ABSTRACT:
An assembly is disclosed for forming a raised roof edge on a building structure that preferably has a generally horizontal roof and a generally vertical outer face. The assembly includes a dam member for forming a water dam or gravel stop, a fascia member, and either a one-piece clamping and flashing member, or separate clamping and flashing members, for biasing and securing the fascia member into a relatively tight and rattle-free interlocking installation on the dam member. Preferably, a roofing material is gripped and held against the dam member as a result of the biasing forces of the clamping member or one-piece clamping and flashing member. The roof edge assembly thereby provides an improved water dam or gravel stop structure that securely retains the roofing material on the roof of the building structure. Also, because the roof edge assembly is adapted for installation on roof structures employing roofing pavers or other roof-covering devices, and is preferably anchored thereby, the roof edge assembly of the present invention features increased stability and resistance to uplift forces in comparison to more conventional roof edge assemblies.
