Installation - 

Tiled Roof

STEP 7

Lift or remove the formed 

flashing. 

Using a weather resistant 

roofing silicone sealant, 

apply a 15-20mm wide 

bead of sealant around 

the perimeter of the 

flashing area. 

Return the flashing to the 

tiles ensuring no gaps 

greater than 3mm are 

present. Seal any gaps 

along the front or side 

with additional sealant.

STEP 8

Return the higher row of 

tiles to the flashing.

These should have been 

cut to provide a snug 

fit which still allows the 

throat of the ventilator to 

fit onto the flashing.

Adjust the flashing to get 

a good fit.

 

Ensure sufficient sealant applied in tile troughs. This helps 

prevent any water entering from adjacent tiles.

Tiles can be temporarily removed to assist flashing fitment
