create a watertight seal at the top. Always follow the detailed instructions provided with the kit for precise placement and fastening.

Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for use with natural slate roofing materials with a thickness of up to 10mm. It is optimized for the installation of single windows. Ensure the dimensions of the window (1340 x 980mm) are compatible with the opening you are creating.

Care: Once installed, the flashing requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the roof area around the flashing for any signs of debris accumulation, damage, or dislodgement. Clean gently with a soft brush or damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the powder-coated finish or compromise the seals.
