Best Flashing for Tiled Roofs
This guide explains why proper flashing is essential on tiled roofs and how the Master Flash Vertical Tile Flash ensures reliable protection.
With its oversized, formable base and durable EPDM construction, it creates a watertight seal over slate, clay, or concrete tiles, preventing leaks and safeguarding your roof for years to come.
Why is flashing important on tiled roofs?
Tiled roofs often have uneven surfaces and overlapping joints, which can make sealing around pipes and vents more difficult. Without proper flashing, water can penetrate beneath the tiles, leading to leaks and structural issues.
The Master Flash Vertical Tile Flash is designed with a large, formable base to create a secure seal over irregular tile profiles.
What makes the Master Flash Vertical Tile Flash different from standard flashings?
Unlike general-purpose flashings, the Vertical Tile Flash has an oversized aluminium base that can be shaped to fit over clay, slate, or concrete tiles. This ensures full contact and a weatherproof seal, even on uneven roof surfaces.
Can it be used on any type of roof tile?
Yes. The Master Flash Vertical Tile Flash is suitable for most common tile types, including slate, clay, and concrete. Its flexible base can be moulded to follow the contours of different tile profiles.
Can it be used on any type of roof tile?
Yes. The Master Flash Vertical Tile Flash is suitable for most common tile types, including slate, clay, and concrete. Its flexible base can be moulded to follow the contours of different tile profiles.
Is the material fire resistant?
Yes. The flashing is manufactured from fire-retardant EPDM, making it safe to use around flues, chimneys, and other high-temperature roof penetrations.
How is it installed on a tiled roof?
Installation is straightforward.
The flashing cone is trimmed to the pipe size and fitted over the penetration. The aluminium base is then carefully shaped to follow the tile surface, before being sealed and fixed into position.
This ensures a watertight finish without needing to disturb large sections of the roof.
Will it cope with uneven roof surfaces?
Yes. The formable aluminium base is specifically designed for irregular surfaces.
It can be pressed into shape to match the contours of tiles, providing a reliable seal where flat flashings would struggle.
What pipe sizes does it cover?
The Vertical Tile Flash is available in a wide range of sizes, covering pipe diameters from approximately 50 mm up to 330 mm.
The stepped design allows the cone to be cut precisely to fit the required size.
How long will it last on a tiled roof?
With proper installation, the Vertical Tile Flash will provide many years of service.
The EPDM material is resistant to UV, ozone, and weathering, ensuring long-term performance even in exposed conditions.
Can it be used on both residential and commercial tiled roofs?
Yes. The Master Flash Vertical Tile Flash is suitable for tiled roofs on houses, commercial properties, and heritage buildings where a reliable seal is required around roof penetrations.
What if my pipe is at an angle?
The Vertical Tile Flash is designed primarily for vertical penetrations through tiled roofs.
For pipes installed at steeper angles, the Master Flash Extreme Angle may be a more suitable option.
