An roof edge assembly for anchoring foam-type roofing materials includes an anchoring flange having a longitudinal channel extending along the edge of the roof, into which a floating retainer member is received and allowed to move to accommodate thermal expansion of the roofing material. At least part of the free-floating retainer member becomes embedded into the foam-type roofing material during its application after the anchoring and retainer members have been installed on the roof. The retainer member is prevented from pulling away during application of the foam. The flange member can be separate or integral with a fascia portion.

Roof edge anchoring devices for foam roofing

A roofing system having preferred metallic roofing panels overlying a roof structure or a substrate (such as a waterproof membrane) includes a mat of loosely-woven ventilation mesh material between the panels and the roof structure or substrate in order to provide proper ventilation, thus minimizing corrosion resulting from condensed moisture. The mesh is preferably composed of an extruded thermosetting plastic material.

An assembly is provided for sealing and capping an edge construction on a building structure wherein a facing, composed of masonry or other materials, is placed along a back wall, generally in a face-to-face relationship. The edge sealing or coping assembly seals and caps the interface and joint or space between the facing and the back wall and accommodates variances in the facing depth and/or the spacing between the facing and the back wall along the perimeter of the building.

Edge sealing devices for building structures

A reglet or flashing assembly includes a termination bar member with a snap-on resilient flashing and accommodates longitudinal expansion without leakage at longitudinally-adjacent joints, as well as providing for such a snap-on flashing or skirt component that only requires installation forces that are directed toward the wall, thus avoiding adverse effects on sealants, water-proof membranes, or other wall surface panels or structures. In at least one version, the reglet assembly also accommodates irregularities along the surface of the wall, such as high or low points or recesses resulting from masonry mortar joints.

Reglet assembly with snap-on flashing

A coping assembly is disclosed for a parapet wall on a building structure that can accommodate varying or inconsistent wall widths, with the parapet wall having generally vertical inner and outer vertical surfaces interconnected by a generally horizontal upper surface. Coping assemblies according to the present invention include a preferred resilient clip member, a clip attachment device for attaching the clip member to the parapet wall, a fascia member, a top plate member, and a top plate anchoring device for anchoring the top plate to the parapet wall. The fascia member and the top plate member have overlapping or telescoping portions that provide for the feature by which various wall widths or thicknesses can be accommodated.
