SECTION 3 - Prior to installation> Receiving the roof window

> Transport & storage

Before you can derive the structural framing dimensions you will need to understand which of the following options apply to your project:

ON THE RAFTER OR BETWEEN THE RAFTERThe type of tiles used affects how the roof window is installed. One of the following options will be used:

WARM OR COLD ROOF CONSTRUCTION TYPE

INSTALLATION HEIGHT

structural opening

75 M

AX

Cold roof In a cold roof construction, the insulation layer is placed horizontally, directly above the ceiling of the upper story of the habitable section of the building, usually positioned between the joists in the loft space.

The maximum height that can be used with the flashing kit is 75mm for all tile types. This is measured from the top of the soaker extrusion (part 6) to the top of the structural support (as shown). If your tiles are thicker than this then we recommend the use of lead soakers or mortar bed at the jambs.

NOTE: The flashing kit is only suitable for ‘on the rafter’ installation.

Warm roof In a warm roof construction, the insulation is positioned directly under the external waterproofing (e.g. tiles or slates), following the rafter line.

Between the rafter (Flush Slate Installation):When tile types are thinner and a standard ‘on the rafter’ installation would result in a non-flush installation; a ‘between the rafter’ installation can be used. The roof window is sunk in between the rafters to a depth equal to the height that it would protrude above the finished roof line if a standard installation was used, nominally to a sunk depth of 20mm (Installers are advised to check this dimension prior to installation). Due to the roof window being sunk below the top of the rafters, the associated structural framing sizes increase. Likewise, dependent upon the pitch of the roof, the run-off required at the cill tilting fillet may vary. Nominally quoted framing sizes use the lowest installation pitch and calculate for worst case scenario.

On the Rafter (Standard Installation):This installation (as the name suggests) installs the roof window with it sitting on top of the rafters. For the majority of profiled tiles (Clay, Pantile etc) the roof window remains flush to the top of the tiles and will not project above the finished roof line. For thinner tile types (Slate) the roof window will not be flush and will project above the finished roof line. If a flush detail is required for thin tile types then a ‘between the rafter’ (commonly referred to as Flush Slate) installation is required.

SECTION 4 - Preparing the structural opening > Type of roof

RECEIVING THE ROOF WINDOW

We recommend that the roof window packaging is temporarily opened to allow inspection of the goods for damage. Follow the instructions on the delivery checking and advice label.

Once the roof window has been checked, repackage it in the original packaging for safe storage until the roof window is to be installed.

TRANSPORT & STORAGE

Keep the roof window in its original packaging and store off the ground in a secure covered dry place until it is required for installation.

When transporting the roof window in its box, carry the box by lifting it from the underside rather than lifting by its strapping.

Only carry the box if the banding is attached in its original condition. Do not carry by the box if the nylon banding has been cut or appears in any way damaged.

Stack multiple units carefully and only as many units high as is set out on the transport information label on the box.

Only remove the roof window from its packaging when it is required for installation.

Once unpacked carry the roof window by lifting it from the underside of the baseplate.

Mark the original box with the window number/location and keep all accessories and linings in the original box until they are required. When the installation is complete and all accessories/linings are used, recycle all of the packaging materials.

Trim the opening within the roof to the correct size required for the model of the roof window being installed. For instructions see: Type of Installation (Pg 8) Fold and trim the roofing membrane around the structural opening as

shown. u

It is recommended that the roof is battened up to the cill of the opening at this stage. Batten spacing is determined by the roof covering being used. Adjust the battening and tiling to course and fit around the structural opening.

Install a cill tilting fillet as shown (we recommend hardwood or treated softwood). Fix the cill tilting fillet to the rafters.

Trimming the jamb flashing extrusionpOrientate one of the jamb flashings (Part 6) and clip onto the baseplate (Part 2) rollover- the excess felt on the jamb flashing should be towards the head of the roof window. Do the same on the opposite side. Ensure the felt attached to the jamb flashing is placed over the general roofing membrane.

Install the battens up the jambs

Install the head tilting fillet as shown (we recommend hardwood or treated softwood). Fix the head tilting fillet to the rafters.

Lay the jamb flashing (Part 6) down on a clean and dry surface. Fold back the foam and use a sharp knife to firmly score along the entire length of the extrusion several times. Then break off the excess extrusion.

NOTE: The positions for the guide notches were derived from a number of typical roof tiles and roof constructions. Depending on the roof make-up specific to the project. It may be necessary to trim the jamb flashing to a height not specified.

NOTE: If the excess felt attached to the jamb flashing (part 6) meets the next lap in the general roofing membrane, ensure it is tucked into this lap.

Lay the head lead replacement flashing (Part 9) over the head fillet. Fold, boss and tuck the flashing back into the baseplate rollover. There may be a requirement to trim the head flashing around the jamb battens depending on their position. This can be done with a sharp stanley knife.

Install the head roofing felt (Part 10). Lay the strip of roofing felt over the lead replacement flashing at the head (Part 9) and ensure it tucks under the next lap in the general roofing membrane.

The combination of the lead replacement flashing (Part 9) and the roofing felt (Part10) being lapped in this way, ensure moisture will run over the tilting fillet onto the baseplate and finally down off the roof.

Finish installing the final rows of battens at the head.

KEY General roofing membrane: Installed above,
