Abstract
Abstract A reglet is constructed to be supported on the inner face of a parapet, firewall or the like which extends above the roof deck of a building. The reglet is an extrusion or a formed strip having supporting means by which it is sealed to the face of the parapet or wall. The reglet is positioned a predetermined distance from the roof deck so that it can support a cant on which the marginal portions of the roof material can be supported. A flashing strip is then secured to the material and cant by screws which apply pressure to the flashing strip to secure the roofing material to the cant and provides a seal with the inner surface of the reglet.
