Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sheet flashing member for a roof penetrating structure, comprising a first flange intended to be arranged at least partially in proximity with and substantially in parallel with the roof surface in a mounted position of the sheet flashing member, a second flange intended to be arranged against the roof penetrating structure in said mounted position, said first flange having a first edge portion and a second edge portion, said second edge portion forming the connecting line with said second flange.
- the invention furthermore relates to a kit of sheet flashing members.
- flashing roof penetrating building structures for example chimneys or fame structures for roof windows
- flashing covers of sheet metal, for instance aluminium, copper, steel or zinc.
- flashing covers have been manufactured by ordinary tin man work from a plane sheet material which is profiled and formed to make a fit at the desired location.
- a flashing assembly adapted to be used between, for example, a roof window and a sloping roof surface comprises upper and lower flashing members adapted to be mounted in a horizontal position between the upper and lower frame portions of the window and the roof surface, respectively, as well as first and second side flashing members adapted to be mounted in a sloping position between the two side frame portions of the window and the roof surface, respectively.
- Such a flashing assembly further comprises corner segments adapted to provide a seal between the side flashings and the upper and lower flashings, such corner segments often being integrated in either the upper and lower flashing members or the side flashing members.
- side flashing members are normally formed as gutter-like members with a first flange adapted to be mounted on the window frame and a second flange adapted to be mounted under the roof covering.
- the gutter then directs the water downwards.
- flashing members are not "standard" as they are dependent upon, for example, whether a single window is mounted in a roof surface or two or more windows are mounted in neighbouring relationship.
- special flashing members are used to provide a seal between two neighbouring windows, which may be either entire flashing members adapted to span the width between two windows, side flashing members which are adapted to be connected directly to each other, or it may be additional flashing members which are adapted to create a seal between two neighbouring side flashing members.
- DK-B 154 099 discloses an arrangement comprising a flashing element specifically adapted for connecting two neighbouring side flashing members.
- the connecting flashing element allows two flashing elements with substantially the same profile to be connected, such that substantially identical first and second side flashing members can be used for a given flashing assembly.
- this arrangement is not standardized, as the connecting flashing element must be produced and stored in different dimensions according to the distance between juxtaposed windows.
- the provision of an extra element increases the overall costs of the flashing arrangement and complicates the mounting.
- WO 94/00655 discloses a flashing arrangement, in which the flashing elements at the top and side members of the window frame are made of profiles of an elastically deformable material. Each profile has a substantially U-shaped cross-section including a bottom face bordered by one side flange to be arranged against the window frame member and another side flange that is placed in sealing abutment with the underside of the surrounding roofing.
- the adjacent flashing elements in that the other side flange of each flashing element is cut off and the flashing elements are subsequently connected with each other by inserting the remaining part of the bottom face of one flashing element under a coupling flange on the other flashing element.
- the elastic deformability of the flashing elements makes it possible to wrap the flashing elements up over the window frame structure during packing and shipping, and furthermore to provide a good sealing abutment with the underside of the roofing, such flashing elements are not suitable for all installation purposes.
- such elastically deformable flashings that are made from e.g. rubber or thermoplastic elastomers are more vulnerable to extreme weather, e.g. very large temperature differences and strong wind, as there is a possible risk that the flashing is brought to flutter.
- a sheet flashing member of the kind mentioned in the introduction which is furthermore characterized in that said sheet flashing member comprises a substantially inelastic material, and that said first flange includes at least one detachment indication between the first and second edge portions, such that the part of the first flange between the indication and the first edge portion may be detached from the remaining part of the flashing member.
- one and the same sheet flashing member may be used regardless of whether it is to be used in connection with a single roof penetrating structure or roof penetrating structures installed side-by-side.
- the sheet flashing member may be adapted to the installation situation without any risk of cutting the flange at an inappropriate place thus possibly making the entire flashing member completely unusable, as the width of the flange is not sufficient.
- Each indication may be a visual indication in the shape of at least one longitudinally extending line or a longitudinally extending row of dots, short sections etc. This provides for a good guidance to the installer that is able to follow the indication during the cutting or shearing of the flange. Furthermore, such a visual indication does not at all affect the performance of the flashing member during the mounting or in the mounted position.
- the indication may also comprise at least one' weakening section.
- the shearing or cutting is facilitated, and it may even be possible for the installer by hand-force only to fold the flange back and forth around the weakening section in order to detach the part lying beyond the indication, i.e. separating the flashing member into two pieces, one of which is intended to be used in the flashing assembly, whereas the other one may be discarded or used for other purposes.
- Each such weakening section may be formed as a notch having a depth not exceeding a major part of the thickness of the first flange. This provides for a particularly easy production.
- a structure including one or more notches may be provided, which notches can in turn be placed either above each other or slightly displaced in relation to each other in one side of the flange, or the underside and the upper side of the first flange may both be provided with notches.
- Each weakening section may comprise a longitudinally extending cord member accommodated in the first flange.
- the sheet flashing member of this embodiment is somewhat more complicated to produce, it is particularly easy to adapt to the appropriate installation situation by a simple pull in the cord member.
- the cord member is embossed into the underside or the upper side of the first flange.
- the indication or indications may extend substantially in parallel with the second edge portion of the first flange.
- Engagement means may be provided in order to secure a reliable and easily achieved connection with adjacent sheet flashing members.
- These engagement means may comprise an upstanding flange section at the first edge portion of the first flange, and preferably an upstanding rib structure at a position between the first and second edge portion, which' provides for a particularly easy mounting of adjacent sheet members.
- the engagement means may comprise a protruding flange section extending at an angle with respect to said upstanding flange section in the direction towards the second flange of the sheet flashing member, and the second flange may be provided with a hollow rib structure.
- a flashing kit comprising two sheet flashing members.
- the kit is characterized in that a first sheet flashing member is intended to be arranged against a side member of the roof penetrating structure, and a second sheet flashing member is intended to be arranged against an opposite side member of the same roof penetrating structure, or against the adjacent side member of a neighbouring roof penetrating structure.
- the roof penetrating structure may be built-in as a single unit and other roof penetrating structures may subsequently or at the same time be built-in adjacent the first roof penetrating structure, without the need for replacing the flashing of the first structure with a specially designed flashing system.
- This entails, i.a., that the decision of whether or not to build e.g. two adjacent roof penetrating structures in a roof does not have to be taken at the moment of investing in a single unit, as further units may be built-in subsequently at a later stage, i.e. totally independently of the first unit.
- the first and second sheet flashing members may be substantially symmetrical to each other.
- first and second sheet flashing members may be substantially asymmetrical with respect to each other.
- the asymmetry may consist in that the first flange of the first sheet flashing member has a different configuration than the first flange of the second sheet flashing member.

- the two sheet flashing members 1 and 11 may be substantially symmetrical as suggested in Figs. 1 and 2 , but may as well have mutually different configuration, in particular with respect to the design of the first flange.
- the kit may furthermore form part of an entire flashing system that may be provided separately or in connection with a roof penetrating structure such as a roof window.
- the sheet flashing members of one kit may be used when flashing a single roof penetrating structure or in connection with neighbouring roof penetrating structures such as roof window built-in side by side.
- the sheet flashing members 1 and 11 are adapted, if necessary, and connected with e.g. the adjacent side members of the two neighbouring windows.
- the first flange 2, 12 is provided with a detachment indication 6, 16.
- the detachment indication 6, 16 may be a solely visual indication such as the shown longitudinally extending line, or a row of dots, short line sections etc. As will be described in detail in the following, such an indication may also comprise a weakening section. Likewise, it is possible to have more than one detachment indication on each first flange, thus providing for an even broader range of installation situations.
- the sheet flashing member 11 has been adapted by cutting, shearing or in any other suitable manner along the indication 16 and subsequently removing the part of the sheet flashing member 11 that is situated between the indication 16 and the first edge portion 14.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a sheet flashing member for a roof penetrating structure, comprising a first flange intended to be arranged at least partially in proximity with and substantially in parallel with the roof surface in a mounted position of the sheet flashing member, a second flange intended to be arranged against the roof penetrating structure in said mounted position, said first flange having a first edge portion and a second edge portion, said second edge portion forming the connecting line with said second flange. The invention furthermore relates to a kit of sheet flashing members.
- When flashing roof penetrating building structures, for example chimneys or fame structures for roof windows, in order to protect them from the weather and to provide a seal between the structure itself and the roof, it is common to use flashing covers of sheet metal, for instance aluminium, copper, steel or zinc. Conventionally, such flashing covers have been manufactured by ordinary tin man work from a plane sheet material which is profiled and formed to make a fit at the desired location.
- The comparatively costly adjustment and assembly work on location, which is required when using this conventional craftsmanship, may be avoided by use of pre-manufactured flashing members. When these flashing members are used with, for example, a standard window type mounted in a given roof surface, it is possible to use the same "standard" flashing members regardless of, for example, the slope of an inclined roof surface.
- Typically, a flashing assembly adapted to be used between, for example, a roof window and a sloping roof surface comprises upper and lower flashing members adapted to be mounted in a horizontal position between the upper and lower frame portions of the window and the roof surface, respectively, as well as first and second side flashing members adapted to be mounted in a sloping position between the two side frame portions of the window and the roof surface, respectively. Such a flashing assembly further comprises corner segments adapted to provide a seal between the side flashings and the upper and lower flashings, such corner segments often being integrated in either the upper and lower flashing members or the side flashing members.
- To present water from entering under the roof surface, side flashing members are normally formed as gutter-like members with a first flange adapted to be mounted on the window frame and a second flange adapted to be mounted under the roof covering. When the side flashing member is mounted with a slope, the gutter then directs the water downwards.
- However, some type of flashing members are not "standard" as they are dependent upon, for example, whether a single window is mounted in a roof surface or two or more windows are mounted in neighbouring relationship. In this case special flashing members are used to provide a seal between two neighbouring windows, which may be either entire flashing members adapted to span the width between two windows, side flashing members which are adapted to be connected directly to each other, or it may be additional flashing members which are adapted to create a seal between two neighbouring side flashing members.
-
DK-B 154 099 -
WO 94/00655 - With this background it is an object of the present invention to provide a sheet flashing member, which provides for a standardized and cost-optimised production, which may easily be adapted to different installation situations and in which the risk of incorrect mounting and insufficient sealing between the roof penetrating structure and the surrounding roofing is substantially reduced.
- This and further objects are met by the provision of a sheet flashing member of the kind mentioned in the introduction, which is furthermore characterized in that said sheet flashing member comprises a substantially inelastic material, and that said first flange includes at least one detachment indication between the first and second edge portions, such that the part of the first flange between the indication and the first edge portion may be detached from the remaining part of the flashing member.
- By providing the flange with such an indication, one and the same sheet flashing member may be used regardless of whether it is to be used in connection with a single roof penetrating structure or roof penetrating structures installed side-by-side. The sheet flashing member may be adapted to the installation situation without any risk of cutting the flange at an inappropriate place thus possibly making the entire flashing member completely unusable, as the width of the flange is not sufficient.
- Each indication may be a visual indication in the shape of at least one longitudinally extending line or a longitudinally extending row of dots, short sections etc. This provides for a good guidance to the installer that is able to follow the indication during the cutting or shearing of the flange. Furthermore, such a visual indication does not at all affect the performance of the flashing member during the mounting or in the mounted position.
- The indication may also comprise at least one' weakening section. By this embodiment, the shearing or cutting is facilitated, and it may even be possible for the installer by hand-force only to fold the flange back and forth around the weakening section in order to detach the part lying beyond the indication, i.e. separating the flashing member into two pieces, one of which is intended to be used in the flashing assembly, whereas the other one may be discarded or used for other purposes.
- Each such weakening section may be formed as a notch having a depth not exceeding a major part of the thickness of the first flange. This provides for a particularly easy production.
- A structure including one or more notches may be provided, which notches can in turn be placed either above each other or slightly displaced in relation to each other in one side of the flange, or the underside and the upper side of the first flange may both be provided with notches.
- Each weakening section may comprise a longitudinally extending cord member accommodated in the first flange. Although the sheet flashing member of this embodiment is somewhat more complicated to produce, it is particularly easy to adapt to the appropriate installation situation by a simple pull in the cord member.
- Preferably, the cord member is embossed into the underside or the upper side of the first flange.
- The indication or indications may extend substantially in parallel with the second edge portion of the first flange.
- Engagement means may be provided in order to secure a reliable and easily achieved connection with adjacent sheet flashing members.
- These engagement means may comprise an upstanding flange section at the first edge portion of the first flange, and preferably an upstanding rib structure at a position between the first and second edge portion, which' provides for a particularly easy mounting of adjacent sheet members.
- The engagement means may comprise a protruding flange section extending at an angle with respect to said upstanding flange section in the direction towards the second flange of the sheet flashing member, and the second flange may be provided with a hollow rib structure.
- In another aspect of the invention, a flashing kit comprising two sheet flashing members is provided. The kit is characterized in that a first sheet flashing member is intended to be arranged against a side member of the roof penetrating structure, and a second sheet flashing member is intended to be arranged against an opposite side member of the same roof penetrating structure, or against the adjacent side member of a neighbouring roof penetrating structure.
- Thus, the roof penetrating structure may be built-in as a single unit and other roof penetrating structures may subsequently or at the same time be built-in adjacent the first roof penetrating structure, without the need for replacing the flashing of the first structure with a specially designed flashing system. This entails, i.a., that the decision of whether or not to build e.g. two adjacent roof penetrating structures in a roof does not have to be taken at the moment of investing in a single unit, as further units may be built-in subsequently at a later stage, i.e. totally independently of the first unit.
- The first and second sheet flashing members may be substantially symmetrical to each other.
- Alternatively, the first and second sheet flashing members may be substantially asymmetrical with respect to each other. In particular, the asymmetry may consist in that the first flange of the first sheet flashing member has a different configuration than the first flange of the second sheet flashing member.
- In the case, in which the flashing kit comprises two sheet flashing members each having an upstanding rib structure at a position between the first and second edge portion, the upstanding rib structure of the first sheet flashing member may have a larger width and height than the upstanding rib structure of the second sheet flashing member.

Figs. 25 to 29 show partial perspective views at a larger scale of a flashing member according to further embodiments of the invention, and -
Figs. 30 to 32 show perspective views of three different configurations of different roof penetrating structures. - The sheet flashing member shown in
Fig. 1 and generally designated 1 comprises afirst flange 2 to be arranged in proximity with and substantially in parallel with the roof surface and a second flange 3 to be arranged against the roof penetrating structure. In this respect it is noted that the term 'parallel' is intended to embrace some deviations from the exact angle value. Thefirst flange 2 is delimited by a first edge portion 4 and a second edge portion 5, the second edge portion 5 forming the connecting line with the second flange 3. Thesheet flashing member 1 comprises any substantially inelastic material that is suitable for roof flashing purposes, a typical example being sheet metal. The flashing member may be manufactured from any material other than metal, having substantially the same technical properties, examples being hard PVC, reinforced resin, composite materials etc. - The
sheet flashing member 1 may form part of a kit of flashing members comprising two such members, of which the other sheet flashing member 11 is shown inFig. 2 . The twosheet flashing members 1 and 11 may be substantially symmetrical as suggested inFigs. 1 and 2 , but may as well have mutually different configuration, in particular with respect to the design of the first flange. The kit may furthermore form part of an entire flashing system that may be provided separately or in connection with a roof penetrating structure such as a roof window. The sheet flashing members of one kit may be used when flashing a single roof penetrating structure or in connection with neighbouring roof penetrating structures such as roof window built-in side by side. - In the case in which two such roof windows are built-in, the
sheet flashing members 1 and 11 are adapted, if necessary, and connected with e.g. the adjacent side members of the two neighbouring windows. In order to enable such an adaptation, thefirst flange detachment indication 6, 16. Thedetachment indication 6, 16 may be a solely visual indication such as the shown longitudinally extending line, or a row of dots, short line sections etc. As will be described in detail in the following, such an indication may also comprise a weakening section. Likewise, it is possible to have more than one detachment indication on each first flange, thus providing for an even broader range of installation situations. - In the installation situation shown in
Fig. 3 , the sheet flashing member 11 has been adapted by cutting, shearing or in any other suitable manner along theindication 16 and subsequently removing the part of the sheet flashing member 11 that is situated between theindication 16 and thefirst edge portion 14. The flashingmembers 1 and 11 may be connected with each other by using traditional sealing techniques such as e.g. by applying an adhesive sealing strip to thefirst flange 2 of the lowersheet flashing member 1 before installing the upper sheet flashing member 11. - In the embodiment shown in
Fig. 4 , thesheet flashing member 21 comprises engagement means in the form of anupstanding flange section 27 formed at the first edge portion 24 of thefirst flange 22. The sheet flashing member 31 shown inFig. 5 has, as suggested, a different configuration than thesheet flashing member 21 in that thefirst flange 32 has a larger extent in the width direction than the correspondingfirst flange 22. In an installation situation, in which thesheet flashing member 21 is already mounted on a roof penetrating structure, the sheet flashing member 31 may be adapted as described in the above by cutting etc. along theindication 36. In the position shown inFig. 6 , theupstanding flange section 27 of the lowersheet flashing member 21 may be connected with the outer side of thesecond flange 33 of the upper sheet flashing member 31, in addition to or as an alternative to the sealing means described in connection withFig. 3 . - In the embodiment shown in
Fig. 7 the engagement means comprise, in addition to the upstanding flange section 47 a protruding flange section 47a extending at an angle with respect to, in the embodiment shown at substantially right angles to, theupstanding flange section 47 in the direction towards the second flange 43 of thesheet flashing member 41. The second flange 43 is provided with ahollow rib structure 48 that is open towards the outer side of the second flange 43. Thesheet flashing member 51 ofFig. 8 is formed in substantially the same manner, and in the installation situation shown inFig. 9 , thesheet flashing member 51 has been adapted by cutting etc. along the indication 56. As is readily apparent fromFig. 9 , the protruding flange section 47a is brought into engagement with thehollow rib structure 58 of thesheet flashing member 51. - In the embodiment of
Fig. 10 , thesheet flashing member 61 comprises further engagement means in the form of anupstanding rib structure 69 at a position between the first andsecond edge portions upstanding flange section 67. Furthermore, thesheet flashing member 61 according to this embodiment is provided with two detachment indications, viz. one indication 66a situated between theupstanding rib structure 69 and thesecond edge portion 65 and oneindication 66b situated between theupstanding rib structure 69 and thefirst edge portion 64. Thesheet flashing member 71 shown inFig. 11 has a different configuration in that theupstanding rib structure 79 has a larger width and height than theupstanding rib structure 69 of thesheet flashing member 61 shown inFig. 10 . - The
sheet flashing members Figs. 12 to 14 . - In the position shown in
Fig. 12 , thesheet flashing member 61 has been adapted by cutting along theindication 66b and has subsequently been placed on top of thesheet flashing member 71 such that theupstanding flange section 77 engages with theupstanding rib structure 69. - In the position shown in
Fig. 13 , thesheet flashing member 61 has been cut along theindication 66b as described in the above and thesheet flashing member 71 along theline 76b. Due to the fact that the dimensions of theupstanding rib structure 79 are somewhat larger than those of theupstanding rib structure 69, it is possible to press the uppersheet flashing member 71 into engagement with the lowersheet flashing member 61. - In the position shown in
Fig. 14 , thesheet flashing member 61 shown inFig. 10 is cut along the indication 66a, and is subsequently positioned on top of thesheet flashing member 71. The distance between thesecond edge portion 65 and the indication 66a may advantageously substantially correspond to the distance between theupstanding flange portion 77 and theupstanding rib structure 79 such that a secure engagement is ensured. - In the embodiment of
Fig. 15 , thesheet flashing member 161 comprises engagement means in the form of twoupstanding rib structures second edge portions hollow rib structure 161a and 161b on the second flange 163 and the firstupstanding rib structure 169a, respectively, in addition to theupstanding flange section 167. Furthermore, thesheet flashing member 161 according to this embodiment is provided with two detachment indications, viz. one indication 166a situated at the top of the firstupstanding rib structure 169a and one indication 166b situated between at the top of the secondupstanding rib structure 169b. Thesheet flashing member 171 shown inFig. 16 has a different configuration in that theupstanding rib structures 179a,179b each has a larger width and height than theupstanding rib structures sheet flashing member 161 shown inFig. 15 . - The
sheet flashing members Figs. 17 to 21 . - In the positions shown in
Figs. 17 and 18 , thesheet flashing member 171 is positioned on top of thesheet flashing member 161. In these installation situations, the roof penetrating structures are positioned at extraordinarily large distances from each other, and the flashingmembers - In the position shown in
Fig. 19 , thesheet flashing member 171 has been adapted by cutting along theindication 176b and has subsequently been placed on top of thesheet flashing member 161 such that the remaining portion of theupstanding flange section 179b engages with the hollow rib structure 161b of theupstanding rib structure 169a, and the upstanding rib structure 179a is placed on top ofupstanding rib structure 169b. - In the position shown in
Fig. 20 , thesheet flashing member 161 shown inFig. 15 is cut along the indication 166a, and thesheet flashing member 171 is cut along the indication 176a. Thesheet flashing member 171 is subsequently positioned on top of thesheet flashing member 161. - In the position shown in
Fig. 21 , thesheet flashing member 161 shown inFig. 15 is cut along the indication 166b, and thesheet flashing member 171 is cut along theindication 176b. Thesheet flashing member 171 is subsequently positioned on top of thesheet flashing member 161. - In an alternative embodiment of the sheet flashing member according to the invention and shown in
Fig. 22 , thefirst flange 182 of thesheet flashing member 181 extends obliquely from theedge portion 185 to the edge portion 184, the edge portion 184 being positioned substantially in parallel with the roof surface in the mounted position of the sheet flashing member. Thefirst flange 182 comprises aflange 187 and anupstanding rib structure 189, adetachment indication 186a being formed at therib structure 189. Thesheet flashing member 191 ofFig. 23 is designed in substantially the same manner. - In the position shown in
Fig. 24 , thesecond flange 183 of thesheet flashing member 181 is arranged against apiece 201 of a roof penetrating structure. Thesecond flange 193 of thesheet flashing member 191 is arranged against apiece 202 of another roof penetrating structure. Thefirst flanges sheet flashing members respective detachment indications 186a, 196a and subsequently, the first flanges have been brought into contact with each other to attain a substantially sealed connection by means of any suitable means. - Sealing means may comprise sealing strips, e.g. of a compressible material, optionally with a possibility of reducing the height of such a sealing strip. Examples of compressible materials are soft foam materials of polyurethane, polystyrene etc. Of course, sealing materials which incorporate adhesive properties such as bitumen or like materials may be used.
- In the following, different designs of the detachment indication will be described in connection with
Figs. 25 to 29 . - In order to facilitate the cutting or shearing operation when adapting one or both of the sheet flashing members, it may be advantageous to provide one or some of the indications with a weakening section.
- In the embodiment shown in
Fig. 25 such a weakening section is formed as anotch 86. In order not to weaken thefirst flange 82 of sheet flashing member to a larger extent than is necessary, thenotch 86 may have a depth not exceeding a major part of the thickness of thefirst flange 82. - The weakening section may be formed as a continuous section as described in
Fig. 25 , but may alternatively comprise a plurality of recessedsections 96 as shown inFig. 26 . - In the embodiment of
Fig. 27 , the underside and the upper side of thefirst flange 102 are both provided with anotch - In the embodiment of
Fig. 28 , a weakening section is provided in the form of a longitudinally extendingcord member 116 accommodated in thefirst flange 112. This corresponds in substance to the principle used in connection with e.g. cans for food, biscuit packages etc. As described in the above in connection with the embodiment ofFigs. 10 to 12 , there may be one or more cord members in different distances from thesecond flange 113. Thecord member 116 may as shown be embossed into the underside of thefirst flange 112 of the sheet flashing member 111 during manufacture of the sheet flashing member 111. The cord member may be formed from a different material than the flashing member in order to achieve extra strength, or may be formed by the same material as the sheet flashing member. - In the embodiment of
Fig. 29 , theindication 126 comprises a weakening section having a first portion in the form of a substantially circulargripping tab 126a and alongitudinally extending portion 126b. In case thesheet flashing member 121 is to be adapted in order to conform to the installation situation, the grippingtab 126a is pressed out from the remaining part of thefirst flange 112. By pulling thegripping tab 126a in the direction of thelongitudinally extending portion 126b, the part of thesheet flashing member 121 to the right of theindication 126 may be detached from the remaining part. - In
Figs. 30 to 32 , different configurations of roof penetrating structures are shown diagrammatically. - In
Fig. 30 , a singleroof penetrating structure 301 is built-in. Theroof penetrating structure 301 may be sealed with respect to the surrounding roofing (not shown) by a kit of sheet flashing members generally designated 401,411,421,423 substantially corresponding to the embodiments shown and described in the above. Alternatively, only sheet flashing members 401,411 of the kind defined by the invention may be used, e.g. for the side pieces of the roof penetrating structure, whereas the other pieces of the structure may be flashed by means of other kinds of flashing members. -
Fig. 31 illustrates a situation, in which a kit of flashing members comprising e.g.sheet flashing members - The shape of the roof penetrating structure is not critical. As suggested in
Fig. 32 , the sheet flashing member according to the invention may be used as flashing members between substantially triangular roof penetrating structure. Other geometrical shapes are of course conceivable. - The invention should not be regarded as being limited to the embodiment described in the above but various modifications of and combinations between the various embodiments may be carried out without departing from the scope of the following claims.
- For instance, the sheet flashing member and the kit according to the invention may be used in connection with a variety of roof penetrating structures. In addition to the roof windows already mentioned, other structure may comprise solar panels, skylights, roof access hatches etc.
