Suffolk Stove Installations<\/a> comments that the main problem to overcome is getting the top edge of the flashing to be reliably watertight over the long term. This is due to the conservatory roof being subjected to the sun\u2019s heat and cold winters. Flashing on a normal roof is tightly sealed and reasonably aesthetically pleasing to look at, but with a conservatory, the edging and trims need to be tidy as well as functional.<\/p>\nA typical install was a large flat apron aluminium flashing apron siliconed onto the polycarbonate. He also had the top edge of the flashing lapped under the lead flashing between the house wall and the conservatory roof. On this occasion, the ribs of the roof were quite close together and the span was only around 500mm, which meant the flashing had to be cut down to add the roof trim seal strip, get the apron’s edges under and put the seal strip back in with a nylon mallet.<\/p>\n
Another example included rubberised flashing to go through a polycarbonate roof where he had two 500x500mm square frames made in 3mm sheet (very much like a flat picture frame). He perforated around the ‘frame’ edges and used them above and below the roof to ‘sandwich’ the rubberised flashing with nuts and bolts through the holes to cinch the ‘frames’ and flashing together.<\/p>\n
