A sealing gasket (4) for use between flashing members (31,32) is disclosed. It comprises a compressible sealing section and an attachment section comprising at least two legs configured for engagement with a flashing member, both sections extending over substantially the entire length of the sealing gasket. The at least two legs of the attachment section project from a base section of the attachment section so that a first recess and a second recess extending in parallel are defined, said first and second recesses being configured for engagement with a flange, ridge, or leg on a flashing member. The invention further relates to a flashing arrangement and to a method of sealing a gap between flashing members for a roof window.

A flashing assembly for use with a roof penetrating structure, such as a roof window, in an inclined roof of a building is disclosed. It comprises a bottom flashing element and at least one side flashing element, both of which are provided with a bend portion bent away from the interior side towards the exterior side and forming a water drainage channel, which extends along an edge. The dimensions of the flashing elements are such that the two water drainage channels extend in continuation of each other in the mounted condition of the flashing assembly, and least one of the water drainage channels has a U-shape in a cross-section perpendicular to the edge of the flashing element along which is extends. A method for manufacturing a flashing assembly is also disclosed.

A method of making a daylight redirecting window film having a layered structure with a total thickness of less than one millimeter and having at least two optical films bonded together. One of the optical films has a first light redirecting layer disposed on a first side of the film and including a linear array of light redirecting structures configured to reflect light using a total internal reflection and defining a parallel array of narrow channels, and a second light redirecting layers disposed on an opposite second side of the film and including light scattering surface microstructures. The method includes coating a surface of at least one of the films with an optical adhesive, positioning the optical films such that the top portions of the light redirecting structures face inwards, and bonding the films together to form a monolithic multi-layer light redirecting film structure.

An inner frame of a door or a window is disclosed. The inner frame is disposed at an inner side of a window sash, and is connected between a jamb of the door or the window sash and a door frame or a window frame. The inner frame includes a fixing portion for fixing to the jamb, a water baffle, and a connecting portion for connecting with the door frame or the window frame. One side of the fixing portion is fixed to the jamb, the water baffle is integrally disposed on the other side of the fixing portion opposite to the one side, and the connecting portion is integrally disposed on a side of the water baffle facing away from the fixing portion and is connected to the door frame or the window frame.
