Abstract
A flashing assembly comprising a top flashing arrangement, a roof element system comprising such a flashing assembly, and a method of manufacturing a flashing assembly. In the flashing assembly (11), a top flashing arrangement comprises at least one pair of an inner top flashing element (111) and an outer top flashing element (112), and each inner top flashing element (111) and the associated outer top flashing element (112) are configured to be interconnected in a telescopic joint (115).
Claims16
A flashing assembly for a roof element configured for mounting in a sloped roof structure defining a slope direction and comprising a frame having a top frame member and a bottom frame member both extending horizontally in a mounted state of the roof element in a width direction, and two side frame members extending in the slope direction in the mounted state of the roof element, said flashing assembly comprising a top flashing arrangement configured for extending along the top frame member in the mounted state of the flashing assembly,
- the top flashing arrangement comprises at least one pair of an inner top flashing element and an outer top flashing element,
- that each inner top flashing element and an associated outer top flashing element are configured to be interconnected in a telescopic joint,
- wherein each inner top flashing element comprises a first leg configured for extending up along an outer side of the top frame member, and a second leg configured for extending substantially in plane with the sloped roof structure and comprising engagement means configured to form part of the telescopic joint,
- wherein each outer top flashing element comprises a substantially plane base provided with top engagement means at an inner edge portion configured to form part of the telescopic joint, and,
- wherein an outer edge portion of the second leg is bent to form the engagement means of the inner top flashing element to engage with the top engagement means formed by a bent inner edge portion of the outer top flashing element.
