The Fakro ESA Low-Pitched Flashing Kit is designed for installing roof windows on low-pitch roofs of 10° or more, raising the installation angle by an additional 10°. Ideal for mansard roofs, extensions, and attic adaptations, it enhances space while ensuring a precise, weatherproof fit. This flashing kit supports individual window installations and modular configurations, requiring a 20cm gap between horizontally joined windows.
Engineered for flat roof coverings with a profile depth of up to 10mm (2 x 5mm), the ESA Fakro Flashing Kit provides a secure and seamless connection with slates and similar materials. It consists of four elements, including a lower section fitted to the roofing material, and upper and side sections with integrated insulation. Its special installation brackets allow precise pitch adjustment for optimal performance.
The Fakro ESA flashing also has glued sponge seals in the side channels to block wind-blown dust, rain, and snow. An integrated gutter efficiently channels condensation away from the window, ensuring long-term durability and moisture control. Suitable for roof pitches between 10° and 75°, it offers a professional and reliable solution for low-pitched roof installations.
