SOLITEX WELDANO 3000
Sealing at skylights
1.
Cut SOLITEX WELDANO-S 3000 to shape allowing excess at the sides, cut out holes for the mounting brackets and put in place at the bottom of the skylight.

2.
Cut a length of roof batten so that its ends are at the outer edges of the mounting brackets and the corner areas remain free. Put the roof batten in place to determine the shape/position of the strip of SOLITEX WELDANO-S 3000.
