VELUX ECW curb mount flashing is designed to work with tiles (over 1/2 in. thickness) and other high-profile roofing materials. The flashing is pliable and pleated, making it easy to form the flashing to the roof tiles. It includes an adhesive underlayment that provides an additional layer of water protection and prevents leaks. When paired with the VELUX No Leak Skylight (models FCM, VCM, VCE, VCS) this flashing makes the skylight eligible for the VELUX 10-year installation warranty.
ECW flashing is designed for use on roofs with tile or high-profile roofing materials with a minimum pitch of 14° and a maximum pitch of 60°
ECW 2246 flashing is designed specifically to fit VELUX curb mounted 2222, 2230, 2234 and 2246 models with an outside curb width of 25-1/2 in. and maximum length of 49-1/2 in.
Designed to work in conjunction with a site built curb and the ECW cannot be installed on skylights from other manufacturers or other VELUX skylight models not noted above
Curb mounted flashing kits for shingle roofs are available (model ECL)
A:Â This flashing will not work on a metal roof. Please call VELUX @ 1-800-888-3589 with the skylight model chosen so that we can recommend the proper flashing kit needed for standing seam metal roof.

1 Answer
Answer This Question
A:Â Great question. Links to appropriate flashing kits are in the Product Details section when you are viewing the roof window or skylight on homedepot.com. The bullet point about tile roof flashing for a VELUX GPU "CK04" roof window model links you to flashing model EDW "CK04" 0000. The bullet point about tile roof flashing for a VELUX deck mount FS/VS/VSE/VSS "C04" skylight model links you to flashing model EDW "C04" 0000. Good luck with your skylight project!

FLASHING GREAT FOR NEW INSTALL: MODS REQUIRED FOR REPLACEMENT UNITS OR NEW HOLE IN EXISTING ROOFING
The flashing kit for the deck mounted skylight is comprehensive and fairly straight forward for a new installation on virgin decking (new roof). Based on past experience, it is critical that the adhesive roll flashing tape be adhered all the way up to the rim of the vertical sides of the window (per instructions.)
FOR REPLACEMENT SKYLIGHTS ON AN EXISTING ROOF or new units on an existing roof, the flashing kit is not so easy. Existing roofing needs to be taken back away from the roof opening and the existing underlayment/sheathing needs to be scrupulously clean of grit and adhesive etc. We had to modify the application of the adhesive with overlapping layers rather than a single roll up application as designed vs removing a substantial portion of shingles and re-roofing/waterproofing. This would likely void any anticipated warranty on installation, although I'm confident in our application and so far, no leaks through winter storms. Prior skylights failed due to adhesive tape flashing not going all the way up to the rim of the vertical edge, so this is important. (took over 10 years, but it rotted all the way through, allowing seepage in the lower corners. (Not visible until the top metal flashing was removed.) The glass seals remained intact, and otherwise the prior skylights (same size VELUX deck mount) were perfectly fine.

The product is very good and I would have given it 5 Stars if the packaging were better. The instructions were adequate and the components top notch. I ordered 6 kits - 3 arrived damaged. I was able to fix 2 of them but the third was beyond repair. Velux needs to redesign their packaging.
