Flashings for FAKRO Skylights: FX, FV, FVE, and FVS

Enhance your FAKRO skylight performance and protect your roof by choosing the right flashing. Our flashings ensure a reliable, watertight seal between the skylight and your roofing material—whether it’s high-profile, profiled, or flat. Below, you’ll find all available flashing kits for FAKRO deck-mounted skylights (FX, FV, FVE, and FVS), including models with additional thermal insulation for even greater efficiency.

EL Flashing

For: FX, FV, FVE, FVS skylights

Roofing Material: Flat materials (e.g., shingles, plain tile, slate) up to roughly 3/8 inch thick.

Key Features:

• Side sections overlap the roof material for a secure, watertight finish.
• Bottom element equipped with a butyl strip to guard against wind-driven rain or snow.

EL-T Thermo and ELA-T Thermo

EL-T for: FX skylights

ELA-T for: FV, FVE, FVS skylights

Roofing Material: Flat materials (e.g., shingles, plain tile, slate) up to roughly 3/8 inch thick.

Thermo Advantage

• Added Insulation: A layer of insulating material around the skylight frame reduces thermal bridging.

• Condensation Control: By minimizing temperature differences at the skylight perimeter, Thermo flashings help prevent interior moisture buildup.

• Energy Efficiency: Improves the overall U-value of your skylight installation, potentially lowering utility costs.

• Durable Protection: Extra insulation shields the skylight frame from freezing conditions, extending product lifespan.

EH-A Flashing

For: FX, FV, FVE, FVS skylights

Roofing Material: Profile depths up to 3½ inches (e.g., tile, corrugated, standing seam)

Key Features

• Wider, longer lower section adapts tightly to deeper or more complex profiles.

• Butyl strip ensures a reliable seal at the bottom edge, preventing moisture intrusion.

EH-AT Thermo and EH/A-AT Thermo

EL-T for: FX skylights

ELA-T for: FV, FVE, FVS skylights

Roofing Material: Profile depths up to 3½ inches (e.g., tile, corrugated, standing seam)

Thermo Advantage

• Integrated Insulation: Adds a cushion of insulating material around the skylight frame, reducing heat loss or gain.

• Less Condensation: Helps stabilize temperatures at the skylight’s edges, diminishing the chances of moisture buildup.

• Better Energy Performance: May raise the overall R-value of the skylight system, helping lower heating or cooling costs.

• Frame Protection: Insulation helps safeguard the skylight frame from harsh, cold environments.

In this image, 0°C represents cold exterior temperatures, and 20°C represents indoor room temperature. The Thermo flashing significantly reduces cold bridging around the skylight frame, resulting in a more even temperature distribution. By contrast, a standard flashing may allow more cold infiltration, making the interior surfaces near the skylight frame noticeably cooler. This demonstrates how Thermo flashing helps maintain a more comfortable, energy-efficient environment year-round.

1. Choose Your Skylight Model

   • Determine the skylight model (FX, FV, FVE, or FVS) you plan to purchase, then select the appropriate flashing.

2. Match Your Roofing Material

   • Use the EL Series for flat roofing (e.g., shingles or slate).

   • Use the EH Series for profiled, high-profile, or standing seam roofs.

3. Thermo or Standard

   • Thermo flashings offer extra insulation—ideal for colder climates or maximum energy efficiency.

4. Choose proper size

   • FAKRO flashings often come in just a few universal sizes that fit multiple skylight dimensions. Verify the product code to ensure it’s compatible with your chosen skylight and roof specifications.
