Abstract
The present invention generally relates to metal roofs. In one aspect, a method of placing a roof system over an existing low sloped roof is provided. The method includes measuring a slope of the existing low sloped roof to determine the location of irregularity points. Thereafter, at least one shim member is placed proximate each irregularity point and at other predetermined locations. Next, an airspace is formed between the existing low sloped roof and the roof system and then the roof system is operatively attached to the existing low sloped roof.

A method of placing a roof system over an existing low sloped roof comprising:
- measuring a slope plane of the existing low sloped roof to determine the location of irregularity points;
- placing at least one shim member proximate each low irregularity point and at other predetermined locations;
- forming an airspace between the existing low sloped roof and the roof system;
- and
- operatively attaching the roof system to the existing low sloped roof.
A method of placing a roof system over an existing low sloped roof comprising:
- placing at least one shim member proximate each low irregularity point on the existing low sloped roof and at other predetermined locations;
- reducing the heat transfer from the roof system to a building or structure below by forming an air space between the roof system and the existing low sloped roof;
- and
- operatively attaching the roof system to the existing low sloped roof.
A method of placing a roof system over an existing low sloped roof comprising:
- measuring a slope plane of the existing low sloped roof to determine the location of irregularity points;
- placing at least one shim member proximate each low irregularity point and at other predetermined locations;
- directing the thermal movement of the roof system by employing a plurality of fixed and floating clips at predetermined locations between the roof system and the existing low sloped roof;
- and
- operatively attaching the roof system to the existing low sloped roof.
A member for use with a roof system, the member comprising a plate member constructed and arranged to raise the roof system relative to an existing low sloped roof and to fill a low irregularity point on the existing low sloped roof.
