  • Patent number: 11655637
    Abstract: A sealing gasket (4) for use between flashing members (31,32) is disclosed. It comprises a compressible sealing section and an attachment section comprising at least two legs configured for engagement with a flashing member, both sections extending over substantially the entire length of the sealing gasket. The at least two legs of the attachment section project from a base section of the attachment section so that a first recess and a second recess extending in parallel are defined, said first and second recesses being configured for engagement with a flange, ridge, or leg on a flashing member. The invention further relates to a flashing arrangement and to a method of sealing a gap between flashing members for a roof window.

  • Publication number: 20220064957
    Abstract: A connector arrangement for a flashing assembly for use in a roof window arrangement is disclosed. It comprises a base connector element, an elevation element and a top connector element. Both connector elements have a gutter in their exterior side, and the gutter is open at one end so that water can drain out of it. An attachment section on the interior side of the base connector element is configured for being attached to a bracket used for connecting a roof window to a load-bearing structure, and the elevation element supports the top connector element so that it is positioned above the base connector element. In the mounted state the second end of the top connector element is arranged above the gutter of the base connector element and their length directions extend substantially in parallel to each other. A method for weather proofing a roof window arrangement is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11078671
    Abstract: A middle flashing assembly for use in a roof window arrangement with a first roof window located above a second roof window when seen in the direction of inclination of the roof structure is disclosed. It comprises a middle flashing member configured for extending between the roof windows and having at least one engagement section configured for engagement with a connector element extending from the first roof window towards the second roof window. It further comprises an edge supporting rail and an edge gasket both extending on the interior side of the middle flashing member in parallel with a longitudinal edge. The edge gasket is located between the middle flashing member and the edge supporting rail in the mounted state. An end section extends beyond the middle flashing member in the length direction for engagement with the connector element. A method for weather-proofing a roof window arrangement is also disclosed.
