goodbyegti Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Hopefully a simple one. I have Velux to fit, sized perfectly to fit between the rafters if I cut one in the middle. All very standard. However, the annoying thing is that the clay pantiles don't line up evenly with the flashing. So I am thinking that I should cut two rafters to get the window in exactly the right place. Its either that, or I have to cut the pantiles. Does that seem sensible? I'll be doubling up the rafters on either side and the trimmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodbyegti Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 Rafters are 400 centres, approx 3.2m from wall plate to ridge beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodbyegti Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 (edited) Basically this image from the Facro guide, but two rafters cut instead of one. And everything doubled up, bolted etc. All to get the pantiles aligned like in the pics. If I don't cut the second rafter, I'm about half a pantile out of alignment.

goodbyegti Posted September 27 Author Share Posted September 27 Thanks both. Tile and a half makes good sense if you could get one. I hadn't thought of that. I think I'll cut the two rafters and get the tiles lined up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
