Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gutter-like flashing member for use between roof penetrating structures installed in an inclined roof surface comprising a first sheet portion adapted to engage a side surface of a bottom member of a first roof penetrating building structure, and a second opposed sheet portion adapted to engage a side surface of a top member of a second roof penetrating building structure arranged below the first roof penetrating structure.
  • the invention further relates to a roof structure including such a gutter-like flashing member.
  • a flashing assembly comprising upper and lower flashing members 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 members adapted to be mounted in sloping positions between the two side frame portions and the roofing.
  • the flashing members may be said to form a collar around the window, and to waterproof the joint between this collar and the window the flashing assembly further comprises cladding or cap members.
  • roof windows are often mounted in the so-called "Encastrée” manner where the window does not project as far above the plane of the roofing as is normally the case.
  • This type of mounting improves the insulation properties and is thought to be more aesthetically pleasing, but it may entail problems with drainage, particularly when two windows are to be mounted one above the other and a horizontal gutter-like flashing member is used between them.
  • the problem is particularly related to cases, where the gutter is also used to drain off water condensing on the inside of the second, lowermost window, as it must then be located below the level of the inside of the window pane.
  • the horizontal orientation of the third sheet portion requires that the exact pitch of the roof is known when picking the flashing assembly to be used and a separate flashing member must be provided for every roof pitch angle.
  • the flashing member could be provided with means for adjusting the angle, but this will make it relatively complex and hence expensive. It will therefore often be preferred to install the flashing member with the third sheet portion at an angle, inclined towards the second roof penetrating structure so that the joint between the first and third sheet portions is above the joint between the second and third sheet portions.
  • the angle of the third sheet portion is 0-15 degrees in relation to the horizontal, which will generally be sufficient to ensure a proper draining, 7,5 degrees being particularly preferred.
  • width of the third sheet portion Another factor which influences the possible use of a given flashing member is the width of the third sheet portion. The wider it is, the deeper the flashing member will reach into the roof. For common type installations of roof windows mounted in traditional European roof structures a width of 120-160 mm, preferably 140 mm, is presently considered expedient, and a width of 240-280 mm, preferably 260 mm, has proven expedient when the roof pitch is less than 20 degrees. The exact optimal relationship between width and angles in a given flashing member may be determined by experiments.
  • the gutter-like flashing member may in some embodiments comprise a fourth sheet portion interconnecting the first and third sheet portions, said fourth sheet portion being arranged at an angle to both the first sheet portion and the third sheet portion.
  • a fourth sheet portion may also serve aesthetic purposes and it will be understood that the exact angles of the fourth sheet portion in relation to the first and third sheet portions will of course depend on its purpose.
  • the angle between the first and third sheet portions referred to above applies even when a fourth sheet portion is provided, but that the angle is then the angle between the planes defined by the first and third sheet portions, or, in other words, between the imaginary continuations of the first and third sheet portions.
  • the flashing member may further comprise a fifth sheet portion arranged at the end of the gutter perpendicularly to the general longitudinal orientation of the flashing member, fifth sheet portions preferably being provided at both ends of the gutter. It is noted, that these end portions must of course leave a sufficient drainage passage, allowing water to get out of the gutter even during heavy rain, so that it does not penetrate up underneath the cladding members on the roof penetrating structures or into the roof structure itself.
  • a particularly watertight structure is achieved by using a flashing member with a sixth sheet portion at the end of the gutter and projecting in continuation of the gutter, said sixth sheet portion being substantially perpendicular to the first and second sheet portions and adapted for interconnecting side flashings members used along the sides of the first and second roof penetrating structures, sixth sheet portions preferably being provided at both ends of the gutter. In this way there will be no joint between flashing members at the end of the gutter and the water-tightness will hence be improved.
  • Each sixth sheet portion is preferably provided with engagement means adapted for engagement with side flashing members. This will not only contribute to a tight and durable joint between the gutter-like flashing member and the side flashing members, but may also serve a guiding function during mounting.
  • the sixth sheet portion may be provided with longitudinally extending flanges made by bending or pressing the flashing material up into ridges as is well known from side flashing members. By arranging these ridges of the side flashing members and gutter-like flashing member to ride on top of each other, where the respective flashing members overlap, the respective flashing members are positioned precisely in relation to each other and the risk of wrongful mounting is considerably reduced.
  • the second sheet portion may have a section adapted for overlapping an exterior upwards facing surface of the second roof penetrating structure.
  • the height of the second sheet portion then preferably corresponds substantially to the distance between this exterior upwards facing surface and the level of side flashing members used along at least one side members of the second roof penetrating structure.
  • sixth sheet portions may be made to extend up along the outer sides of one or both of the roof penetrating structures, so that they extend up underneath cladding members arranged thereon.
  • the flashing member may further comprising a seventh sheet portion arranged at the end of the gutter perpendicularly to the general longitudinal orientation of the sheet flashing member and being adapted for being arranged along a side surface of the first roof penetrating structure and extending past the first sheet portion to partially span over the gutter, seventh sheet portions preferably being provided at both ends of the gutter.
  • the part extending along the side surface of the roof penetrating structure will protect the roof penetrating structure from the water and contribute to keeping the flashing member in place, and the part extending over the gutter will guide the water downwards towards the side flashing member of the second, lowermost roof penetrating structure, away from the gutter. This may be particularly advantageous under windy conditions.
  • fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh sheet portions are independent and that a flashing member according to the invention may have any combination of such additional sheet portions, including for example only two types, such as fourth and seventh sheet portions, or that it may be provided without any of them.
  • the flashing member according to the invention may be made in several ways as will be readily imaginable to the skilled person, but is preferably formed from a single piece of material, preferably by folding, folding and drawing, deep drawing, compression moulding or the like. In many cases this will result in rounded corners where the first and second sheet portions meet the third sheet portions and possibly also elsewhere on the flashing member. In such cases the reference to for example the position of "the joint between the first and third sheet portions" is to be understood as the position where these plate sections would have met had they been straight and jointed in a sharp edge, i.e. where their imaginary continuations would intersect.
  • the material used for the flashing member is preferably a polymer or metal, such as aluminium or aluminium alloys, which has proven well suited for use in the harsh conditions occurring on a roof.
  • gutter-like flashing member is primarily described as used between a pair of roof windows it may equally well be used between other types of roof penetrating structures such as for example solar collectors, the windows serving only as examples.
  • a gutter-like flashing member 1 is shown mounted between two roof windows 2, 3 of which only the lowermost and uppermost part, respectively, is shown for the sake of simplicity.
  • the gutter-like flashing member comprises a first sheet portion 11 arranged against the bottom frame member 21 of the uppermost window 2 and a second sheet portion 12 arranged against the top frame member 32 of the lowermost window 3.
  • a third sheet portion 13 extends between the first and second sheet portions 11, 12 and hence between the two windows 2, 3, forming the bottom of the gutter.
  • the third sheet portion 13 is perpendicular neither to the first sheet portion 11 nor to the second sheet portion 12, but arranged at an angle, which at least partially neutralizes the pitch of the roof so that the third sheet portion is close to horizontal, while the first and second sheet portions are substantially perpendicular to the plane of the roof.
  • the interior angle f between the first and third sheet portions is approximately 77 degrees and the angle s between the second and third sheet portions is approximately 103 degrees. With a roof pitch of approximately 20 degrees, this results in the angle of the third sheet portion being approximately 7 degrees.
  • the side portions 15 are arranged at level with these in the mounted state and furthermore provided with three flanges 151, 152, 153 corresponding to those found on traditional side flashing members.
  • the original purpose of these flanges is to prevent water from flowing sideways off the side flashing members and into the roof structure, but they may also serve to keep individual flashing members in place in relation to each other.
  • the flanges 152, 153 which are here formed by folding or pressing longitudinal U-shaped projections, are well-suited for this purpose, since the flange of an upper flashing member may be arranged to ride over the corresponding flange on a flashing member arranged further down the roof. If designed ap-propriately, this may even result in a press-fitting, which will effectively lock the flashing members together.
  • the end portions 14 extend up to the level of the side portions 15 and hence the side flashing members (not shown). This means that a pocket is formed at the first sheet portion 11, where the third sheet portion 13 forming the bottom of the gutter is located deeper in the roof. In the embodiment shown the dept of the gutter measured from the level of the side portion 15 to the joint between the first and third sheet portions of approximately 30 mm.
  • the third sheet portion 13 is at level with the flat section 154 of the side portion, leaving an exit passage 16 for water, which will run through the gutter substantially as indicated with the arrows in Fig. 3 .
  • the gutter may, however, be filled and water may then pass over the upper edges of the end portions 14 and onto the side portions 15, thus effectively widening the exit passage to cover a larger area.
  • water-guides may be provided, here illustrated by a raised section 17 a centre of the third sheet portion 13.
  • the raised section will prevent or at least hinder a flow in the longitudinal direction of the gutter and hence contribute to an even distribution of the water on the two sides of the lowermost window.
  • Other possible embodiments of such water-guides are angled projections or grooves leading the water outwards towards the exit passages 16.
  • the second sheet portion 12 is therefore provided with a section 121, which overlaps the exterior surface of the lowermost window 3.
  • the overlapping section 121 is formed as a bend edge hooking onto a top covering 33 on the lowermost window 3.
  • the side portions 15 of the gutter-like flashing member 1 are also provided with upstanding sections 155 and 156 extending along the side frame members of the uppermost and lowermost windows 2, 3, respectively.
  • the upstanding section 155 extending along the uppermost window 2 may be regarded as a seventh sheet portion, which protects the side frame member of window and provides an overlap with a leg of the side flashing member (not shown) extending along the side frame member. As may be seen in Figs. 1 , 4 and 8 this upstanding section 155 also projects past the first sheet portion 11.
  • the projecting part 157 guides water coming from the side flashing member (not shown) at the uppermost window 2, so that it does not enter the gutter but continues down the over the side section 15 of the gutter-like flashing member 1 and from there onto the side flashing member at the lowermost window 3. This will be particularly advantageous during windy conditions and the shape of the projecting part 157 may even be designed to help provide an advantageous aerodynamic pattern at the lowermost corner of the uppermost window.
  • the side portions 15 of the flashing members shown on the drawing are wider at the end arranged opposite the uppermost window 2 than at the end arranged opposite the lowermost window 3. This is to allow the use of traditional standardized side flashing members, which are sometimes wider at the lowermost end in order to allow a suitable discharge of water to the bottom flashing member or skirt used at the bottom of a window arranged in solitaire or lowermost in a group. If, however, side flashing members are of the same width at their top and bottom ends, the side portions 15 of the gutter-like flashing member 1 may be of a constant width. This may even be advantageous as the concentration of the flow of water, which results from the narrowing cross-section of the side portions shown in the drawing and which may force some of the water into the gutter, will then be avoided.
