We are sure that the neo Fortecom® Rooflight will provide a high-quality finishing touch to your project. This guide is intended to assist building contractors and homeowners in receiving, handling and installing the neo Fortecom® Rooflight. Please take the time to read and carefully follow these instructions. Before you start your installation, please refer to the ‘IMPORTANT INFORMATION’ section at the back of this installation guide. GENERAL Please note: the minimum roof angle at which the neo Fortecom® Rooflight can be installed is 20 degrees. Please note: the maximum roof angle at which the neo Fortecom® Rooflight can be installed is 70 degrees. Please note: the following installation details pertain to COLD ROOF construction and SLATE tile type , with use of the flashing kit. Some installation details may vary depending on the roof construction and tile type being used. Always view this manual in conjunction with the cross sectional installation details relevant to your project. See Section 8 (Pages 25,26 &27) ‘Suggested installation details’ towards the back of this manual. In order to install the neo Fortecom® Rooflight you will need to know: 1.The neo Fortecom® model to be installed. 2. The type of roof construction to be used, e.g. warm roof or cold roof. 3. The type of roof tile to be used, e.g. clay tiles, slate, interlocking tile, pantile, zinc or lead sheet, etc. 4. Whether you wish to install ‘on the rafter’ or ‘between the rafter’ TEXT- Highlighted in BOLD indicates a point of special importance. PPE NOTE The images in this manual are intended to aid installation and where required the installer must use suitable PPE (which may not be shown) and abide by the applicable Health & Safety requirements. It is assumed that suitable method statements and risk assessments will be undertaken prior to installation. NOTE: PRESSURISED GAS SPRINGS Please be aware that some of the neo Fortecom® Rooflight ’s utilise gas springs to aid opening the roof window, depending on the model. If the connection at the cill is disengaged then the casement may gradually start to open. 2 SECTION 1 - How to use this manual > Contents q CONTENTS q SECTION 1 - How to use this manual 2 SECTION 2 - Prior to installation 4 SECTION 3 - Structural opening sizes 5 SECTION 4 - Preparing the roof 7 SECTION 5 - Installing the roof window 16 SECTION 6 - Suggested installation details 24 SECTION 7 - Important Information 28 PAGE 3 SECTION 2 - Prior to installation > Receiving the roof window > Transport & storage SINGLE ROOF WINDOW AS DELIVERED recyclable cardboard packing RECEIVING THE ROOF WINDOW We recommend that the roof window packaging is temporarily opened to allow inspection of the goods for damage. Follow the instructions on the delivery checking and advice label. u Once the roof window has been checked, repackage it in the original packaging for safe storage until the roof window is to be installed. product ID & transport information delivery & checking advice TRANSPORT & STORAGE u Keep the roof window in its original packaging and store off the ground in a secure covered dry place until it is required for installation. u When transporting the roof window in its box, carry the box by lifting it from the underside rather than lifting by its strapping. Only carry the box if the banding is attached in its original condition. Do not carry by the box if the nylon banding has been cut or appears in any way damaged. u Stack multiple units carefully and only as many units high as is set out on the transport information label on the box. u Only remove the roof window from its packaging when it is required for installation. u Once unpacked carry the roof window by lifting it from the underside of the baseplate. u Mark the original box with the window number/location and keep all accessories and linings in the original box until they are required. When the installation is complete and all accessories/linings are used, recycle all of the packaging materials. store in a covered dry secure area 4 do not stack too high or allow to get wet SECTION 3 - Structural opening sizes > Type of roof Before you can derive the structural framing dimensions you will need to understand which of the following options apply to your project: ON THE RAFTER OR BETWEEN THE RAFTER The type of tiles used affects how the roof window is installed. One of the following options will be used: On the Rafter (Standard Installation): This installation (as the name suggests) installs the roof window with it sitting on top of the rafters. For the majority of profiled tiles (Clay, Pantile etc) the roof window remains flush to the top of the tiles and will not project above the finished roof line. For thinner tile types (Slate) the roof window will not be flush and will project above the finished roof line. If a flush detail is required for thin tile types then a ‘between the rafter’ (commonly referred to as Flush Slate) installation is required. Between the rafter (Flush Slate Installation): When tile types are thinner and a standard ‘on the rafter’ installation would result in a non-flush installation; a ‘between the rafter’ installation can be used. The roof window is sunk in between the rafters to a depth equal to the height that it would protrude above the finished roof line if a standard installation was used, nominally to a sunk depth of 20mm (Installers are advised to check this dimension prior to installation). Due to the roof window being sunk below the top of the rafters, the associated structural framing sizes increase. Likewise, dependent upon the pitch of the roof, the run-off required at the cill tilting fillet may vary. Nominally quoted framing sizes use the lowest installation pitch and calculate for worst case scenario. WARM OR COLD ROOF CONSTRUCTION TYPE str op uctu en ral ing Cold roof Warm roof In a cold roof construction, the insulation layer is placed horizontally, directly above the ceiling of the upper story of the habitable section of the building, usually positioned between the joists in the loft space. str op uctu en ral ing In a warm roof construction, the insulation is positioned directly under the external waterproofing (e.g. tiles or slates), following the rafter line. 110 MAX INSTALLATION HEIGHT The maximum height that can be used with the flashing kit is 110mm for all tile types. This is measured from the top of the soaker extrusion (part 6) to the top of the structural support (as shown). If your tiles are thicker than this then we recommend the use of lead soakers or mortar bed at the jambs. 5 SECTION SECTION99 3- Structural - Description opening sizes ® > Receiving>the Operation roof window detail > Transport & storage TILE TYPE: SLATE AND CLAY TILES To derive the structural framing dimensions for neo Fortecom® Rooflight, you will need to have the following information to hand: u The neo Fortecom® Rooflight model reference number to be installed. u The type of roof construction to be used e.g. cold or warm.

There are two main tasks to be undertaken to provide an opening in the roof and structural supports for neo Fortecom® rooflight. 1. 2. Forming the Structural Opening. Installing the Structural Bearers. u The first task undertaken in all installations, whether to a new or existing roof, is formation of a structural opening. Go to page 8 u The second task is installation of structural bearers within the formed structural opening. Go to page 10 Ply linings: Cold roof - Ply linings are required between the structural supports and structural bearers in all cold roof installations. See section ‘Suggested installation details’ in this manual. Warm roof - Ply linings are required to be fixed outside the structural bearers in all warm roof installations. See section ‘Suggested installation details’ in this manual. 1. Forming the structural opening go to page 8 2. Installing the structural bearers go to page 10 7 ® SECTION SECTION99 4 - Preparing - Description the roof ® > Receiving>the Operation roof window detail > Transport & storage FORMING THE STRUCTURAL OPENING The opening is formed using additional structural members which re-route the structural loads from the roof above, around the structural opening. NOTE: All structural member sizing and fixings around the structural opening are to be as detailed by the project architect/structural engineer. Our drawings are indicative only. neo Fortecom® Rooflight- in a new roof trimmed rafter neo Fortecom®Rooflight - in an existing roof trimming rafters clear structural width trimming rafters In a new roof the structural members can be designed to reduce the necessity for cutting and trimming.

NOTE: The rafters and trimmers are doubled up in the image SECTION 4 - Preparing the roof SECTION99 - Description > Type of roof > Operation detail HEIGHT OF THE STRUCTURAL BEARERS The intention of this installation guide is to achieve an installation of neo Fortecom® Rooflight that presents the glazing nominally flush to the general level of the top of the roofing material. Such an install achieves the inconspicuous appearance characteristic of neo Fortecom® Rooflight. It is most important that installers read and apply the contents of this section. INSTALLING THE STRUCTURAL BEARERS In all installations neo Fortecom® Rooflight sits on structural bearers once installed. The positioning of the structural bearers is dependant on: u Roof type (e.g. cold or warm roof ) u Roof finish (e.g. slate, clay tile etc) For flush installation the top of the structural bearers needs to be located 110mm below the general line of the roof finish. For cold roof installation the structural bearers need to be 100mm minimum height in order to accommodate the roof window baseplate within the roof cavity. Please see the worked examples below. Cold roof general line of the roof finish Warm roof general line of roof finish 110mm WBP or marine ply lining A C A 110mm B 100mm MIN structural bearers structural bearers WBP or marine ply lining Section at jamb Section at jamb COLD ROOF (A) Thickness of roof finish (this is the dimension from the top of the structural supports to the general line of the roof finish) (B) The depth the bearers sit below the structural member WARM ROOF (A) Thickness of roof finish (this is the dimension from the top of the structural supports to the general line of the roof finish) (C) The height the bearers sit above the structural member In this example A = 50mm (25mm batten + 25mm slate) The top surface of the bearers is required to be 110mm below the general line of the roof finish. In this example A = 175mm (100mm insulation + 25mm counter batten + 25mm batten + 25mm slate) The top surface of the bearers is required to be 110mm below the general line of the roof finish. Where: C = A - 110 Therefore: C = 175 – 110 C = 65mm (in this example) Where: Therefore: B = 110 – A B = 110 – 50 B = 60mm (in this example) 9 ® SECTION 4 - Preparing the roof > Type of installation INSTALLING THE STRUCTURAL BEARERS - JAMBS AND HEAD Once the fixing height of the structural bearers is derived they can be fixed to the main structural supports. COLD ROOF: The structural bearers at the HEAD and JAMBS of the structural opening are to be two 50mm wide timber members. JAMB structural members bearers extend continuously from head to cill and the HEAD structural bearers are cut to fit within the jamb structural bearers. We recommend use of threaded rod fixings with large recessed washers and locknuts as shown below. Locating fixings at centres as specified by the project Structural Engineer. WARM ROOF: The structural bearers at the HEAD and JAMBS of the structural opening are to be 100mm wide and fixed directly on top of the structural support and trimming rafters. JAMB structural members bearers extend continuously from head to cill and the HEAD structural bearers are cut to fit within the jamb structural bearers as shown below. Fixing type and spacing to as specified by the project Structural Engineer. Cold Roof Jamb & Head Warm Roof Jamb & Head 1. 2. 3. COLD ROOF On ‘thin’ roof constructions such as cold roof, neo Fortecom® rooflight’s are installed between the structural supporting rafters. WARM ROOF On ‘thicker ‘ roof constructions such as warm roof, neo Fortecom® Rooflight’s are installed on top of the structural supporting rafters. The structural bearers should be strongly fixed to their flanking structural supports (see note above). The structural bearers require to be strongly screwed down onto the structural supports. For larger neo Fortecom® rooflights consider using stainless steel brackets in addition to screw fixings. Fixing components: 1. locknut 2. threaded bar 3. washer 10 1. 1. screw fixings as specified by projects Structural Engineer SECTION 4 - Preparing the roof > Forming the structural opening INSTALLING THE STRUCTURAL BEARERS - CILL Structural bearers at the cill of the structural opening vary in position according to the roof covering type and roof construction method adopted. This is because differing roof tile types / roof constructions have different requirements in respect of the length of runoff at the roof window cill in order to maintain adequate weathering capabilities. Fix the structural bearers to the cill of the structural opening in accordance with either the suggested installation details in section ‘Suggested installation details’ in this manual or a project-specific detail supplied by the project architect. NOTE: For large neo Fortecom® rooflights, the rotational loads placed upon the structural supports in cold roof installations may require stabilisation with strutting or sheathing. Refer the suggested framing details appropriate to the roof type and finish, together with the roof window weight (see section ’Important information’ in this manual) to a Structural Engineer for checking. Cold Roof cill structural bearer Jamb & Cill Warm Roof cill runoff support members Jamb & Cill cill structural bearer jamb structural bearer trimming rafters jack bearer insulation infill consider using steel fixing brackets here when jack bearers are used. trimming rafters COLD ROOF WARM ROOF On ‘thinner’ roof constructions such as cold roof, neo Fortecom® Rooflight’s are installed between the structural support rafters. On ‘thicker’ roof constructions such as warm roof, neo Fortecom® Rooflight’s, are installed on top of the structural supporting rafters. The cill structural bearers are located within the structural opening and the cill runoff supporting members are generally located within the structural length. The cill structural bearer is located on top of the structural support members and the cill runoff supporting members are generally located outwith the structural length.

Its purpose is to support the cill flashing and flashing substrate. Note: Details shown here are for COLD ROOF construction. See section ‘suggested installation details’ in this manual for appropriate WARM ROOF detail. q Roofing Membrane 12 Cill tilting fillet Tilting fillet SECTION 4 - Preparing the roof > Head tilting fillet > Trim & finish the roofing membrane Tilting fillet p Head tilting fillet Install a cill tilting fillet as shown (we recommend hardwood or treated softwood). Fix the cill tilting fillet to the rafters. Fold and trim the roofing membrane around the structural opening as shown. q Trim & finish the roofing membrane Roofing membrane A A Section B-B Roofing membrane 13 SECTION 4 - Preparing the roof > Roofing membrane tray > Cill flashing substrate Roofing membrane tray p Roofing membrane tray Install a roofing membrane tray at the cill of the opening as shown. The membrane tray is to pass over the cill tilting fillet and terminate over the general roofing membrane. Install a 15mm thick WBP or marine-quality ply flashing substrate at the cill of the opening as shown. It is to be installed over the membrane tray shown above and of sufficient length to ensure that the cill flashing finishes at the height of the cill rooftiles. Ensure a 5mm MIN gap between the 2 halves of the substrate. q Cill flashing substrate Ply flashing substrate 14 SECTION 4- Preparing the roof > Battening up the cill > Battening up the jambs p Battening up the cill It is recommended that the roof is battened up to the cill of the opening, at this stage. Ensure that the roofing membrane tray which was previously fitted is located underneath the battens. Batten spacing is determined by the roof covering being used. Adjust the battening and tiling to course and fit around the structural opening. When battening around the opening the battens at the jambs are to come up to the outside faces of the structural opening (COLD ROOF) as shown. Whilst installing these make sure that the ends of the battens are only ‘tacked’ in place at this stage. This is to ensure the roof window is weathered in correctly at a later stage of the installation. q Battening up the jambs 15 SECTION 5 - Installing the roof window > Lead cill flashing > Installing the roof window Lead flashing p Lead cill flashing Install a code 3-5 lead flashing (depending upon the weather exposure) to the cill of the opening as shown. Side lap to be minimum 150mm. Length of flashing to be sufficient to give the tile-recommended headlap. Lay a continuous thick bead of low-modulus neutral cure silicone along the flashing. 16 Lift the roof window into the opening being careful NOT to pick the roof window up by the perimeter extrusion or cill flashing. If your roof window model has a motorised configuration, be sure to allow enough room the cill of the roof window for the cable to escape the frame without becoming trapped or over-twisted. q Installing the roof window SECTION 5 - Installing the roof window > Fix > Perimeter silicone fillet Washer Spring washer Coach screws p Fix Locate all of the fixing points at the perimeter of the roof window. Drill pilot holes and fix the coach screws with a large flat washer and a spring washer throught and into the structural support. ONLY TIGHTEN THE COACH SCREWS UNTIL THE SPRING WASHER HAS FLATTENED OUT. OVER TIGHTENING OF THE COACH SCREWS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ROOF WINDOW FRAME, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO PACK BEHIND THE FIXING RAIL. Ensure an even number of coach screws are used across each jamb. Install a thick continuouse fillet of low-modulus neutral cure silicone to the full length and width of the jambs and head of the roof window perimeter. q Perimeter silicone fillet 17 SECTION 5- Installing the roof window > Trimming the jamb flashing extrusion > Installing the jamb flashing “Snap” NOTE: The positions for the guide notches were derived from a number of typical roof tiles and roof constructions. Depending on the roof make-up specific to the project. It may be necessary to trim the jamb flashing to a height not specified. p Trimming the jamb flashing extrusion Lay the jamb flashing down on a clean and dry surface. Fold back the foam and use a sharp stanley knife to firmly score along the entire length of the extrusion several times. Then break off the excess extrusion. Orientate the jamb flashing over the jamb extrusion as shown in image A. Grasp the extrusion in the middle and pull the flashing back toward the roof window slowly until it clicks (image B). Next push the flashing back outward toward the battens to engage the flashing onto the extrusion (image C). q Installing the jamb flashing Image C 18 IC ‘C L Image B K’ Image A NOTE: The excess felt attached to the jamb flashing should be positioned toward the head of the roof window as shown. If the excess felt meets the next lap in the general roofing membrane, ensure it is tucked into this lap. Jamb flashing SECTION 5 - Installing the roof window > Installing the head flashing > Installing the head roofing membrane NOTE: If this meets the next lap of the general roofing membrane, ensure it is tucked under the lap as shown. Head flashing p Install the head flashing The felt attached to the jamb flashings should go OVER the general roofing membrane but UNDER the battens which may be in place. Repeat for the opposing side. Next, lay the head flashing over the head fillet. Fold, boss and tuck the flashing back into the baseplate rollover. There may be a requirement to trim the head flashing around the jamb battens depending upon their positioning Lay the strip of roofing felt over the head flashing and ensure it tucks UNDER the next lap in the general roofing membrane. q Installing the head roofing membrane Head roofing membrane 19 SECTION 5 - Installing the roof window > Weathering KEY p Roofing felt (Part 10): Installed above, Head Lead replacement flashing (Part 9): Installed above, Jamb flashing/ apron (Part 6) Weathering The combination of the head flashing and the roofing felt being lapped in this way, ensures moisture will run up and over the tilting fillet, onto the baseplate and finally off the roof. Before continuing the installation, verify that the roofing felt and flashings are correctly installed. After this point, the roof will need to be stripped-back to make any amendments. q 20 Weathering SECTION 5 - Installing the roof window > Soakers > Tile the jambs Soaker p Soakers When laying the second course of tiles at the jambs, soakers are required; one per jamb. Lay the soaker flashing over the edge of the cill corner and form the soaker, ensuring it tucks BEHIND the jamb flashing extrusion as shown. Use the edge of the jamb flashing as a guide to tile up to and tile the jambs. Ensure the weathering foam attached to the jamb flashings is folded down and away from the roof window when laying the tiles. q Tile the jambs 21 SECTION 5 - Installing the roof window > Complete the tiling > Installing the head and cill timber linings p Complete the tiling The head of the roof window can now be tiled. We recommend the use of eaves tiles. Complete the tiling around the head of the roof window accordingly. Install the cill and head linings as shown. Orientate the lining with the fixing holes aligned to the securing brackets located in the roof window baseplate recess. (as shown by the dashed line in the below image). Secure in place using screws provided. Cover the screw heads by inserting the timber plugs until flush to the surface of the lining. q Head timber lining Cill timber lining 22 Installing the head and cill timber linings SECTION 5- Installing the roof window > Installing the jamb timber linings > Drawing identification Jamb timber lining p Installing the jamb timber linings Install the jamb linings as shown.
