摘要:
The present invention relates more particularly to improved flashings for use in integrating specialized roof-mounted structures, such as photovoltaic devices for the generation of electrical energy, with conventional roofing materials on a roof. In one aspect, the invention provides a flashing element having a cross-sectional shape comprising a laterally-extending flange, the flange having an edge, a first end and a second end, the side flashing element comprising a return hem disposed at the edge and comprising a folded-over strip of material disposed over the top surface of the flange at the edge, the return hem having a first end disposed toward the first end of the edge, and a second end disposed toward the second end of the edge, wherein the total thickness of the return hem at its second end is no greater than the interior thickness of the return hem at its first end.

Seal a flashing joint on an open frame structure using a first barrier sheet having first and second adhesive strips on opposing primary surfaces proximate to opposing edges and running the length of the first barrier sheet by applying the first barrier sheet over the flashing joint with one edge below the flashing joint and adhering an adhesive strip to a building element below the flashing joint with the first adhesive strip and applying a second barrier sheet overlapping the first barrier sheet and adhere the first and second barrier sheets together using the second adhesive strip. The process can include applying flashing over the first barrier sheet and flashing joint and then overlaying the flashing with the second barrier sheet and sealing the second barrier sheet to both the first barrier sheet and the flashing.

A flashing and associated assembly and method for directing water along an interface between a roof and a wall are provided. The flashing, which can be formed as a unitary molded plastic member, has an angled configuration. In particular, a roof portion of the flashing is configured to be disposed on the roof, and first and second flanges extend perpendicularly from the roof portion to define a continuous passage for receiving water. The flanges define an obtuse angle therebetween so that when one flange is disposed against the wall the other flange is configured to direct water flowing along the passage away from the wall. The flashing can be reversible so that the same flashing can be selectively installed at wall-roof interfaces of different configurations.

A roof transition system is provided for supporting and ventilating roof tiles near a roof transition such as a valley or a side wall. The system includes a corrugated flashing and an eave riser extension containing one or more openings for ventilation and drainage. The eave riser extension supports the lowermost row of roof tiles along the eaves at the pitch desired for the roof transition. The eave riser extension completes the closure of the entire eaves and provides support, ventilation, and drainage, while also providing a barrier to wind-driven precipitation, bird nesting, and animal invasion.
摘要:
A flashing assembly that incorporates a plurality of overlapping flashing sections that are each preferably formed from a sheet material. Each section includes opposite edge portions that are arranged about a generally V-shaped configuration. Joining the sections together is at least one clinch joint that is substantially formed and registered upon the overlapping edge portions of at least two different overlapping flashing sections. The clinch joint is adapted to releasably fasten the at least two sections. Various modifications include one or more additional clinch joints that are also substantially formed upon the same overlapping edge portions of the first clinch joint and the V-shaped configuration that forms an angle of approximately 90 degrees. In other variations of the preceding modifications, the clinch joint is a mechanical press fit interference joint or a welded, press fit, or adhesive joint, or some combination or permutation thereof. Each section may also incorporate one or more attachment holes and alignment indicia. The sheet material is preferably selected from a material such as, for example, powdered, machined, drawn, stamped, rolled, extruded, and forged metals and plastics, and alloys, and combinations, mixtures, compositions, hybrids, tempers, hardness modified, and heat treated variations thereof. More preferably, the sheet material is selected from the group of materials including weather and galvanic corrosion resistant materials including, for example, aluminum, tin, bronze, copper, lead, stainless steel, galvanized metals, weather proofed metals, plastic coated metals, and alloys, combinations, mixtures, compositions, hybrids, tempers, surface treated, hardness modified, and heat treated variations thereof.
摘要:
A flashing providing directional vanes, ribbing, scoring or etchings on its working surface which is suitable for joining, or providing backing for, sections of roofing materials, sections of exterior wall material, particularly at corners, and sections of the walls of a bathtub or shower stall and causes accumulated moisture flow to be directed inwardly toward a moisture drainage point for the flashing rather than outwardly toward the surrounding building structure.
摘要:
A flashing structure for mounting onto a roof surface and used for receiving shingles. The flashing structure includes a first drainage channel extending longitudinally along the flashing structure. The flashing structure also includes a securing lip positioned over the first drainage channel and extending along the same, a gap being defined between the securing lip and the first drainage channel, the gap being shaped and sized for receiving the shingles. The flashing structure also includes a second drainage channel extending longitudinally along the flashing structure, the second drainage channel being fluidly connected to the first drainage channel. These features can be adapted to various flashings used in the metal roofing industry, including, but not limited to gable-end flashings, end-wall flashings, and valley flashings, as well as other related flashing structures.

The panels (1, 2) are along a frame member connected to one or more support elements (3) in an angle of inclination in relation to a subjacent securing plane by means of mounting and hinge fittings (4) which can be adjusted in dependence of said angle of inclination, the fittings also constituting the hinge fittings of the openable panels. Each fitting (4) comprises a securing part for connection with the support element (3), a hinge part for connection with the frame structure of the panel (1, 2) and an adjustment part connecting the securing part with the hinge part.

A flashing comprises a preformed plastics element having a body (1) with an inner face (13) and an outer face (11), the body having an upper edge (3), a lower edge (5), a first end (7) and a second end (9), and a continuous lip (15) formed along the upper edge, which lip is directed away from the outer face of the body.
