    摘要: A weatherproofing assembly for use with a group of roof windows comprising at least two roof windows mounted adjacent to each other in a sloped roof structure (4) is disclosed. It comprises a first underroof collar (1, 1a), a second underroof collar (1, 1b), and a flashing assembly (5). The flashing assembly comprises a first set of flashing members including one top flashing member (51), one bottom flashing member (52), and two side flashing members (53, 54) corresponding to those used in the installation of a single roof window, and a second set of flashing members including one middle gutter flashing member (15, 19) and a sub-set of two other flashing members, said sub-set being chosen from the group comprising an over-under sub-set including one top flashing member (51) and one bottom flashing member (52) and a sides sub-set including two side flashing members (53, 54). At least one collar member (11, 12, 13, 14) of the second underroof collar comprises a reduced amount of collar material compared to the corresponding collar member of the first underroof collar.

    摘要: A roof skirt that provides overhang and can be easily mounted to a roof edge is disclosed herein. The first section of the roof skirt includes an overhang portion and an underlayment portion. The overhang portion extends over a roof edge. The underlayment portion is placed under shingles or other roof types. The bottom surface of the underlayment portion includes an adhesive and a removable cover over the adhesive. Similar to the first section, the continuation section includes an overhang portion and an underlayment portion that function in the same manner as the corresponding portions of the first section. A plurality of continuation sections can be connected together to cover the entirety of the roof edge. The quantity of continuation sections needed can vary depending on the size of the roof.

    摘要: Roof-to-wall flashing having a cavity formed from a closed hem that permits for the installation of new flashing into the cavity when installing a second layer roof, without removing the existing wall flashing and siding. The ledge acts like a hinge or spring which becomes compressed once siding or exterior product is placed onto ledge. The hinge or spring-like effect compresses the cavity, assisting in holding second layer flashings in place.

    摘要: One of the challenges of rooftop wind turbines is that the building causes turbulence and updrafts and can create a blockage to the wind at rooftop level. That means lower speed and higher turbulence wind hitting the turbine and less power output. Prior art solutions consisted of elevating the blades of rooftop turbines or making the updraft hit the blades. Creating structures that separate the turbulence of the air below roof level from the oncoming and higher velocity linear wind above roof level, where the turbine is located, can decrease slowing of the rooftop level wind stream and enable the blades to be placed closer to roof level, thereby saving construction costs and roof weight. It is ideal to combine these improvements with a vertical axis wind turbine.

    摘要: A roof edge mounting bracket preferably includes a base member and a vertical attachment flange. The base member extends outward in a horizontal orientation from the vertical attachment flange. A lower portion of the vertical attachment flange extends below the base member and an upper portion of the vertical attachment flange extends above the base member. A plurality of staggered fastener openings are preferably formed through the base member. An angled roof edge bracket includes a base member and a vertical attachment flange. The base member extends from the vertical attachment flange at an acute angle. A cantilevered roof edge bracket preferably includes a cantilevered base member and a vertical attachment flange. A roof edge angle bracket includes a base member and a vertical attachment flange. A roof edge vertical bracket preferably includes a vertical attachment flange, a bottom offset lip and an upper retaining lip.

    摘要: A construction venting strip to be placed at the interfaces between framing members that enclose a space. The strip acts as a conduit for the passage of air across it; prevents water from pooling on the surface of underlying framing members; seals penetrations passing through the strip and into the underlying framing members; acts as a thermal break; and may be used as a furring or shim strip. It is a linear strip of polymer with a side locating flange and a waterproof, self-sealing strip in its bottom face, The top face of the strip base has spaced pads extending therefrom with air passage channels there between. The air passage channels are configured for angular cut lines.
