Definitions

  • the exemplary and non-limiting embodiments of this invention relate generally to a flashing, a flashing system and a method for flashing a roof component, like a roof window or a solar collector.
  • the present invention relates to a flashing cover for a sloping roof penetrating structure, for example a roof window, a solar collector or a photovoltaic panel e.g. a roof component that penetrates the roof covering.
  • flashing roof penetrating building structures for example frame structures for roof windows
  • flashing covers of sheet metal, for instance aluminum, copper, steel or zinc.
  • Such flashing is disclosed in DE2503519 which shows a sloping roof window flashing structure, including a top flashing (6).
  • WO2004/051026 and WO2002/42578 disclose two interconnected flashing parts in slidable engagement which allow height adjustment. Further it is mentioned that the angle between a flashing sheet 4 and skirt 5 may be adjusted by connection allowing pivoting.
  • EP 1925761 shows a flashing cover overlapping a flashing skirt ( fig. 2 ).
  • a problem related to the different sloping roof structures is present, because the depth of an installed roof windows/collectors depends on the different roof structures. Consequently the flashing dimensions depend on the depth of the installed roof component and adjustment or customization may be necessary.
  • a problem is associated to the replacement of a roof component, where an old component with one depth is removed and a new component with a new depth is installed. In case of replacement of the roof component, part of the old flashing may remain and be reused while another part of the flashing covering the component may be replaced, and the two parts should be compatible or at least ensure a watertight flashing.
  • the flashing parts may overlap each other at the junctions in order to prevent the water from entering, for example an upper flashing part may overlap a lower flashing part.
  • the drain design of a roof component flashing is critical to prevent wind and storm from forcing water through the flashing junctions or overlaps.
  • the overlapping of the flashing parts also needs to be considered according to the roof inclination to ensure that the water is drained correctly under influence from gravity and winds.
  • the roof component depth has changed in recent years due to the aesthetic appearance of flush or low profile roof component installations. Consequently many factors need to be considered when designing flashings that perform well in various roof structures and various roof inclinations.
  • roof components for sloping roof structures a flashing and a method for flashing and flashing system to eliminate or reduce the drawbacks mentioned above and further provide a number of advantages. For example where an old roof component with one depth is removed and a new roof component with a new depth is installed. For example having fewer parts provides advantages when packing complete flashing kits (i.e. kits containing all the flashing parts for, for example, a roof window) fewer and smaller parts provide production and logistic advantages as well as the costs for storage are reduced. A reduced number of parts and compact size of the parts to be installed is also advantageous, so the handling and installation may be improved.
  • said first portion (16a) when in use provides adjustment means (16a) for minimizing a gap (19).
  • a method comprising:
  • said provided top flashing cover (16) is shorter than the second portion (16b).
  • said provided top flashing cover (16) is shorter than the second portion (16b).
  • one non-limiting advantage that is gained by the use of the exemplary embodiments is a flashing cover with better drain properties.
  • Other non-limiting advantage that is provided is that the flashing cover is compact.
  • Another non-limiting advantage is, that the flashing cover enables adjustment to fit roof components of various depths (25). This is advantageous when replacing old roof components with new components with different depth.
  • the provided flashing cover enables installation with existing flashings.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates an example of water drain in a roof window installation, where water is drained by flashing parts that form a drain path (2).
  • An aperture (1) for a roof component e.g. a roof window is present in the roof structure comprising battens (8) and roof covering tiles (9).
  • flashing parts are installed (3, 4, 5, 7).
  • the upper flashings parts (3) overlap the lover flashing parts (4) etc. in order to provide a seal.
  • the aperture (1) has a top flashing (3) comprising a protruding profile (6) which provides drain for the water from the tiles towards the sides of the aperture.
  • the side flashing (4) drains the water to the bottom flashing (5) which comprises flexible skirt (7) which can be formed to fit the jagged tiles (9).
  • the width of the roof component/window has influence on the drain requirements of the top flashing (3).
  • FIG. 2 shows a cross section of a roof window installation and fitted flashing.
  • a roof structure comprises battens (8) for supporting tiles (9).
  • a window pane (12) is supported by a window sash (13).
  • the window frame (14) is supported by the roof structure.
  • the window is sealed and drained by flashing parts.
  • a first portion (3a) of a top flashing (3) is secured to the roof structure and a second portion (3b) is secured to the top of the window frame.
  • the top of the frame has a top face (15) which is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the roof.
  • top flashing indicates that the flashing is associated with the top of the frame (14) and the frame face (15).
  • the upper window portion has top box 10 which is interconnected to the top flashing by a folding in the second portion (3b).
  • the bottom of the roof window installation is sealed by a flexible skirt (7).
  • a top flashing portion (3) may be joined directly to the top box (10), but the depth (25) of the installation varies with different roof structures and consequently this is associated with various problems, as mentioned in the background section.
  • Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of a top flashing cover (16) installed on the top of the window frame (14).
  • the top flashing cover has a first portion (16a) and a second portion (16b).
  • the top flashing cover first portion (16a) is prefeably shorter than the second portion (16b).
  • Pivot means are provided between the first portion (16a) and second portion (16b).
  • the pivot means (17) are provided on the half of flashing cover (16) that comprise the first portion (16a).
  • the second portion (16b) may be sealed and fixed with the top box (10) by attachment means.
  • the attachment means may be a fold.
  • the fold at the second portion (16b) allows to seal and join the top flashing cover with the roof window top box (10).
  • the second portion (16b) extends above the flashing (3).
  • the second portion (16b) overlaps the flashing (3).
  • the second portion (16b) extends higher than the flashing (3) in a direction normal to the roof plane (25).
  • the first portion (16a) comprises pivot means (17).
  • the pivot means (17) can be a bend.
  • the pivot means (17) or bend (17) provides adjustment of the first portion (16a).
  • the top flashing 3 comprises a corner bend and the first portion (16a) of the flashing cover is in proximity of said bend.
  • the adjustment of the first portion (16a) provides a flexible flashing cover which can be fitted and configured to various structures.
  • the pivot means (17) provide means for taking up or minimizing a gap (19) when displacing the flashing cover in a direction normal to the roof plane (25).
  • the first portion (16a) provides a flap for adjustment of the gap between the flashing (3) and the flashing cover (16). The flap provides means for adjustment when displacing the flashing cover in a direction normal to the roof plane.
  • the pivot means (17) or bend (17) provide a drain cavity (18).
  • the drain cavity (18) provides an improved flashing.
  • the drain cavity (18) provides a more laminar drain.
  • the drain cavity (18) provides a better drain, where water during storm may be turbulent, some water can be drained above the top of flashing cover (16a) and also the water that enters the drain cavity (18) can be drained laminar through the drain cavity (18).
