All you need to know about a VELUX Profile Set

Posted by Becky Graham on 4th May 2017

The VELUX ZWC Window Profile Set is for use with on-site flashing and is to be used with the installation of a VELUX window on a non-standard roofing material like felt, zinc, lead etc.

 A special head flashing (see below) will be supplied which hooks over the top hood section and overlaps the roofing material. The special head flashing is made from aluminium (matching colour to the profile of window) and will work with the side and bottom frame covers which are supplied with the window.

  • Insulated timber kerb allows the installation of a standard VELUX roof window on a flat roof.
  • You can select the insulated timber kerb to match the size of your roof window.
  • Allows flexibility to select the most appropriate type of roof window for your application.
  • Window perimeter flashing supplied
  • 10 year VELUX guarantee

Please note roof window needs to be purchased separately.

If you are building your own timber kerb you will still need to purchase the ZWC Profile Set.
