fitting velux windows in line

Sep 11, 2008 0 Replies

Another part of my house refurb is fitting of 2 or 3 veluxes above each other up the stone slate roof slope above a new stairwell. NB They will *not* be immediately adjacent to each other but spaced apart to avoid the 2 X huge beams holding up the rafters...



I was envisaging just bunging in 2 or 3 veluxes with standard flashing kits with a line (or so) of (appropriately sized) stone slate showing between each one. However the suggestion is that there is more to it than that.....



I have got somewhat confusing info. that fitting 2 or 3 as I describe will probly need extra flashing kits to effectively cover the gaps between the veluxes - ring any bells with anyone?



So - my questions:-



How small can the gaps between veluxes be *without* needing to run to extra/expensive? flashing kits?



I've had a poke on Velux website but it doesn't seem geared to answer these sorts of things - just to market the concepts (surprise!)



any help/pointers gratefully received



Jim
