Flashings are a critical component for the the accurate installation of skylights.
Accuratley designed flashing details provide a robust and neat fit when installing. The funciton of flashing kits is to provide excellent drainage away from the window and to offer protection against any leaks. Given the multiple roof types, Fakro offers a broad range of flashing options to fit most requirement needs.
All flashings are factory produced using aluminium and are coated with polyester varnish.
The general colour is brown RAL 7022, which is blends in with most roof types.
