Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flashing device for a roof penetrating structure, comprising a first flashing part and a second flashing part, the first and second parts being interconnected in sliding engagement allowing the relative position between the first and second flashing parts to be adjusted during mounting of the flashing device, and at least one sealing member to be brought into contact with at least the second flashing part.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a method of installing a roof penetrating structure.
  • flashing roof penetrating building structures for example chimneys or frame 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.
  • flashing devices may be composed of e.g. two or more interconnected members or be constituted by a single member.
  • these flashing devices are used with, for example, a standard window type mounted in a given roof surface, it is possible to use the same standard flashing devices regardless of, for example, the slope of an inclined roof surface.
  • a flashing assembly adapted to be used between, for example, a roof window and a sloping roof surface comprises upper and lower flashing devices adapted to be mounted in a horizontal position between the roof surface and the upper and lower frame portions of the window, respectively, as well as first and second side flashing devices adapted to be mounted in a sloping position between the two side frame portions of the window and the roof surface.
  • Such a flashing assembly further comprises corner elements adapted to provide a seal between the side flashing devices and the upper and lower flashing devices, such corner elements often being integrated in either the upper and lower flashing devices or the side flashing devices.
  • a set of cladding devices is used to cover the joints between the flashing devices and the window, the number and positioning of the cladding devices normally corresponding to that of the flashing devices.
  • flashing devices are not standard as they are dependent upon, for example, the actual position of the window frame relative to the roof surface.
  • An example of this would be the desired height of the mounted window frame relative to the roof surface, the choice of which depends upon a number of factors, e.g. the roof material, the roof construction, the roof slope, the construction of the actual window frame as well as aesthetic considerations.
  • flashing devices which has to be adapted with respect to the above mentioned variations are the flashing devices used between the roof surface and the upper and lower frame pieces, respectively, of a window frame. Depending on the circumstances and the specific construction of the flashing or the window, such flashing devices may need to be adapted to both the slope of the roof and the height of the window frame relative to the roof surface.
  • a flashing device which makes it possible to utilize the same flashing assembly independently of the height of the roof penetrating structure extending above the plane of the roof, is disclosed in WO 02/42578 A1.
  • the cladding to be positioned against the side pieces of the window frame are provided with a compressible sealing member that is traditionally fastened to the under side of the side cladding by means of e.g. an adhesive.
  • a flashing device of the kind mentioned in the introduction which is furthermore characterized in that said at least one sealing member is substantially L-shaped and includes at least one first sealing portion and a second sealing portion being made of resilient material connected with the first sealing portion and in engagement with the second flashing part.
  • a flashing device is achieved in which the risk of ingress of water is reduced. Furthermore, it is possible to provide the sealing member either as a separate part that may easily be connected with the relevant part, e.g. a part of the flashing device, at the installation site, or which may be pre-mounted on the flashing part in question.
  • a further advantage of the design of the sealing member and its connection with the second flashing part is that the sealing portion is kept securely in position by the engagement portion.
  • the second flashing part comprises a second sheet portion and an upper flange
  • the first sealing portion is positioned substantially in parallel with the upper flange
  • the second sealing portion is positioned substantially in parallel with the second sheet portion
  • the second portion of the sealing member includes guiding surfaces, and the second sheet portion includes an extended section in abutment with said guiding surfaces.
  • the engagement portion comprises an opening, to enable relatively firm engagement with a flashing part.
  • the engagement portion comprises an area of increased friction, to thereby enhance the ability of the sealing member to follow telescopic movement of flashing parts during installation and keep the position relative to the second flashing part.
  • the increased friction may be achieved by applying an anti-friction material on the engagement portion, however according to an embodiment the area of increased friction comprises ribs. These ribs provide the further advantage of increased protection against ingress of water, and in addition the ribs provide a reinforcement of the engagement surface.
  • a method of installing a roof penetrating structure comprises the following steps: providing a first flashing part, a second flashing part, and at least two substantially L-shaped sealing members; which each include at least one first sealing portion and a second sealing portion characterized in making the material of the second portion 122 resilient, and the additional steps of: positioning one sealing member at a respective end of said second flashing part; connecting the second flashing part with said first flashing part to form a flashing device; adjusting the relative position between the first and the second flashing parts; and connecting the flashing device with the roof penetrating structure.
  • a cladding member for connection with the roof penetrating structure is connected with the flashing device prior to the step in which the flashing device is connected with the roof penetrating structure.
  • the prior art flashing device shown in Fig. 1 comprises a first flashing part 2 adapted to provide a seal against the roof, and a second flashing part 3 adapted to provide a sealing transition between the first flashing part and the roof penetrating structure (not shown) such that the composite flashing device provides a substantially sealed transition between the roof and the roof penetrating structure.
  • the roof penetrating structure may e.g. be a roof window, a sun collector or the like.
  • the first flashing part 2 comprises a first sheet portion 4 and a skirt portion 5 connected to a lower part thereof, the skirt portion being arranged at an angle relative to the plane of the first sheet portion.
  • the skirt portion comprises two portions, the first skirt portion 5a being arranged in a downwardly sloping position relative to the first sheet portion and the second skirt portion 5b being arranged substantially in plane with the roof surface (not shown).
  • the second flashing part 3 comprises a second sheet portion 6 as well as an upper flange 7 adapted to engage an upper surface of a window frame piece (not shown) by means of holes 17 and suitable fastening means (not shown).
  • the first and second sheet parts are arranged in sliding engagement and held together by cooperating, adjustable connecting means. These connecting means may e.g.
  • the first sheet portion comprises a folded-over upper portion with a downwardly facing first flange 11, thereby creating a first narrow fold between the first sheet portion and the first flange.
  • the second sheet portion 6 comprises a folded-over lower portion with an upwardly facing second flange 14, thereby creating a second narrow fold between the second sheet portion and the second flange.
  • the first flange is arranged in the second fold and the second flange is arranged in the first fold, thus forming a connection between the two sheet portions.
  • the shown skirt 5 is a substantially plane sheet portion which is adapted to be mounted on top of a substantially planar roof surface or below a roof surface, however, for use on roof surfaces in the form of undulated tiles with deep troughs, the skirt can be made from materials which can be manually deformed or stretched during mounting to enable a good fit between the flashing and roofing, such materials including wave-undulated or pleated laminates.
  • the first skirt portion 5a is arranged in an almost horizontal position sloping slightly downward relative to the first sheet portion 4, however, the skirt may be arranged in any desired angle.
  • the skirt may also be arranged in such a way that the angle between the first skirt portion 5a and the first sheet portion 4 can be adjusted, for example by a connection allowing pivoting there between.
  • corner elements are provided which may be formed integrally with either the upper/lower or the side flashing devices.
  • the flashing device 1 comprises a corner element 10 arranged substantially perpendicular to the general planes of the skirt 5 and the sheet portion 4 at an end thereof and adapted to engage a side flashing device (not shown).
  • the flashing device also comprises a corner element at the opposite end, but for reasons of clarity this corner element is not shown.
  • the flashing device 1 is fastened to the window frame bottom piece, which as described in the above is normally covered by a bottom cladding member (not shown in Fig. 1).

  • the first sealing portion 121 serves substantially the same purpose as the entire sealing member 20 of the prior art flashing device.
  • the first sealing portion 121 is connected integrally with the second portion 122, which serves as a combined sealing and engagement portion.
  • the portions 121 and 122 of the sealing member 120 may be manufactured by moulding of one and the same material, or by forming the portions as two separate parts that are subsequently connected with each other in any suitable manner.
  • a bottom cladding member 130 is shown in Fig. 5. The details regarding the bottom cladding member 130 will be described further below.
  • the second sheet portion 106 of the second flashing part 103 is positioned in engagement with the second portion 122 of the sealing member 120.
  • the second sheet portion 106 comprises an extended portion 106a, which in turn is designed with a protruding flange section (not visible) inserted into an opening in the form of a slit 126 of surface 124.
  • the end edge of the second sheet portion 106 i.e. in the embodiment shown the end edge of the extended portion 106a outside the protruding flange section, abuts against the guiding surface 124 of the sealing member 120.
  • the inside portion of the sheet portion 106 in the vicinity of the end edge abuts against the guiding surface 123.
  • the under side of the first sealing portion 121 is positioned against the upper flange 107.
  • the sealing member 120 is initially positioned at the right-hand end of the second flashing part 103 in order to obtain the position as explained in the above.
  • the connection between the second flashing part 103 and the sealing member 120' at the left-hand side shown in Fig. 5 is carried out in a similar manner.
  • the second flashing part 103 is connected with the first flashing part 102 by connecting the respective connecting means of the first and second flashing parts 102 and 103 with each other.
  • the outwards facing side of the sealing members 120 and 120' i.e. the side facing away from the flashing part 102, now abuts against the respective corner element 110.
  • the order of mounting may also be reversed.
  • the flashing device 101 is now in a condition corresponding to Fig. 3 and is in principle ready to be connected with the window or other roof penetrating structure.
