Abstract

A flashing frame for a roof-penetrating building part, in particular in a roof window frame, comprises mutually connected frame members (6, 12) of weather-shielding material for positioning along the sides (1-4) of the roof-penetrating building part adjoining the roofing. The frame members for positioning along sides (3, 4) of the roof-penetrating building member, which do not extend perpendicularly to the pitch of the roof, consist of flashing members (7) designed as L-profiles with a profile wall (8) for positioning at least partially under the roofing (5), and an upright profile wall (9) for positioning in abutment against the side of the roof-penetrating building part. Flashing members (7) are placed in the side frame members in extension of each other with mutual overlapping. The upright profile wall (9) is provided with a comparatively closely packed, substantially equidistant, transverse profiling (10) and with locking means (11) for mutaul locking of the mutually overlapping parts of the neighbouring flashing members (7).
