Fakro Roof Lights & Low Pitch Flashing

Morning All

Any body have any expierience with fitting & use of Fakro rooflights & the low pitch flashing kits they sell?

I have a 12 degree pitch roof (due to depth of extension & Bedroom window above), have 3 rooflights being fitted:

Normally roof lights only work at 15 degrees minimum, so using a Fakro special low pitch flashing:

Would like to know if anybody has used Fakro roof lights and this flashing before? Any reviews most appreciated.

Thanks

sorry bud, I'm a Velux man. Heard they (Facro) are OK though.

Agreed noseall would prefer to use Velux myself, but they don't do a product that works on a 12 degree pitch roof other than ugly flat roof windows.

The Fakro option is a standard centre pivot window, but the flashing kicks up the back of the window & thereby exceeding the minimum 15 degrees required for these roof lights to work.

With all these deeper extensions being built, via the the Prior Approval of Larger Home Extension process, I'm surprised Velux havnt got a solution as Fakro have.

If they haven't, then they have missed a valuable marketing opportunity.
