Installation Steps
2. Installation Steps
2.1 Step 1 Roof flashing
Determine where you want to install the Solatube from the inside and mark the position
through the ceiling and the roof.
Create a circular opening with a diameter of between Ø 370 - Ø 380 mm through both the
ceiling and roof construction.
2.2 Step 2 Install the Ubiflex roof flashing
Remove sufficient tiles from the roof to allow the flashing to fit down onto the tile battens as
shown below.
Determine the ideal position so that the flashing can be installed beneath the tiles above / to
the sides and down onto the tiles below.
Once the final position is determined, mark and cut any obstructing tile batten to allow the
top tube assembly to fit through the flashing down into the roof void.
Important:
Temporarily insert the top tube assembly down through the flashing to help you
to centralise the flashing over the roof aperture created.
