(54) | Building element |
(57) A building element (310) is intended for sealing a hole of a foil of an underroof
of a roof structure in which hole a rectangular support structure for a window frame
structure having a specific configuration and specific dimensions is mounted. Through
the hole access is established from the surroundings into the interior space defined
below the roof structure. The building element comprises a rim part (322) defining
a central rectangular aperture of a configuration and a perimeter substantially corresponding
to the configuration and perimeter of the hole, and a collar part (324) integrally
connected to and extending substantially perpendicular from the rim part and circumferentially
encircling the mentioned central rectangular aperture. The rim part (322) and the
collar part (324) of the building element are made from weather-proof materials, and
the rim part (322) is adapted to be arranged in substantially co-planar relationship
relative to and in facial contact with the foil of the underroof so as to arrange
the central aperture (323) of the rim part in registration with the hole of the foil
of the underroof and so as to arrange the collar part (324) extending upwardly from
the rim part (323). The building element (310) is made from reversible water vapour
transmitting plastic foils comprising a water and water vapour resistant, water impermeable
and water vapour permeable barrier layer. |
