Packed flashing assembly for use with a group of roof windows and a method for weatherproofing a group of roof windows
A packed flashing assembly (1) for use with a group of roof windows comprising at least two roof windows mounted adjacent to each other in a sloped roof structure (3) is disclosed. The flashing assembly comprises a first set (I) of flashing members including one top flashing member (11), one bottom flashing member (12), and two side flashing members (13, 14) contained in a first packaging element (4), and a second set (II) of flashing members including one middle gutter flashing member (15, 19) and two other flashing members (11, 12; 13, 14) contained in a second packaging element. When mounting the flashing assembly at least three flashing members of the first set are mounted at a first roof window, and at least one flashing member of the first set is mounted at a second roof window, and the second set is mounted at the second roof window.
Skylight leak repair
A skylight leak repair kit and method especially adapted for use in repairing a skylight damaged dome mounted in a metal frame on a commercial flat roof. Required equipment includes an oversized sheet formed of PVC membrane which is 12 oz to 20 oz per yard in weight and reinforced with a mesh network of fibers, sticks of termination bar about 1 inch high with pre-punched holes spaced about 6 to 8 on center, self-tapping metal screws with plastic washers. Steps include draping the sheet, positioning sections of the termination bar along the metal frame, pleating the sheet along the sides and securing the sheet along the metal frame with the self-tapping metal screws while avoiding the pleats but coming within inches of the corners with the termination bars.
Curb-mounted skylight
A curb-mounted skylight designed for mounting on a framing protruding from the roof and forming part of its construction. The skylight has a glazing unit (1) and a support frame (2), where the distance (H2) from the skylight support surface to the outermost edge of the protective wall (22) of the section profile of the support frame (2) is not longer than the distance (H1) from the skylight support surface to the outside surface of the glazing unit (1). There is an adhesive sealing joint (5) between the glazing unit (1) and the protective wall (2).
WINDOW FRAME SYSTEM FOR ROOF WINDOWS, BASE FRAME MODULE, AND METHOD FOR CONNECTING BASE FRAME MODULES
The disclosure relates to a window frame system for roof windows including a first base frame module and a second base frame module mounted next to each other on a roof structure. The first base frame module and the second base frame module are connectable to one another via a first connecting leg and a second connecting leg. The second connecting leg includes a drainage channel formation and the first connecting leg includes a drainage channel accommodation portion. In the connected state of the first base frame module and the second base frame module, the drainage channel formation portion extends from the second connecting leg toward the first connecting leg so that a drainage channel is formed along the connected connecting legs thereby preventing water from penetrating from above the drainage channel into a space between the connecting legs below the drainage channel.
Flashing assembly comprising a top flashing arrangement, a roof element system comprising such a flashing assembly, and a method of manufacturing a flashing assembly
A flashing assembly comprising a top flashing arrangement, a roof element system comprising such a flashing assembly, and a method of manufacturing a flashing assembly. In the flashing assembly (11), a top flashing arrangement comprises at least one pair of an inner top flashing element (111) and an outer top flashing element (112), and each inner top flashing element (111) and the associated outer top flashing element (112) are configured to be interconnected in a telescopic joint (115).
Frame providing restriction of thermal deflection of a VIG unit edge
A vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit frame assembly (10) is disclosed comprising: a rectangular vacuum insulated glass unit (1) comprising two glass sheets (2a, 2b) separated by a sealed gap (11), wherein a plurality of support structures (12) are distributed in said gap (11), and a frame arrangement (20) comprising elongated frame profile arrangements (20a-20d) which frames said vacuum insulated glass unit (1) in a frame opening (21), and wherein said frame arrangement (20) comprises a fixation system (40, 45a, 45b, 80, 28a, 28b, 22, 23, 40) fixating the vacuum insulated glass unit (1) at the frame arrangement (20), wherein said frame (20) is arranged so as to allow edges (8a-8d) of said vacuum insulated glass unit (1) to thermally deflect (DIS4) in a deflection direction (D1, D2) perpendicular to said frame opening plane (P2) due to a temperature difference (?T=T1?T2) between the two glass sheets (2a, 2b), and to provide a restriction of said thermal deflection (DIS4) of the edges (8a-8d), so as to reduce the magnitude of the thermal deflection compared to an unrestricted thermal deflection of the edges (8a-8d) at said temperature difference (?T=T1?T2).
lateral intermediate flashing element for connecting lateral longitudinal flashing elements, a kit comprising such flashing elements, and a method of flashing two roof elements positioned adjacent each other at different altitudes along a slanted roof
A lateral intermediate flashing element (100) for connecting lateral longitudinal flashing elements (200; 300) for flashing roof elements positioned adjacent each other at different altitudes along a slanted roof, comprises a longitudinal portion (110) with a generally L-shaped cross-section with a first leg (101) and a second leg (102), said second leg (102) comprising a slit-shaped pocket (105) with an opening towards a distal edge portion, the longitudinal portion (110) having an upper longitudinal end (120) and a lower longitudinal end (121), a width of the longitudinal portion (110) of the second leg (102) being smaller at the lower longitudinal end (121) than such width of the longitudinal portion (110) at the upper longitudinal end (120).
Flashing assembly for use between two roof windows mounted in an inclined roof structure, a group of roof windows mounted using such a flashing assembly, and a method for mounting a flashing assembly between two roof windows
A flashing assembly for use between two roof windows mounted in an inclined roof structure, a group of roof windows mounted using such a flashing assembly, and a method for mounting a flashing assembly between two roof windows. In the flashing assembly (1), the first section (71) of the first flashing element (7) comprises two legs (711, 712) extending along the width axis and being located at a distance from each other measured along the height axis thereby forming a pocket (713) between them. The first section (81) of the second flashing element (8) fits into the pocket of the first flashing element.
Insulation member
A roof window comprising an insulation member for sealing a gap between at least part of a roof window frame and at least part of a frame of an aperture in a support structure for receiving the roof window frame. The insulation member having a first out of use configuration and a second in use insulating configuration and an arrangement for activating the insulation member between the out of use configuration and the in use insulating configuration.
Supporting A Load On A Roof
The invention provides a system for installing a roof penetrating structure to a metal roof, the system comprising: a) a rail and closure structure adapted to be supported by adjacent rib elevations of said roof; b) a skylight adapted to be supported on the rail and closure structure; and c) a support member for sealing a cut away portion of the rib structure to divert water away from the rail and closure structure.
