  • Patent number: 8881473
    Abstract: A surround for a rectangular skylight assembly is provided. Each side of the rectangular surround is characterized as having an obtuse-angled profile having an angle of between greater than 90 degrees and about 100 degrees, the profile including a curb-abutting surface and a roof abutting surface. The curb-abutting surfaces abut curb members attached to the skylight assembly and include apertures therethrough for receipt of joining elements. The roof abutting surfaces abut a building rooftop and further include apertures therethrough for receipt of joining elements. The roof abutting side of the roof abutting surfaces includes a barrier material attached thereto. The barrier material may be comprised of any suitable impermeable material, such as a polyurethane foam or a thermoplastic elastomer.

  • Patent number: 8020350
    Abstract: A seamless surround for a rectangular skylight assembly is provided. Each side of the rectangular surround is characterized as having an obtuse-angled profile having an angle of between greater than 90 degrees and about 100 degrees, the profile including a vertically extending surface and a downwardly sloping surface. The vertically extending surfaces abut curb members attached to the skylight assembly and include apertures therethrough for receipt of a joining element. The downwardly sloping surfaces abut a building rooftop and further include apertures therethrough for receipt of a joining element. The roof-abutting side of the downwardly sloping surfaces includes a barrier material attached thereto. The barrier material may be any suitable air and water barrier, such as a polyurethane foam or a thermoplastic elastomer. A method of installing a skylight having the seamless surround is also provided.

  • Patent number: 6848220
    Abstract: A flashing for weather proof sealing of the transition between a roof covering and a constructional element rising from a roof surface, such as a curb of a skylight, comprises an elongated flashing profile strip with a first profile portion for abutment against the constructional element and a second profile portion for extending along the roof surface. The first profile portion has a defined width transverse to a longitudinal direction of the profile strip, and the first profile portion comprises a separation line running in the longitudinal direction of the profile strip. The separation line facilitates separation of an outer part of the first profile portion.

  • Patent number: 6629391
    Abstract: A window for installation in a roof includes a window frame with frame pieces and mounting brackets. Each bracket includes an angular bracket member with first and second legs connected integrally with each other, and a substantially plate-shaped base member having an opening for receiving fasteners and is connected with the outer side wall of the frame piece. The angular bracket member is connected with the base member such that, in a transportation position of the window, the second leg of the angular bracket member protrudes inwards in relation to the base member, and, in an installation position, the second leg protrudes outwards. Locking mechanism locks the first leg relative to the base member in the installation position, and adjusting mechanism adjusts the position of the angular bracket member in at least a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the frame piece of the window frame.
