Abstract
Abstract This disclosure relates to a roof edge assembly for use in forming a raised edge or gravel stop on a roof. The nailerless roof edge of the present invention eliminates the need for the piece of wood or nailer which is normally bolted to the top of a cement block wall for the purpose of fastening metal roof edges. The present roof edge assembly comprises a tab strip member which is adapted to be secured adjacent the edge of a roof using adhesive or other attaching means and which has special tab means thereon. The assembly further comprises a cant member having slot means therein adapted to mate with the tab means to secure the cant member to the tab strip member, and a fascia member which is adapted to be mounted on the cant member. The present invention provides for relatively simple, fast, and economical installation of roof edging and is adaptable to conventional roofing sealing membrane and insulation configurations.
