For roofs below 15 degrees:
- The windows must be fitted at a minimum of 15°. It would be our suggestion that if the roof pitch is less than this then an up-stand should be constructed on site to ensure the window sits at 15° plus.
- We will supply the kingspan header section to fit over the head and EKB Side Profiles to be used alongside part 35 which is supplied with the windows. Site would be responsible for construction and weatherproofing the up-stand with the roof covering up to and under our EKB side profiles, Kingspan Header section (purchased separately from the window) and part 35 which is supplied with the windows.
- The roof covering is to be wrapped and sealed on bottom, sides and tops of the windows to the top edge of the bottom, sides and top of the frames.
- Any horizontal gutters between windows must be a minimum of 60mm wide, and the vertical gutters between windows must be a minimum of 60mm wide, and these will need to be made on site using the roof covering.
- The Kingspan Header is a covering for the head of the window that hooks over the top hood section and overlaps the roofing material as it is dressed up the window frame (purchased separately from the window).
- It works with the EKB side Profiles (purchased separately from the window) and bottom part 35 profile which is supplied with the window. The profiles are manufactured from aluminium, in a matching colour to the profiles of the window.
