FAQs
What material is the Corotherm Side Flashing made from?
The flashing is made from durable PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride).
What thickness of roof sheets is this flashing compatible with?
This side flashing is designed specifically for 10mm thick roof sheets.
Can I use this flashing on its own without a glazing bar?
Yes, it can be used independently on the final rafter to finish the roof edge.
How is the flashing secured in place?
It should be secured to the rafter using appropriate fixings, such as screws with washers. These are typically not included with the flashing.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information is specific to the retailer and manufacturer; please refer to your purchase documentation for details.
Can this flashing be painted?
Painting PVC is possible but not recommended as standard paints may not adhere well or could degrade the material over time. It is designed to be weather-resistant as is.
What is the total length of the flashing?
The total length of this product is 4 meters.
Troubleshooting
Flashing does not sit flush against the rafter.
Ensure the rafter surface is flat and free of obstructions. Check that the flashing is not warped; if so, allow it to acclimatize in a warm environment before installation.
Water ingress at the roof edge.
Verify that the flashing is correctly positioned to overlap the roof sheets and that all fixings are secure. Check for any gaps or damage to the flashing itself.
Difficulty in cutting the flashing to size.
Use a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife for clean cuts. Ensure the flashing is well-supported during cutting to prevent cracking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Corotherm Side Flashing is designed for direct attachment to the end rafter. Ensure the rafter is clean and dry. The flashing can be positioned to overlap the edge of the 10mm roof sheets. Secure it using appropriate fixings (e.g., screws with washers, not included) spaced adequately to ensure a firm hold without distorting the PVC. If using with a glazing bar, follow the specific instructions for that component to ensure a seamless integration.
Compatibility: This flashing is specifically designed for use with 10mm thick roof sheets. It is compatible with most standard rafter constructions. For optimal results, use it with Corotherm glazing bars if a combined system is desired.
Care: Clean the flashing periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the PVC material. Inspect regularly for any signs of wear or damage, especially after severe weather.
