Abstract
A roof edging system that includes a base anchor, a fascia cover, and a compression system that is used to provide compression thereby, allowing the fascia cover to snap into place on the base anchor.
Claims31
A method for forming a roof edging system on a roof of a building comprising:
- providing a base anchor that is configured to be connected to the roof of the building, said base anchor comprising one or more flanges;
- providing a fascia cover configured to engage said base anchor and to provide an aesthetic appearance to said roof edging system, said fascia cover having a first end configured to engage a first portion of said base anchor, and a second end configured to engage a second portion of said base anchor;
- providing a compression system configured to connect to said base anchor, said compression system including a compression portion formed of a compressible material, said compression system is configured to be partially compressed between said fascia cover and said base anchor when said fascia cover is connected to said base anchor;
- connecting said base anchor to the roof of the building such that at least a portion of said base anchor extends above a top surface of said roof that is located adjacent to said base anchor;
- connecting said compression system to said base anchor such that said compression system is secured in position relative to said base anchor, at least a portion of said compression system located on said top surface of said base anchor;
- and,
- connecting said fascia cover to said base anchor to thereby cause a top portion of said compression material to engage a lower surface of said fascia cover and a bottom surface of said compression system engaging said base anchor such that said compression material is partially compressed between said fascia cover and said base anchor, said compression system forming a liquid seal between said base anchor and said fascia cover when said compression portion is compressed between said base anchor and said fascia cover, said compression system in contact with said fascia cover and said base anchor when partially compressed between said fascia cover and said base anchor.
