Claims13
A flashing component for connection with external surfaces of top, side and bottom faces of a main frame component of a roof window assembly to provide a weather-proof joint of the roof window assembly with a surrounding roof-covering, comprising:
- four interconnected sides defined by a first plurality of flashing members of a substantially rigid material for arrangement against said external top, side and bottom faces, said four sides together defining an opening through the flashing component, wherein said opening is adapted to receive said main frame component of a roof window assembly and wherein two of said four sides are longer than the other two sides, and a flashing member of a resiliently foldable material connected with each of the flashing members of a substantially rigid material that define the two longer sides, no flashing member of a resiliently foldable material being connected with either of the flashing members of a substantially rigid material that define said other two sides.
A roof window assembly comprising a substantially rectangular main frame component for stationary connection with supporting means of a roof structure and composed of top, side and bottom members and a substantially rectangular window component with a glazing element engaged along all sides by a window frame, and a flashing component to provide a weather-proof joint of the roof window assembly with a surrounding roof-covering, said flashing component including four interconnected sides defined by a first plurality of flashing members of a substantially rigid material for arrangement against said external top, side and bottom faces, said four sides together defining an opening through the flashing component, wherein said opening receives said main frame component of a roof window assembly and wherein two of said four sides are longer than the other two sides and a flashing member of a resiliently foldable material connected with each of the flashing members of a substantially rigid material that define the two longer sides, no flashing member of a resiliently foldable material being connected with either of the flashing members of a substantially rigid material that define said other two sides.
