When do you need pitched roof custom flashing?

Custom flashing is often needed when a standard flashing kit is not the best fit for the roof profile, especially on corrugated metal roofs, Colorbond roofs, unusual pitches or replacement openings. The flashing helps weatherproof the junction between the skylight and the surrounding roof.

Metal roof skylights Corrugated and Colorbond roofs often need custom flashing matched to the roof profile.
Tile roof skylights Many tiled roofs use VELUX EDW tile flashing when suitable.
Replacement jobs Existing roof openings may need custom work to suit a new VELUX skylight.

Tile roof, metal roof and roof profile suitability

Pitched roof flashing is not one-size-fits-all. The right option depends on the skylight family, roof material, roof pitch, roof profile, orientation and whether the job is a new installation or replacement.

  • Suitable for many VELUX FS, VS, VSS and VSE pitched roof skylight applications.
  • Important for corrugated metal, Colorbond and non-standard roof profiles.
  • Tile roofs may use VELUX tile flashing when the roof and skylight suit.
  • Best confirmed before ordering the skylight or cutting the roof opening.

Match flashing to skylight model, size and roof type

Pitched roof flashing should match the VELUX model code and size. For example, FS M06, VSS M06 and VSE M06 may share similar roof opening dimensions, but the product family, flashing type and roof detail still need to be checked.

  • FS: fixed pitched roof skylight, daylight only.
  • VS: manual opening pitched roof skylight.
  • VSS: solar opening pitched roof skylight.
  • VSE: electric opening pitched roof skylight.
  • GGL/GPL: roof windows for in-reach attic and loft spaces.

Metal roof flashing vs tile roof flashing

Tile roofs and metal roofs need different flashing details. A tiled pitched roof may suit VELUX EDW flashing when the product and roof are compatible. Corrugated metal or Colorbond roofs often need custom flashing to suit the sheet profile and water flow.

Tile roof flashing Often uses VELUX EDW-style flashing when the roof pitch and tile profile are suitable.
Metal roof flashing Often needs custom Colorbond flashing matched to corrugations, ribs and sheet direction.
Low-pitch risk Lower pitches need extra care because water moves more slowly around the skylight.

Which pitched roof skylight does this flashing suit?

The flashing should be selected together with the skylight. A fixed FS skylight, solar VSS skylight, electric VSE skylight and roof window may need different flashing considerations even when the size looks similar.

Model family Best for Consider this before choosing flashing
FS fixed skylights Daylight only Good when ventilation is not required.
VS manual opening skylights Manual airflow Best when the skylight is reachable or manual control is practical.
VSS solar opening skylights Solar-powered ventilation Great when the room needs airflow and hard-wired power is not preferred.
VSE electric opening skylights Hard-wired ventilation Good when wiring is planned or already available.
GGL / GPL Roof windows Best for in-reach attic and loft spaces, not standard ceiling skylight positions.
If the room traps heat, steam or smells, compare VSS or VSE before choosing fixed FS.

Replacement skylight flashing jobs

Replacement jobs often need extra checking. The existing roof opening, old skylight brand, flashing shape, roof profile and internal shaft may not match a new VELUX skylight exactly. Custom flashing can help make the new installation cleaner and safer when the roof detail allows it.

  • Measure the existing skylight and internal ceiling opening.
  • Take roof photos showing the roof profile, pitch and surrounding sheets or tiles.
  • Check whether the new VELUX skylight will fit the existing structure.
  • Confirm whether fixed, manual, solar or electric opening is the best replacement.
