Prepare and fit
a wedge below
the aperture
4
Cover the wedge installed
in the previous step with
flashing. The flashing width
should be at least 100mm
(either side) greater than the
apron. The highlighted edge of
the flashing should be tucked
underneath the apron
The bottom of the wedge
should meet level with the
tiles that will be installed later.
This can be determined by
trial fitting the Conservation
Luxlite™ assembly. The wedge
should be at least as wide as
the apron

Bring into position

Bring the Conservation Lux-
lite™ into position and align it
so that it is centered on the
aperture. Seal the interface

Luxlite™ and the top of the
structural opening with sili-

Fit tile battens
to the roof
Fit tiles to the roof
Fit the tiles to the roof. The
Conservation Luxlite™ has
been designed so that the
roof tiles can overlap the
apron, leaving little alumini-
um exposed for a minimalist
aesthetic
Fix to the roof
Use the brackets provided to
fix your Conservation Lux-
lite™ to the roof, following the
assembly section guide
8
The tile battens can
now be fitted to the
roof. The battens
should be flush with
the edge of the Con-
servation Luxlite™
aluminium apron
9
Cover the wedge
with flashing
Fit flashing to cover
the battens
Seal beneath the lip of the
apron and drape over the bat-
tens. The tiles will sit over the
flashing (side flashing won’t
be required if using flat roof
tiles or slate).

Plasterboard to
finish assembly
Apply plasterboard to the
internal faces of the aperture.
The plasterboard is to be ap-
plied up to the internal trim of
the Conservation Luxlite™
