There is now provided a building having a pitched, sculptured tile roof with a ridge extending atop the pitched, sculptured tile roof, with a pitched tile roof venting arrangement disposed at the ridge. The building has walls to support a roof having a ridge beam, roof rafters, and battens that support roofing tiles. The roof also has a row of ridge tiles disposed on said ridge beam. A venting arrangement is disposed atop the ridge beam, between the ridge tiles and the roofing tiles. The venting arrangement has a center strip that is placed onto the ridge beam, and two side strips that cover a portion of adjacent uppermost roofing tiles. The side strips have air venting openings for the passage of air from beneath the roof to the outside of the roof. The air venting openings are covered by cover bands which cover bands permit passage of air to flow therethrough and prevent rain or drift snow to readily penetrate through the air venting openings.

Building having a pitched, sculptured tile roof with a ridge extending atop the pitched, sculptured tile roof, which pitched, sculptured tile roof has a pitched tile roof venting arrangement

The present invention relates to a building having a roof with structured roof tiles and a structure projecting out from the roof surface, such as a chimney, a window, a wall, or ventilating pipe and to a method of constructing a roof of a building covered with structured roofing tiles and a structure projecting out from the roof surface, such as a chimney, a window, a wall, or ventilating pipe and also the gap between a ridge, an arris or hip covering.

Roof covering and its method of making and using, comprising a rib mesh corrugated with at least one outer layer, the generally parallel corrugations permitting deformation without restoring creep

A covering material which can be plastically deformed by band and extended in at least one direction. The covering material has a substrate with openings, at least the top side of which substrate has a top coating which covers the openings. To create an economical covering material for covering the gap between a planar surface and a structured surface, in particular a highly structured roof surface, the covering material can be extended in at least one direction more than 30%, can be bent perpendicular to the direction of extension, and the entire surface of which covering material can be permanently and plastically deformed in three dimensions. The top coating is of a thin flat stock and that the coated substrate is, at least in the direction opposite the direction of extension, compressed, crepe-like, by at least 25% of its original length so that the surface of the covering material exhibits irregular little corrugations.

Roofing material for covering the roof of a building which covering material can be plastically deformed by hand

In this ridge or hip covering, flexible sealing strips (9) are arranged between the covering caps (7) fastened to the ridge or hip board (6) of the roof structure and the roofing tiles (3). In order that the sealing strips (9) can universally be used with the most different roofing tiles and roof pitches, they comprise a flexible supporting strip (10) which is provided on one or both longitudinal edges (11) with a comblike edge part (12) of elastically deformable material, the teeth (12a) of which are connected with an edge strip (13) of flexible material which bridges the tooth spaces allowing the teeth to spread, whereby the outer longitudinal edge (14) of the edge strip adapts to the contour of the upper side of the roofing tiles (3) lying below it. If with the sealing strips (9) both a sealing against rain and driving snow and a ventilation of the roof space is to be made possible, an air-permeable bonded fabric, in particular of polyester or polyamide fibres, can be used for the edge strip (13). A ventilation is also made possible if the supporting strip (10) has in its part, which is situated at the side of the ridge or hip board (6), ventilation apertures and is provided with upright supports for the covering caps (7).
