Abstract
A panelized roof system comprises a plurality of panels for positioning on a roof substrate. The panels comprise a foam insulation board with synthetic fiber mat and a rubber sheet bonded to the top surface thereof. A plurality of fasteners penetrates the sides of the panels and secure the panels to the roof substrate. The panelized roof system is completed and rendered waterproof by a plurality of synthetic fiber reinforced rubber strips which are applied with adhesive or adhesive tape to the joints between the panels so as to overlap the adjacent fasteners securing the panels to the roof substrate.
Claims27
A panelized roof system construction for application over a roof substrate comprising:
- a plurality of panels positioned on said substrate in abutting relationship so as to form joints therebetween and substantially cover the top surface of said substrate, said panels comprising a foam insulation board having a mat of synthetic fiber reinforced rubber sheet bonded to the top surface thereof so as to render said foam insulation board substantially waterproof;
- a plurality of fasteners positioned in spaced-apart relationship along at least two sides of each of said panels and adjacent to said joints, said fasteners penetrating the panels so as to secure said panels to said roof substrate;
- and
- a plurality of reinforced rubber strips being applied with adhesive or adhesive tape so as to overlap both said joints between said panels and any of said fasteners positioned adjacent thereto.
A panelized roof system construction for application over a roof substrate comprising:
- a plurality of panels positioned on said substrate in abutting relationship so as to form joints therebetween and substantially cover the top surface of said substrate, said panels comprising a foam insulation board selected from the group consisting of polyisocyanurate board, phenolic board, extruded polystyrene board, expanded polystyrene board and urethane board and having a synthetic fiber bonded to the top surface thereof, said synthetic fiber being a spunbonded non-woven sheet constructed of fibers selected from the group consisting of polyester, polyamide, polypropylene, KEVLAR.RTM. (poly para-phenyleneterephthalamide), and a rubber sheet bonded to the synthetic fiber thereby forming a mat of synthetic fiber reinforced rubber sheet so as to render said foam insulation board substantially waterproof;
- a plurality of fasteners positioned in spaced-apart relationship along at least two sides of each of said panels and adjacent to said joints, said fasteners penetrating the panels so as to secure said panels to said roof substrate;
- and
- a plurality of reinforced rubber strips, said rubber being reinforced with a woven or non-woven sheet of fibers selected from the group consisting of polyester, polyamide, polypropylene, KEVLAR.RTM. (poly para-phenyleneterephthalamide), and mixtures thereof being applied with adhesive or adhesive tape so as to overlap both said joints between said panels and any of said fasteners positioned adjacent thereto.
A panelized roof system construction for application over a roof substrate comprising:
- a plurality of panels positioned on said substrate in abutting relationship so as to form joints therebetween and substantially cover the top surface of said substrate, said panels comprising a polyisocyanurate foam insulation board having a spunbonded non-woven polyester bonded to the top surface thereof, said spunbonded non-woven polyester weighing between about 3-12 ounces/square yard and wherein a 20-90 mil thick rubber sheet is bonded to said synthetic fiber thereby forming a mat of synthetic fiber reinforced rubber sheet so as to render said foam insulation board substantially waterproof;
- a plurality of fasteners positioned in spaced-apart relationship along at least two sides of each of said panels and adjacent to said joints, said fasteners penetrating the panels so as to secure said panels to said roof substrate;
- and
- a plurality of reinforced rubber strips about 20-90 mils thick and being applied with adhesive or adhesive tape so as to overlap both said joints between said panels and any of said fasteners positioned adjacent thereto.
