Flashing frame for the installation of adjacent roof windows

A flashing frame for installing a plurality of adjacent roof windows inside a blind frame in a plane of a roof, comprising;

• a plurality of upper flashing members each having an upstanding cover flange for covering an upper part of an associated blind frame, a connecting flange adapted to extend beneath the roof after installation, and an obliquely rearwardly bent connecting web at a side edge of said connecting flange;
• a plurality of lower flashing members each having an upstanding cover flange for covering a lower part of the associated blind frame, a connecting flange adapted to extend onto the roof after installation, and having an obliquely rearwardly bent upstanding connecting web at a side edge of said connecting flange;
• a plurality of side parts each having an upstanding cover flange for covering a lower part of the associated blind frame, and a connecting flange which extends beneath the roof after after installation;
• at least one trough member installed laterally between two roof windows having two upstanding cover flanges for covering the side parts of two adjacent blind frames;
• and
• at least one connecting bar comprising a cover wall having side edges at which obliquely rearwardly bent coupling webs are oriented to engage the associated connecting webs of two upper flashing members, at least one inward support projection extending inwardly from said cover wall between said coupling webs adapted to be disposed after installation between opposed edges of the connecting webs engaged by said coupling webs, said support projection having support webs extending substantially vertical to the roof plane after installation and adapted to support said engaged connecting webs of two adjacent flashing members, said connecting bar having a width adjusted to a predetermined lateral installation distance between the opposed edges of said engaged connecting webs.
