Abstract
A sheet roofing system involving the use of a plastics material membrane may be applied over existing metal roofs. A plastics material extrusion which may be colour matched or contrasted with the colour of the plastics material membrane may be applied over standing seams or other ridges. The extrusion is a U shaped cover, of which one leg is hinged for easy installation of the cover over the standing seam. The hinge is designed to avoid undue stresses on the plastics material of the cover. In one embodiment, the hinge is a hollow tubular region along the length of the extrusion between the leg of the U and the web of the U which forms the top of the cover.
