The present invention relates to a flashing member for a roof-penetrating structure, comprising a first flashing portion (2) adapted to provide a seal against a roof and a second flashing portion (3) adapted to provide a seal between the first flashing portion and the roof penetrating structure. The first and second portions (2, 3) are interconnected in the mounted state, so that the flashing member provides a seal between the roof and the roof penetrating structure. In the state of delivery, the first and second portions (2, 3) of the flashing member are interconnected with each other in sliding engagement allowing the relative position between the first and second flashing portions to be adjusted during the mounting process. Adjusting means may comprise a first folded over part (11) creating a first narrow fold (13) on the first sheet portion (4) and a second folded-over part (14) creating a second narrow fold (16) on the second sheet portion (6), the two folds (13, 16) meshing with each other. The flashing member may comprise a corner element (10) arranged substantially perpendicularly to the first flashing portion (2) at an end thereof. The invention also relates to a flashing kit.
A flashing member (1) for a roof-penetrating structure, comprising:
A flashing member as defined in any of the previous claims, wherein the first and second flashing portions (2,3) are interconnected by connecting means (13,16) having a generally transverse orientation allowing the flashing portions to be adjusted relative to each other in a direction generally perpendicular to the plane of the roof.
A flashing member as defined in any of the previous claims, wherein the skirt (5) has a lower free edge, the connecting means allowing the flashing portions (2,3) to be adjusted relative to each other in a direction generally perpendicular thereto.
A flashing member as defined in any of the previous claims, wherein the first sheet portion (4) comprises a folded-over upper part with a first flange (11) having a first free edge (12), thereby creating a first narrow fold (13) between the first sheet portion and the first flange and wherein the second sheet portion (6) comprises a folded-over lower part with a second flange (14) having a second free edge (15), thereby creating a second narrow fold (16) between the second sheet portion and the second flange, the first flange (11) being arranged in the second fold (16) and the second flange (14) being arranged in the first fold (13) by which a connection is formed between the two sheet portions.
A flashing member as defined in any of the previous claims, wherein means is provided for locking the two flashing portions (2,3) adjustably together thus preventing dismantling thereof.
