Abstract
Abstract The invention serves to provide in a ridge roof, along the horizontal junctions between a sloping window and an adjoining roof structure, such as in a saw-tooth roof, facings which each comprise a vapor check profile strip arranged to permit escape of vapor pressures arising within sheathing overlying the adjacent roof structure and escape of condensation from the window without such condensation penetrating to the sheathing.
