Velux Flat Roof Skylight Custom Pitch Adapter Flashing - FCM, VCM & VCS

Pitch Adapters are designed for the installation of Velux Flat Roof Skylights with a roof pitch of less than 5°.

While Velux Flat Roof Skylights can be installed at 0°, both Velux and Australian Standards recommend a minimum fall to ensure long-term performance. In accordance with AS 4285:2019 – Rooflights and AS 1288:2021 – Glass in Buildings (Section 6 Overhead Glazing), skylights should be installed with a minimum pitch of 3°–5° to promote water runoff and minimise condensation build-up.

For this reason, all Velux skylights installed on roofs below 5° must be mounted on pitched flashings to achieve the required fall and ensure compliance with the relevant standards.

Skyspan Custom Skylight Flashings are manufactured to suit Tile, Corrugated, Metaldeck and Concrete Roofs. Each flashing includes a timber hob to support the Velux unit and provide a fixing point for the internal plasterboard shaft.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Why do I need a custom flashing for a Velux skylight?

Velux flat roof skylights are supplied without flashings, and standard Velux flashings are typically limited to tiled roofs and specific pitch ranges. Skyspan custom flashings are purpose-designed to correctly integrate Velux skylights into metal deck, corrugated, tile, and concrete roofs, ensuring long-term weatherproofing and compliance with Australian Standards.

What roof pitches can Skyspan Velux flashings suit?

Skyspan manufactures custom flashings to suit roof pitches from 0° through to 90°, including:

- Flat roofs (0–5°) using pitch adaptors
- Low-pitch roofs (5–14°)
- Standard pitched roofs (15°+)

Where Velux minimum pitch requirements apply, Skyspan flashings are engineered to raise the skylight to the correct effective pitch, preventing water ponding, condensation issues, and warranty problems.

What makes Skyspan flashings different to standard or competitor flashings?

Skyspan flashings are built for longevity and site flexibility:

- 0.75 mm BlueScope Zincalume® steel (significantly thicker than typical 0.42–0.55 mm alternatives)
- One-piece, spot-welded construction (no rivets, reduced leak risk)
- Custom-made to suit roof profile, pitch, and skylight model
- Powder-coated or finished to match Colorbond®, Dulux®, Interpon®, and more
- Manufactured in Australia and backed by a 7-year warranty

Which Velux models are compatible with Skyspan custom flashings?

Skyspan manufactures flashings for most Velux models, including:

- Flat Roof Skylights – FCM (fixed), VCM (manual), VCS (solar)
- Pitched Roof Skylights – FS, VS, VSE, VSS
- Roof Windows – GGL, GPL
- If you have an unusual model or older Velux unit, Skyspan can confirm compatibility before manufacture.

Are Skyspan Velux flashings compliant and certified?

Yes. Skyspan custom flashings are:

- Manufactured to comply with relevant Australian Standards
- Designed to support Velux installation requirements
- Supplied with documentation suitable for building surveyors and certifiers
- Covered by a 7-year manufacturer warranty
