Abstract
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.
