The present invention relates generally to building trim and more specifically to a roof edge mounting bracket for extended insulation, which may be used when installing roof edge trim to a building and extending insulation over a constructed wall of the building. The canted fascia with roof edge bracket includes a canted fascia adapted for use with a roof edge bracket.
Roof trim is typically mounted to a wood nailer, which is found on a top of a building. Roof trim includes fascias, drip edges, gutters, copings and the like. Sometimes the wood nailer may rot and not be suitable for attachment of the roof trim. Lately, building designers have been using non-wood nailers and multiple layers of insulation. An attachment height of the roof trim to the wood or non-wood nailer would be too low relative to a top of a building with multiple layers of insulation. The multiple layers of added insulation could be as much as 6-8 inches thick or greater. A device is needed to extend upward the attachment point of the roof trim. U.S. Pat. No. 7,451,572 to Inzeo et al. discloses a roof fascia with extension cleat. U.S. Pat. No. 7,647,730 to Inzeo et al. discloses a roof edging system. U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,451,572 and 7,647,730 are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Typically, a wood nailer is attached to a top of a pre-cast concrete wall. Roof trim is then attached to a side of wood nailer with fasteners. It has been found that extending insulation over a top of a pre-cast concrete wall increases insulation efficiency. However, a lower portion of roof trim cannot be reasonably secured to a wood nailer.
Accordingly, there is a clearly felt need in the art for a canted fascia with roof edge bracket, which includes a canted fascia adapted for use with a roof edge bracket.
The present invention provides a roof edge mounting bracket for extended insulation, which may be used when insulation is extended over a top of a pre-cast concrete wall. A roof edge includes fascias, drip edges, gutters, copings and the like. A roof edge mounting bracket preferably includes a base member and a vertical attachment flange. The base member extends outward in a horizontal orientation from the vertical attachment flange. A lower portion of the vertical attachment flange extends below the base member and an upper portion of the vertical attachment flange extends above the base member. It is preferable that a height of the upper portion is about at least 0.5 inches and the lower portion about 0.5 inches. If multiple layers of insulation are used, the upper portion of the vertical attachment flange will have to be greater than the 0.5 inches. The insulation may be replaced with cover board, or used in conjunction with cover board. The lower portion of the vertical attachment flange may be equal in length, less in length or greater in length than the upper portion of the vertical attachment flange. An angled roof edge bracket includes a base member and a vertical attachment flange. The base member extends from the vertical attachment flange at an acute angle.
A cantilevered roof edge bracket preferably includes a cantilevered base member and a vertical attachment flange. The vertical attachment flange does not make contact with an outer surface of a wall. A portion of the cantilevered base member does not make contact with the wall to provide clearance for a non-supporting decorative panel applied to the outer surface of the wall. Insulation is extended outward to an upper portion of the vertical attachment flange. A fascia bracket is attached to the vertical attachment flange (not shown).
A plurality of staggered fastener openings are formed through the base member. The roof edge mounting bracket is preferably fabricated from an aluminum extrusion, but other materials and manufacturing processes may also be used.
